What's your favorite weapon in Far Cry 5?

I bring the magnopulser just in case my car gets stuck😂

Well the bow always get the job done for me

Why is the shovel not on this list?

No bow?! I personaly love the bow. I use it as a sniper, because it really good at long range, but also short range. Perfect for stealth camp takeovers

Sorry, but no weapons as are as good as the Shovel

If you have Hurk and Jess, the banter between the 2 is hilarious. also, you almost don't need a gun because these guys are a wrecking crew.

My personal favorite is 1911 with silencer, simple and does its job

AK-MS hands down the best rifle in the game and quite possibly the best weapon in the game

I'm a silent player.... always choosing weapons with firearms with silencers so I can almost clear a outpost without even being detected (especially with Boomer and/or Peaches as companion/s). The slingshot virtually replaces bows as you can fire arrows with the slingshot too and rocks can be fired to distract enemies, but IMO weighed against a silent assault rifle or sniper rifle it doesn't stack up. Only *loud* weapon is the guided rocket launcher for planes, choppers and property vehicles trying to flee.

The "Whitetailer" AK-MS is a life saver. If you pick it up early game it can carry you through your whole playthrough.

My favorite weapons for stealth are the recurve bow, slingshot with arrows, and a silenced pistol and/or sniper. It's also great to have peaches the cougar and Jess Black along as your fang/gun for hire.

One of my favourites is the D2 “Sin Eater” sawed-off shotgun. I don’t know why I love it so much, but anyone who comes near me when I have it equipped gets absolutely fucked

My favourite has to be the premium Lever-Action Rifle with the sawed-off on pistol slot. You will feel like an absolute badass playing with those, and I did half the game.

Why havent games yet improved the dying mechanics...I mean people and animals still die and fall like stuffed dummies ....I want to see some gravity and blood splatters etc in future games

IMO, the only way to really stealth is Bow and Arrow, stealth melee kill, and an accasional pistol with a silencer.

Having the ms16 (smth like that) in the assault rifle category and using it as a stealth sniper along with a 1911 suppressed is really useful. And on PC, it's all headshots.

SPAS-12 is one of my favorites. SPAS-12 with range extender scope and slug ammo is a decent mid-range sniper. For vehicle destruction the incendiary shells are the fastest method outside of explosive throwables or launchers. The most versatile weapon in the game is handily the bow though. It can function as a mid-long range weapon, a molotov with incendiary ammo, or a launcher with explosive arrows. Not much more satisfying than taking down a plane or helicopter with a lowly bow.

Nice video. I've just finished the story part without using (almost) any weapons mentioned here. LOL. Now I'm going to get 100% of this game with your recommendations. Thumbs Up!

Recurve Bow: if you do enough hunting, being stealthy, and never having to worry about ammo, then the bow is a solid choice. You get double the skins than if you were to use a gun, you can almost always pick up your arrows afterwards, it doesn’t need any additional attachments- other than your sights, and you can shoot either explosive or fire arrows to take out vehicle or heavies to short work of your enemies.

Guy: This months event is knocking people over and burning them. Also this guy: Knock peaches over and burns him.

The M60 with scope and silencer is amazing. Easy to get early and kills everything. Silencer is not completely silent but it doesn't give you position away, so stealth missions still complete fine. The power plus round count keeps you shooting. My goto.

Hearing their lack of gun knowledge is making my ears bleed

Great video! Thanks for adding different perspectives :)

Magnapulser is almost reminds me of thunder gun

8:14 it’s a MAGAZINE ik imma nerd

I personally like the .308 carbine "Old Flame" with an extended mag, suppressor, and a long ranged zoom-in scope

My fave overall is the SBS “the farmhand” I use it so much I run out of ammo quickly. The incendiary and slug rounds.

It is like 10 weapons in whoile game and only reskins/shorten versions. Lol

The MG42 is the best Light Machine Gun.

I love that you showed the Rat-4 add on such as cluster bombs awesome 😀

Haven't seen anyone mention the 45/70 lever action rifles, those things are lethal, one shot to most places on the body and just fun the use with a suppressor and optical scope!

Honestly, I just got the 45/70 T, and oh boy is that thing a cannon. I like to prioritize stealth, but always resort to a hold out point when things get messy. This gun does sniping and medium range really well and can often times just straight 1 shot guys. Combine it with an LMG and I might be in heaven

SPAS-12 with dragons breath rounds is hilarious

i mainly use SA50, recurve bow, ar-cl non sniper version, and the grenade launcher. my favorite one is the bow

The bow and arrow is super versatile once you get the explosive arrows. Marksman sight is critical for those shots from down town.

Bruh RAT4 is so sick. Its my favorite so far.

The best gun set in my opinion, is AK-47, bow, Rat4 and sin eater.

I personably use AR-C. It has 3 fire modes so can also be a sniper if needed with a sniper scope. Has a naturally larger magazine than its AR-CL counterpart. And if you have many enemies the burst or full auto has low recoil and quite a decent bit of damage. Best paired with silencer for obvious reasons

Very informative thank you guys

I'm a stealth player and I mostly use the MS16 as a close range DMR, the SA50 as my sniper, the recurve bow (probably will change, and the grenade launcher for vehicles. MS16 is the boss. The SA50 has the power, but the MS16 Trooper my favorite.

MS16 Trooper is my favorite

I have a 1911 with a suppressor, a reflex sight and extended mag. And I use that as a primary weapon. Its sooo good and if your aim is good you can 1 shot most enemies in the head. And since its silent you can clear out outposts in less than 5 minutes

That 50 cal. Sniper is my go-to. Outposts are a breeze with it especially once you have a silencer on it

AK-MS Warrior with a tactical scope. Close, mid, and decent long range. My go to

My loadout: spas 12 flameout,rat4,and big hunter compound bow.

That clip of The Division had me DYING 😂😂

The mp5 with an extended clip, supressor and a reflex sight is really great

I’ve never liked expensive weapons in far cry ever I just use bow, slingshot , silence sniper and Meeleee weapons

I generally hate machine guns. Assault rifles and Sniper rifles with silencers are my goto weapons in this game. I liberated every single outpost on hard difficultly using pure stealth.

Gold and steel sniper from season pass That gun is op Especially with armor piercing rounds

An so happy the AS-50 made it back from Far Cry 2. Another favorite weapon I love to see return from that game is the USAS-12. A full automatic shotgun. That puppy just mows'em down!

A-99 with a silencer is the best sidearm👌🏻

brass knucks is where it's at.

For the ARC-L I just put on the marksman sight so I have range and a better AR-C because of the longer barrel

I go for what I call the stealth+overkill method. Silenced sniper, recurve bow, shotgun with a silencer, and a grenade launcher in my handgun slot. Usually don't get detected, but an incendiary grenade is ready at all times as a backup.

AK-M w/ Extended Mag and Red Dot Sight (no silencer) SA50 w/ Scope, Extended Mag, and Silencer RAT-4 w/ Scope 1911 w/ Extended Mag and Silencer Silenced 1911 for close to mid range silent assassinations, also being able to do silent chain take-downs from a range is incredibly useful. Especially when you want to clear an outpost and you need to take-down 3 guys that are fairly close to each other all at once if you don't want to get caught. RAT-4 because in this game you NEED something that fires explosives to deal with the pesky enemy aircraft and the hoards of enemy vehicles on the road. The laser-guide and lock-on pretty much takes the thought out of needing to predict the path the of the target. Silenced SA50 for mid to long range silent assassinations. The semi-auto makes it easy to correct your mistakes quickly before you get caught, it's good for hunting since it takes down most animals in one hit, and it's also pretty decent for dealing with aircraft if you don't have the RAT-4 yet. AK-M has a slower fire rate than the AR-C which actually helps to group your shots better. The higher damage means less ammo needed to kill one guy so it'll save you money in the long run. You already have two weapons that cover the close-mid-long range silent assassinations so you don't need to deal with the draw-backs of using a silencer on the AK-M. Just switch to this weapon when things get hairy. You could use an LMG over the AK-M which would probably be the superior option for most, but I prefer not to use LMGs in general out of personal preference.

My basic loadout as a semi-stealth player in endgame with all the slots unlocked: Silenced SA-50 LMG with optic sight for when things get messy RAT4 for those ambush situations Silenced Pistol or SMG with a red dot sight for those close sneaky shenanigans It's a pretty good balance imo.

I love the optotisim shovel if i spelled that right, reason is the smiley face reminds me of the old walmart bags that had the yellow smiley faces on them and this shovel is also very fun when you use it as a throwing weapon too!

I used the bow and arrow primarily so i could conserve ammo until i found the magnopulser late in the game. I also used the rat4, one of the LMGs, the sin eater shotgun, the cannon magnum, and the meme shovels.

The classic rpg is in the game too

The other rocket launcher, it's the RPG you know, just a more modern version than the last three.

Agreed man the SA50 with the whitetail militia skin is a badass sniper, also my favorite

I don't have the fourth weapon slot unlocked yet but I plan to use the recurve bow, m60, rat4, and the dessert d50 as my main loadout

The thing i like to do the most is load out with ww2 weapons then attack an outpost while screaming german insanities

Number one the sling shot

Great video I was just wondering what do you have to do to get the rat rocket launcher with the lock on.

If you have the Vietnam DLC, my favorite is the M16 A1. Put a suppressor on that and the marksman scope, you’re set.

This game is so cool I got my first shotgun got knocked down by a enemy good back up and instantly shot the guy in the face in one motion! So awesome!

I'm trying for the recurve bow

very nicely explained you guys actually diserve those 4.24 m subs

I go AK-M and the SA50 sniper both being the special versions so I don't have to wait to unlock them. I also always use a suppressor with all my guns except my pistol which I then use the 44. Magnum. When I get my 4th weapon slot I either go for a shotgun or a LMG.

It's always the same loadout for me in Farcry. 1.Assault Rifle 2. Pistol 3. Shotgun 4.Launcher If some one could give me more loadout ideas that would be great.

"pesky" - word of the month!

I use the "free state", "warrior" and the "flameout" aswell as the "big spender" all maxed but the warrior has the 2nd best scope. Works amazingly, I rarely get detected/die.

Nice vid and i know its your favourite weapons but i missed double barrel shotgun

Ak all the way

When I heard him say semi auto with a CLIP I cringed so bad. IT'S A MAGAZINE. I had a BAD ear affection after that.

This is the most fun game I've played in yeaaaaaars

the suppressed .308 rifle with the best sniper scope is amazing for silent long range, and i also use the suppressed MP5 for CQB. for loud i have the P226, and the ACR with extended mag, marksman sight.

AK-MS with Reflex sight and silencer + MagnoPulser + M249 with Ranged Hunter sight and silencer + Grenade launcher = op in any situation.

I like the bolt action sniper better

I didnt played fc5 actually, but in fc4 i always had the z93/ SA50 as sniper rifle, the little grenade launcher in the pistol slot, the spas 12 and a lmg or ar with me. Most time the vector.45 or the mg42 xD, i think i will go for it again in fc5

nice list

this is actually good advice XD

Where is the freaking bow?!!?

I just got the slingshot and I’m fucking stoked that it uses rocks or arrows. It’s quick, accurate and deadly.

the dragon blood sniper is the best sniper for me (or jacobs) but the neon lights look cool on it or the D50 they both are good

While the overall game is fun...the gun variation is pathetic. You have no signature guns with 6 (yes 6) 1911 pistols that all have the EXACT same stats. America, we don't have a good gun selection.

The M60 is the best weapon.

I love the slingshot with the arrows

I use a 44 magnum steel and ivory for secondary, rat4, modern AK I forgot the name of with a silencer, free state with silencer so I have I variety of different silent weapons and loud weapons

It would have been Great to have a Mini Nuke Launcher like Fallout 4 as an Easter Egg!

You don't NEED the RAT4. You could just learn to... you know, AIM?

my loadout- both LMG , explosive arrow sling shot , big spender with pierce bullets and the optimsim shovel. I also activate all the boosts in the utility section and chug some booze

this is one of my fav new video games that have came out in a long time

Just so you guys know: The ar-cl is terrible. It’s inaccurate, and blows threw tons of ammo way too fast. I recommend the modern ak-ms. More accurate, more damage, lower fire rate for better control.

so many downgrades from far cry 4 weapons included.

I rocked the compound bow and liked it a lot in the start.

Ar-cl with variable scope and silencer. Secondary I'm using that green ak74u thing. Need that 4th weapon slot already for explosives
