Far Cry 5: How to Play Arcade Multiplayer & What it Is

How to Play Arcade Multiplayer & What It Is in Far Cry 5

Far Cry 5 brings the franchise to the rocky mountain ranges and open terrain of Montana, though still keeps the bombastic action and gun-toting fanatics. The latest entry brings an updated gameplay mode called Arcade.

Arcade mode allows players to create playable custom maps and missions using assets from Far Cry 5 and other Ubisoft games, such as Far Cry 4, Far Cry Primal, Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and Assassin’s Creed: Unity. The map editor has been featured in Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4, but in limited capacities. Far Cry 5’s edition allows single-player, cooperative, and competitive maps.

There are multiple ways to access Arcade mode. The quickest method is to press the Start/Options button, scroll over to the Multiplayer tab in the menu with the RB/R1 shoulder buttons, and select Arcade. The other two ways to access the mode in-game is by interacting with posters randomly placed around the world or through the arcade machines located in bars.

Pick a map or mission in the menu and that is it. Unless you already have a friend playing co-op with you from the campaign, you can invite players from your friends list for cooperative or competitive action.

That is what the new Arcade mode is and how to play multiplayer in the game. Check back with Twinfinite for more Far Cry 5 coverage and our extensive wiki for more guides.
