Guide to Far Cry 5's Broken Path mission. Learn how to prepare defenses, use explosives, and take down helicopters to protect Eden's Convent.

Alright, so you've just liberated Eden's Convent, nice job! But don't get too comfortable, because the cult isn't happy about losing their turf. A Resistance member is going to pull you aside and tell you the cult is on their way back to retake the outpost. You've got about 25 seconds to get ready, so let's make 'em count.

Pro-Tip: Seriously, make sure you pack an RPG-7 for this one. Trust me, you'll really need it later.

First things first, let's set up some traps. Head to the front of the outpost and start tossing some Remote Explosives. Put them on the north, west, and south dirt paths. Try to remember where you put them all. There are a few mounted guns around, but honestly, they're more of a last resort. It's way better to keep moving and use your own weapons. Also, grab some backup! Nick Rye is a solid choice for his air support if you have him.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prepare Defenses: You'll have 25 seconds to get set up. Place Remote Explosives on the north, west, and south paths leading to Eden's Convent. Consider bringing an RPG-7 and recruiting Guns For Hire, like Nick Rye, for air support.
  2. 2
    Defend the North: Once the attack starts, head to a good vantage point on the north side. With your prepared explosives and any surviving Resistance members, pick off the incoming Angels and Cultists using an Assault Rifle or LMG.
  3. 3
    Defend the West: This area is a bit tougher. Cultists here will be using RPGs and Sniper Rifles, so make sure to use cover effectively. If you have Grace Armstrong with you, she can be a huge help in taking out those distant snipers.
  4. 4
    Defend the South: The final push comes from the south, and it involves three helicopters. Don't stay out in the open! Switch to your RPG and take them down. If you run out of RPG ammo, there are some rockets near the front of the outpost, or you can use the mounted guns as a last resort. Destroying the last chopper completes the mission.
Tips
  • If you're struggling to hit the helicopters with your RPG, try using one with tracking capabilities. It makes a world of difference.
  • Don't rely too heavily on the mounted guns; staying mobile and using your own weapons is generally more effective.
  • Grace Armstrong is particularly useful for dealing with the snipers on the west side.
