5 Reasons Why Far Cry 5 Players Must Protect Boomer at All Costs

He Distracts and Takes Out Enemies For You

Whether its a gun-wielding human or inhospitable wildlife, your loyal canine friend can bring the fight to enemies with fanged fury, allowing you to line up kill shots and avoid being overwhelmed by enemy attacks.

Without him though, things can take some dangerous turns, with enemies more easily able to overwhelm and kill the player. Worry not though, because that’ll only happen if you’re careless enough to let a good dog get hurt.
