Get through the opening mission of Far Cry 5, 'The Warrant,' with this quick guide. Learn how to start the game and progress through the initial cutscenes and objectives.
Welcome to Hope County, Deputy! As you kick off your adventure in Far Cry 5, you'll immediately be thrust into the action with the opening mission, 'The Warrant.' Before you even get your hands on the controls, you'll make a crucial choice: the gender of your Junior Deputy. Remember, this is purely cosmetic and can't be changed later, so pick whichever you prefer!
After the initial cutscene, you'll find yourself on a helicopter, en route to Joseph Seed's compound. There's not much to do here but follow the path forward. Begin the slow walk towards the imposing church – it's your first real landmark in this hostile world.
Once inside, you'll witness another cutscene. Your first objective is to handcuff Joseph Seed. After that, make your way out of the church. Outside, you'll encounter more cult members. Don't get bogged down fighting them; your goal is to continue towards the church. Things are about to get chaotic, and this short, interactive mission will wrap up amidst the mayhem.
