Post-Game Content

Congratulations, Deputy! You've faced the Collapse and survived. While the main story of Far Cry 5 concludes with a bang (or several), Hope County still holds plenty of challenges, secrets, and opportunities for mayhem. This guide will walk you through maximizing your post-game experience, from hunting down every last collectible to dominating the Arcade.

Reclaiming Hope County: The Resistance Continues

Even after dealing with Joseph Seed, remnants of the Project at Eden's Gate remain. Hope County is not entirely free, and there's still work to be done to truly liberate its citizens and resources.

  • Outpost Master: Once you've cleared all 20 cult outposts across John's, Faith's, and Jacob's regions, you unlock the "Outpost Master" feature. This allows you to reset any liberated outpost, increasing its difficulty and providing fresh challenges.
    • Strategy: Resetting outposts is an excellent way to earn additional cash, perk points, and practice your stealth or assault tactics. The enemies are tougher, often including Heavies and Snipers, so bring your best gear. Consider using your favorite Fangs for Hire (e.g., Peaches for stealth, Cheeseburger for direct assault) to adapt to the increased difficulty.
    • Rewards: Successfully clearing a reset outpost grants significantly more cash and experience than the initial liberation. It's a prime method for grinding perk points to unlock any remaining skills.
  • Side Missions & Prepper Stashes: If you haven't completed every side mission or discovered all Prepper Stashes during the main campaign, now is the time. Many of these offer unique weapons, vehicles, and substantial cash rewards.
    • John's Region: Look for missions like "The Judge" for unique hunting challenges or "Patriot Acts" for some explosive fun. Prepper Stashes like "Deep Dive" (found at the Silver Lake Boathouse) offer valuable loot.
    • Faith's Region: Seek out "The Blissful" missions for more insight into the cult's drug operations. "O'Hara's Haunted House" (located in the Henbane River) is a memorable Prepper Stash.
    • Jacob's Region: Complete "The World is Weak" for a unique hunting experience. The "Unloaded" Prepper Stash (near the Grand View Hotel) is a good source of supplies.

Collectibles & Exploration: Uncovering Every Secret

Hope County is vast and filled with hidden items that offer lore, cash, and perk points. Dedicate time to tracking down every last one.

  • Comic Books: There are 12 "Oh Johnny" comic books scattered across the map. Collecting them all grants the "The Good Life" achievement/trophy and a hefty cash bonus.
  • Vinyl Records: Find all 10 "Hope County" vinyl records to unlock the "Audiophile" achievement/trophy and receive a reward.
  • Lighters: Discover 10 "Vietnam" lighters for the "Ignited" achievement/trophy.
  • Baseball Cards: Collect all 10 "Baseball" cards for the "Home Run" achievement/trophy.
  • Bobbleheads: Locate all 10 "UFO" bobbleheads to earn the "Close Encounters" achievement/trophy.
  • Fishing: Master the art of fishing! Catching all 12 unique fish species (e.g., Pallid Sturgeon, Golden Trout, Smallmouth Bass) across the different regions not only earns you perk points but also provides valuable fish meat for crafting or selling. Look for fishing spots marked on your map.
  • Hunting: Hunt down all the rare and exotic animals, such as the Legendary Grizzly "Cheeseburger" (if you haven't already recruited him), the Legendary Moose "Moosejaw," or the Legendary Wolverine "The Grizzly." These hunts often provide unique pelts for selling and contribute to your overall completion.

Far Cry Arcade: Endless Multiplayer & Map Creation

The Far Cry Arcade offers a robust post-game experience, allowing you to engage in both competitive multiplayer and creative map design.

Arcade Multiplayer

Dive into various game modes against other players or AI:

  • Deathmatch: Classic free-for-all combat.
  • Team Deathmatch: Two teams battle for supremacy.
  • Bounty Hunt: Eliminate a specific target while avoiding being hunted yourself.
  • Assault: Attack or defend objectives.
  • Journey: A cooperative mode where players work together to complete objectives.
  • Strategies:
    • Perk Loadouts: Experiment with different perk combinations in the Arcade. Perks like "Fast Reload," "Extra Health," and "Weapon Handling" are universally useful.
    • Map Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with popular community-created maps. Knowing choke points, cover, and weapon spawns is crucial.
    • Weapon Specialization: Find a weapon type you excel with (e.g., assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles) and stick with it to maximize your effectiveness.

Arcade Editor

Unleash your creativity by designing your own maps for others to play:

  • Map Types: Create maps for Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Bounty Hunt, Assault, or Journey modes.
  • Assets: use thousands of assets from Far Cry 5, Far Cry 4, Far Cry Primal, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, and Assassin's Creed Unity to build unique environments.
  • Publishing: Share your creations with the world and see how they rank among the community.
  • Tips for Map Creation:
    • Balance: Ensure fair spawns and balanced weapon/health pack placement.
    • Flow: Design clear pathways and interesting combat arenas.
    • Theme: Give your map a distinct theme or narrative to make it stand out.
    • Testing: Thoroughly test your map with friends or AI before publishing to catch any exploits or design flaws.
