Timber

Timber, the adorable Akita, is another fantastic Fangs for Hire option in Far Cry 5, specializing in scouting and marking. If you're looking for a companion who can help you locate hidden items and keep track of enemies, Timber is your best friend. He's particularly useful for players who enjoy a more methodical approach to clearing out enemy strongholds or those who want to maximize their loot.

Timber's unique abilities include:

  • Scout: Timber will automatically tag enemies and animals in his vicinity, giving you a crucial tactical advantage. This is invaluable for planning your approach to outposts or for efficient hunting.
  • Retrieve: After a kill, Timber will often retrieve weapons and items from fallen enemies, saving you time and ensuring you don't miss any valuable loot. This is especially helpful in chaotic firefights.
  • Mark Resources: Timber has a knack for finding crafting materials and other resources, marking them on your HUD. This makes resource gathering much more efficient, allowing you to craft more explosives, medkits, and other essential items.

To recruit Timber, you'll need to complete the side mission "A Right to Bear Arms" in the Whitetail Mountains region. Once recruited, Timber will follow you faithfully, providing his invaluable assistance wherever you go. Pair him with a stealthy approach and you'll be an unstoppable force of reconnaissance and resource gathering.
