Exactly. I think the weapon choices work well for the setting.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #121 on:** 05 April 2018, 22:35:24 »

What guns would you add and what mechanical benefit would they have that existing guns in the game don't provide? There are already a dozen guns that are just reskins of other weapons, the only thing they bring to the table is that they can be equipped or purchased right from the start instead of having to wait until your Resistance rating has reached a high enough level. And assault rifle class guns already have selective fire options for whether you want semi-auto, burst, or full-auto.

I'm not going to participate in that line of discussion any further.

I saw a bison flip a Peggie technical and kill the crew. Of course, while I was busy laughing, another bison snuck up and murdered the hell out of me.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #123 on:** 06 April 2018, 00:49:36 »

I've seen that too. Also saw a Peggie with a flamethrower attack a bull. Unstoppable bovine of destruction was transformed into unstoppable bovine of destruction that's on fire. The results were highly amusing.

Just pasted John myself tonight. Was a very satisfying mission. It does seem like everyone is choosing to go to Fall's End first.

So what are you guys running with? My current loadout is an AR-C, AR-CL, SMG-11, and an M113 shotgun. A decent blend of all ranges, with supressors on everything but the shotgun. Though I am thinking of exchanging the AR-CL for one of the .50 sniper rifles when I can afford it.

Side note, has anyone gotten the Magnopulser yet? Interesting, but not very useful, weapon. Ran around with it for about 5 minutes before boxing it.

Not me...I went East to Faith's region first, and did it to 99% (says I have compete 42 of 43 missions....Hmmmm), otherwise, it is done (except for the fishing challenges...do those later)

Currently running M60 (with Silencer), .50 With Silencer, The Guided Rocket launcher, and Pistol with Silencer.

I am swapping out weapons right now to get the Perk Acheivements for each (i.e. 10 Kills with Flamethrower for 3 perk points).

Just need a couple more with a Bow and then on to something else.

Also, the currently Weekly Challenge is to kill 20 Animals with fire WITHOUT Flamethrower or molotov, so that means Repair Tool and hand-to-handing them.

Just to the NorthWest of the Jail is an area where Goats spawn, quick kills (only other animals can run up are Bison OUCH and bears OUCH). get 20 kills and unlock a new Flamethrower and some silver bars

ColBosch · « **Reply #126 on:** 06 April 2018, 04:22:33 »

Flaming arrows should also work for the challenge. Might do that tonight.

ColBosch · « **Reply #127 on:** 06 April 2018, 04:29:54 »

Also, I saw a sign saying "Speed Limit: 70" today. I suspect those wacky Canadians at Ubisoft mixed up their mph and k/h. ;)

That's pretty low for Highway speed. that's close to 45 MPH.

But I did find a cave today with a Commemorative sign saying where the Hope County Cougars got it's name from.

Not my pic, but here it is

Silenced M60, Silenced (premium), .50 cal sniper rifle, RAT4 with lock-on mod, (premium) grenade launcher. I've earned so much money it made sense to just go ahead and buy the premium weapons instead of waiting to unlock the standard ones.

Yeah, I've got a friend who loves it but I've found that it's more just a cool weapon but not an especially useful one.

Incendiary rockets and grenades ought to count, too.

Nah, that's not wrong. Montana was the first of the big western states to basically admit that a speed limit on a road with few cars on it is dumb, and either raised the limits on a lot of the roads or got rid of them entirely. Wyoming did so as well, and I think some of Nebraska- not sure on others. But yeah, a high speed limit in Montana isn't a typo, it's a feature. ;)

Also, on-topic more, Cheeseburger killed a technical. Good boy.

ColBosch · « **Reply #131 on:** 06 April 2018, 15:04:41 »

I left off in the middle of Jess Black's recruitment mission last night. After work, I'll be snagging Hurk and Cheeseburger to finish out my Specialists.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #132 on:** 06 April 2018, 17:07:05 »

I still need Jess, Hurk, and Sharky. Think I'm going to run and get them, then finish up the last few missions in Holland Valley rather than the other way round.

ColBosch · « **Reply #133 on:** 06 April 2018, 17:11:01 »

Yeah, I want to go back and wrap up all the major loose ends in Holland Valley and Henbane River before I get too deep into Jacob Seed's storyline. Aside from some achievements, I'm probably going to end up going for 100% completion; I am enjoying this game that much.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #134 on:** 06 April 2018, 17:13:05 »

I have found and destroyed 13 of the 14 silos in Holland Valley. I can't find the last one. Think I'm going to have to look up a location map online to find the last one.

By now it should be marked on your in-game map.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #136 on:** 06 April 2018, 19:27:29 »

Nope. All the ones I destroyed were, but one apparently isn't.

I'm about 70% of the way through the game (I've taken down John and Faith and I'm about a third of the way through Jacob's territory), and having an absolute blast.

One question: has anyone else come upon a guy playing a guitar and singing an incredible cover of In the Pines? I found this guy in the middle of nowhere and was mesmerized by his singing for like twenty minutes.

if he is who I'm thinking of, there usually is a dancing couple with him. I've seen the singing dude a few times now.

Thanks for posting that. I was able to determine that the missing silo is at Holland Valley Station. Which is not on my map, apparently. So where the heck is it?

Now the only things I have left in Holland Valley are the two Clutch Nixon events and finding the comic books and lighters.

You can buy a Map for the Comic Books from any store, and I am assuming the same goes for the Lighters. And the Comic Books and Lighters are not just in Holland Valley but also Faith's region and I am Sure the Northern Region too.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #144 on:** 07 April 2018, 03:51:22 »

Yeah, I got the maps for both.

Hey, here's a glitch I've had happen a few times and I wondered if anyone else had experienced it: some times, one of my Guns For Hire will climb into a nearby vehicle and just drive off. Mostly just obnoxious, but it's happened to me on several missions where I was supposed to bring the vehicle back, including the Testy Festy, Death Wish, and Widowmaker. Has this occurred with anyone else?

You know, I think I've figured out the one quote that really sums up what I'd like the Deputy's response to the Seeds to be:

You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did.

NeonKnight · « **Reply #147 on:** 07 April 2018, 16:32:21 »

So, I've heard recently that Far Cry 5 has a 'Secret second Ending' like that of Far Cry 4. At the beginning, if you wait long enough and not arrest Joeseph there is a different cutscene.

https://www.pcgamer.com/far-cry-5-secret-ending/

May start a new game after I'm finished to do this and get (i'm sure) the achievement

ColBosch · « **Reply #148 on:** 07 April 2018, 16:45:26 »

Ah, that is neat. I wonder if there is a cheevo linked to it? I'm not going to look until after I finish the main game, because there are spoilers in the Achievement list.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #149 on:** 07 April 2018, 17:14:33 »

If anyone's having trouble with the live event, a shotgun loaded with incendiary ammo works really well: a single hit from a shotgun won't kill a large animal but it will drop its health down low enough that the fire will kill it pretty quickly.
