I really hope they change the fact your co op partner only has access to the basic guns even after region's are unlocked on the host server unless they play far enough on their own game.

I'm playing though the whole game with my wife and she's getting pretty frustrated only being able to use starter weapons and playing though everything again on her file is really annoying.

Well world gets nuked either way, so neither ending is really "good". But true people of Hope County won't battling for their lives against the cult, if you just turn around at the beginning.
The endings only work if Joseph sets off the nuke in the Together ending, so in the other ending there's no nuke but the prolonged capture allows Rook to be brainwashed into killing after he/she hears the radio station that the Seeds have playing 24/7 that the Sheriff switches to in the end. The only true 'good' ending is walking away but even that isnt good because youre letting the cult get away with the atrocities taking place. It's a controversial message, no doubt.

Can someone please let me know something, with no spoilers please.
I liberated two zones, and I'm approaching the end of the third zone. I have cleared all story missions so far, and almost every secundary mission and prepper stash.
When I finish the game, can I still clear any secundary quest/prepper stash I'm missing afterwards (without having to reset things with the Outpost Master), or is anything "locked out" after I complete the story portion of the game?

I just want to know what I must absolutely finish, outside of all story missions, before finishing the game. :)

No, those nukes are from Russians. It's start of nuclear war. It happens in every ending, it's just matter of timing.

Well that ruins any message the game had to say for me, then. Thanks for this though, wouldnt have known otherwise.
The whole game is basically set in a world on a brink of nuclear war. Hence why so many people had bunkers in their homes and why Joseph (probably) had so easy time to start his cult about "the collapse". I guess they didn't said it at beginning just so game could shock us...

I cheated John's boss fight. I flied straight into him. It killed me, but once I load back game John was already on the ground. So I just killed in his getaway car. Easy peasy.

I did that fight over the weekend with a friend of mine on his save, and it totally glitched out on us. I was piloting the plane and got killed. When I went to respawn it spawned me on the ground and not back in the plane like I expected. My buddy also died and he too spawned on the ground. With John in the air and us in the ground in the middle of nowhere we were like "umm.... do we releoad the checkpoint or what?" Before we could react, John crashed his plane and was just sitting in it upside down on the ground between some trees. We lit him up and killed his defenseless, stuck ass. Felt like cheating but hey there's still a lot of game left.

And it all comes to ahead at EXACTLY the right moment convenient for the drama... right...

Hrm, this is really affecting my opinion of the story there that is already difficult to defend.

I still adore Jacob's ending scenario, though. Plays the redundant nature of Rooks continual capturing perfectly.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the game. I don't exactly like it either.

Bullet sponge enemies are infuriating. You can dump bullets into the machine gunners with heavy armor and they don't even notice them. It's like you're shooting an airsoft gun at those guys. Also it breaks the immersion they wanted to create where bears take full magazines of assault rifle bullets to kill. Game is enjoyable but I'm starting to regret my overly expensive purchase of this game tbh.

I wasnt suggesting you were. If anything Im the party defending it, but yeah, the game's story is not cut and dry in terms of EITHER defending or attacking imo. Theres stuff there both good and bad.

Your observation is just making the bad stand out more to me.

I honestly don't know how I beat John. I know I summoned the Alt-Right AJ Styles guy with the airplane to help... because jank plane.

I died.

On the ground, I have no clue how or when John died. I wish I would have been able to put a hole into him with my shovel.

Yes, the entire map is open and everything is available to mop up after the story is complete.

is there a way to take out alarms from a distance (ie with a sniper rifle) like in FC3? That was the last FC game i played and i remember being able to do that but doesnt look like you can do that in 5?

It looks like the only challenge I won't complete it spending 60 minutes in co-op. I have 16 minutes and don't feel like doing more lol. But I'm pretty happy I got the different kills one already completed. Really lucked out with chances for death from below.

They're nothing. Use a LMG with a scope and they're super easy to kill. The human enemies in this game are so easy to kill

John is the first boss.

You should have missions still if that's the case. Drive around rescuing people out the back of fans, blowing up silos and delivering tankers.


On a side note.....these have been my favorite villian in a long time (Joseph and John) haven't met Jacob or Faith yet though


Just say YES

Them calling all the cult leaders names with J makes me struggle to remember who is who

So i've got Nick assigned to the "left D-pad". Is there a way to order him to drop bombs on a target, or how exactly do you trigger him to act ?

Played the game most of the day Saturday and I'm having a damn blast with it. I finished up the side quest revolving around
Larry Parker and Aliens. I loved that they included something like this in the game. Now I really can't wait for the Mars DLC.

I've managed to be fairly stealthy for the most part but I think I'm going to stop and just see what kind of crazy fights I can get myself into on the roads and the outposts.

God damn planes are annoying in this, especially when doing side quests eg did the mission where you have to capture a live wolf for the scientist woman - managed to eventually coax the damn thing in the cage, killed the rest of the loose wolves, then the final part of the mission involves talking to said scientists lady - just then a plane decides to buzz overhead and I can't talk to her to complete the mission as she is taking pot shots at it with her gun!

F'sake!
Can you not call in Nick once you leave John's territory?

Either look in a direction and use your left d psd, or use your binnoculars mark and hit the left d-pad, Nick is awesome like that.

Same with other people. When you are viewing through your binoculars or aiming down weapons sights, you press on the D-pad (left in your case) to get them to act. They will usually say something to confirm your order or tell you something like "can't do that" if they can't reach where you want them to go. If it is a target to attack, there will be a kind of icon on the intended targets head. You can do it with things like Silos and Nick will drop a bomb on them. Individual people I think he usually strafes but maybe he will bomb. For characters on the ground, they are either set to attack people you tell them to or move to a certain point on the ground when you press their D-pad direction.

Is there a fix for indefinite night? My brother-in-law is stuck in permanent night on the xbox. I was thinking if he joined my session maybe it would "unbug" him, but since the game doesn't save progress in multiplayer, I'm not sure if it would help. With my luck, he'll end up bugging my game.

Hit the Xbox button, select the game, hit quit/close the application and go back in. Fixes everything

Love Boomer but I have this thing where I can't let dogs die so I hardly bring him out. I'm always petting him. If he gets shot at I throw myself in front of the bullets. Unhealthy.

lol, me too. If Boomer goes down, it suddenly becomes my #1 priority to get to him, no matter what the odds. I'll run right straight into the middle of a pack of enemies. So far it's worked out okay -- we've both survived -- but I can that see my days are numbered with that sort of strategy.

While I thought FarCry 4 was fine, this game to me is fantastic!

It has the "just one more mission" syndrome for me. Soundtrack, shooting, overall gameplay to me is really solid. I also like the story as well. I think all of the villains are actually quite good in a very "cultish" kind of way, especially Joseph Seed. Each one has a hook of something at least "reasonable" in the what they are trying to do, and then spins completely out of control by the end of the arc.

The side quests are mostly well written and entertaining and come in more organically than past Ubisoft games. It feels a little like a really really good Fallout as it has some whacky humor in it.

The characters are diverse and fairly well realized (the ones you recruit) with some banter depending on who is in your party.

Its just a really solid slick package.

Man I don't even let him come near the action, he has yet to die, I bring him out in safe zones. I make him wait like 40 paces back but if I go down I call him over to lick my face and revive me. There are time where he is limping a little and I lose my shit lol.

I wish we could tell allies to revive each other. Seems like one of those things that would have been great as a Leadership perk.

I'm pretty sure the game continues even after you take down the bosses but yea, maybe someone who has finished the game can chime in.

Don't run with Peaches and Boomer then or you will be running into a hail of bullets trying to save them constantly. It's cute when they save each other though.

They do. I was clinging to life once and one companion rescued the other who then picked me up.

I do have many missions left to complete, but no matter how many people I save, they only give me info on missions for other regions.

I think my game might be bugged or maybe there are requirements I'm not meeting for current territory sidequest NPCs to spawn, I don't know

While I'm not too far into the game, I think this is my favorite FarCry right behind Blood Dragon.

But who made the decision that when you rescue Boomer that he can't ride with you in your vehicle? I hope Ubi fixes that before I finish the game. And I swear I haven't seen such overpowered arrows. The enemies make it look like they got hit by a shotgun.

Close out the game compleyoand go back in. Heard the game has bugs. I only experienced 1 in 10 hours though

I made sniper girl drive once and she hit Boomer because he wanted to catch up, I hopped out the ride and shot a rocket launcher at her.
