Grand Slam (Baseball Cards)
Step up to the plate, Rookies! The "Grand Slam" side mission in Far Cry 5 challenges you to track down a collection of vintage Baseball Cards scattered across Hope County. These aren't just any old cards; they're valuable pieces of Americana, often found in forgotten corners and hidden stashes. Completing this mission not only rewards you with a hefty sum of cash and Resistance Points but also offers a nostalgic journey through the game's richly detailed environments.
There are a total of 10 Baseball Cards to collect for the "Grand Slam" mission. Unlike some other collectibles, these cards are often found in more accessible locations, though some may require a bit of environmental puzzle-solving or a keen eye. Keep an ear out for the distinct "shimmering" sound effect that often accompanies nearby collectibles, and always check abandoned buildings, sheds, and even some of the more unusual structures you encounter.
General Tips for Collecting Baseball Cards:
- Listen Carefully: All collectibles in Far Cry 5 emit a subtle, high-pitched shimmer when you are nearby. This sound is your best friend when hunting for these cards.
- Check Every Nook and Cranny: Baseball cards are often tucked away in drawers, on shelves, under beds, or even on top of high-up objects. Don't just glance; thoroughly search every room.
- Utilize Your Binoculars: While not as crucial for cards as for some other collectibles, using your binoculars to scan areas from a distance can sometimes reveal their glint.
- Consult Your Map: Once you've picked up a card, it will be marked off on your in-game map. This helps you keep track of your progress and identify areas you still need to explore.
- Beware of Cultists: Many card locations are in areas controlled by Project at Eden's Gate. Be prepared for a fight, or consider clearing the area before you start your search.
Collecting all 10 Baseball Cards will earn you a sificant cash reward and a boost to your Resistance Points, bringing you closer to liberating Hope County from the clutches of the cult.
