Far Cry 5: Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Liberate Captives and Talk to Them

Far Cry 5 Beginner Tips

As you liberate outposts and build your resistance force, you’ll occasionally come across captives being tortured by the cultists. Whenever you can, try to prioritize freeing them from their captors and talk to them. Some of them might be available for hire, and will even pick up weapons to help you out in a fight.

You can press the left button on the d-pad to direct them to various locations on the field, and get them to take out enemies as quietly as they can. They won’t carry you through a fight, but they’ll at least be a nice distraction to help you survive some of the tougher encounters.
