Use the Bow
Far Cry 5 Beginner Tips
Just like past games in the series, the bow is incredibly useful in Far Cry 5. You’ll first unlock it on Dutch’s island, and the compound bow can be found in the flooded bunker. You’ll need to power on the generator to drain the bunker before heading in to grab your prize. Once you find it, the compound bow can be equipped at any weapons store, even if you have to drop it to pick up another weapon.
The bow is extremely handy in stealth situations, as it allows you to one-shot most unsuspecting enemies. Armored enemies and cult VIPs will take a few more arrows. The bow is also great for hunting animals silently, and the best part is that you can retrieve your arrows after firing them. The recurve bow is still the best bow to shoot for in Far Cry 5 of course, but until it’s available for purchase, the compound bow will serve your needs just fine.
