Far Cry 5 tips on making the entire game more enjoyable

in gaming •  2 years ago 

Don't forget the whole wheel of other objects

it took me eight whole hours to realize that there is a whole other item wheel in Far Cry 5. I only discovered this after I found the rod. Once you have the L1 weapon wheel, press R1 to access the second item wheel, where you'll find your staff, as well as a number of concoctions that will increase your speed, strength, and damage resistance. There are a lot of useful items there, and several achievements are related to fishing and using these potions, so visit this circle often.

lol, yeah. It took me a while to find that as well. It really changed the game when I discovered the potions that increase damage resistance. You were pretty unstoppable at that point especially if you had a good weapon loadout.

One thing that annoyed me about the quick swap on weaponry is that it wasn't very clear about how you could set the 2 main weapons easily to be changed with one button. I found it amusing one time when I was trying to change to my sniper rifle and instead it loaded up my fishing rod. There probably is something buried in there about how you can set certain weapons to "hot swap" but it is a little silly to me that the fishing rod would ever end up in there.

It was also a bit annoying about how every time you would use a zipline, it would automatically put your sidearm into a default slot and sometimes you would land off said zipline only to have your "hot swap" totally screwed and now you are in a firefight. This is definitely not the time to need to run through the options menu to get it sorted out.

They definitely could have improved some things about this game but considering the tremendous amount of options available at any given point in time, I think they made great use of the controller's limitations compared to a keyboard.
