Improved Crafting System
The crafting system in past Far Cry games has been fun, but it is starting to feel a little bit routine. It’s a great way to encourage players to explore the map in search of a certain type of plant or animal, but it doesn’t make a great deal of sense that only, say, a rhino’s skin can upgrade your gun holsters. Why not a boar skin? Or an elephant? Can’t we use our prey’s bones to craft a makeshift knife, or even use furs to create new clothing items?
A crafting system in Far Cry 5 is definitely still a feature we want included, but it would be great if it felt a little more realistic than past games. Once you’d upgraded your main items, there was little reason to hunt again. Hunting is a big part of American culture and we’d love to see it take a more prominent role in Far Cry 5. Hunting competitions could be included and pelts and furs could be used not only to upgrade your character, but also to sell in order to boost the economy or maybe even to customize your base. No HQ is complete without a cougar rug on the floor, right?
