Get a handle on Holland Valley's story missions in Far Cry 5. See how Resistance levels change the region and what to expect as you liberate Hope County.
Welcome to Holland Valley, the first major region you'll likely tackle in Far Cry 5 after the prologue. It's packed with more story missions than any other area, and as you build up your Resistance, you'll definitely notice the changes. Keep an eye on the roads, because they get a lot more dangerous as you progress!
Here's a breakdown of how the story missions stack up as you increase your Resistance level:
| Resistance Levels | Missions |
| Level 1 | Fall’s End |
| Level 2 | Valley Armed Convoy, The Cleansing |
| Level 3 | The Confession |
| Level 4 | The Atonement, Wrath, The Quality of Mercy |
Beyond the main story, Holland Valley also offers a good chunk of side content. You'll find a total of 20 Story Missions and 20 Side Missions to keep you busy. Plus, there are 12 Prepper Stashes to discover, 3 Specialists to recruit, 7 Cult Outposts to liberate, 14 Cult Properties tied to the 'Light 'Em Up' Side Mission, and 10 Collectibles scattered throughout the region.
As you push back against John Seed's forces, the region really changes. At first, the roads are crawling with patrols, so it's best to avoid them if you can. Things get even more intense around Resistance Level 3, with frequent roadblocks and the introduction of 'John's Chosen' – his air support. If you've recruited Nick Rye as a Specialist, now's the perfect time to call him in to help deal with those pesky strafing runs.
Once you finally liberate Holland Valley, you'll notice a huge difference. The roads become much quieter with very few patrols, and the air support is gone. This is your chance to wrap up any lingering Side Missions or activities, or just go hunting. Plus, you'll get an extra bonus of $400 for completing activities like Cult Outposts.
