Best Far Cry 5 Guns for Hire Companions: All 9 Ranked

7. Boomer

Boomer, the faithful dog companion received extremely early on, is well-rounded in combat, stealth, and scouting out enemies. He can tag nearby enemies with the Pointer ability, and can retrieve weapons from enemies for players with the Retriever ability.

Unfortunately, Boomer is the weakest of the other animal companions players will receive later in the game, making him less useful in later scenarios. For the harder battles, players are going to want to grab Cheeseburger, or Peaches when the going gets tough.
