Playing co-op in 5

QUESTION: How do I start a co-op session in and how does co- op work in general?

ANSWER:

Far Cry 5 offers you the opportunity to play any or all missions of the game alongside a friend in a cooperative game mode. In this FAQ we'll explain to you how it works.

Before we get to the details, here is some general information: Please note that you will need an internet connection as well as an active console membership ( Live Gold or PS Plus) to play in co-op mode. Additionally, please make sure that co-op mode is enabled in your game's settings.

To set up a co-op session, you can invite one of your friends to join you. The invitation is based on the friends list of the platform you are playing the game on (PS4, , PC). Co-op mode is not available cross-platform. The friend you'd like to play with needs to be on your platform's friends list. Simply invite a friend from your list from the game's Main Menu. They will receive an invitation and once they accept, they will automatically join your game and appear near your character with the character they customised during their own single player campaign.

In co-op mode, the narrative of the game is centered around the player hosting the game (the player who invited another player into their session). This means: - Only the host can interact with NPCs to start missions or hire Guns for Hire. - The game will progress for the hosting player. The invited player is essentially a "Friend for Hire", helping the host progress in the game. However, any personal player progression achieved by the friend will be kept and transferred to their own game (for example XP, in-game currency, inventory items, completed challenges, with some specific exceptions).

Players can interact with each other in a co-op session, for example by exchanging ammunition or medkits. Also, friendly fire is possible. If you wish, you can turn on the friendly fire option in the game's settings - It is disabled by default. However, players in a co-op session cannot travel too far from each other. Once a certain distance threshold is reached, the guest will automatically be teleported back to the host player.

QUESTION: I cannot find my bonus content in-game, what can I do?

ANSWER:

If you redeemed bonus content such as Season Pass, Deluxe Pack or pre-order bonus but the game seems to be missing the corresponding items, there are a few things you can do to investigate and fix the situation:

1. Please double check if you have finished the mission The Resistance; some pieces of content become available only once this mission is completed. To check completed missions, open the game menu and navigate to the tab Journal.

2. Please make sure you redeemed your content successfully. Double check if you entered your codes in the right place:

Pre-order Season Pass, Deluxe Pack and other content packs

3. If the items are missing in-game, please check if you may need to download and install them manually.

The process depends on whether you are on PC (Uplay and Steam), PS4 or Xbox One.

4. Double check if the items are available to you in-game. Here is some information to help you do that:

To find out what content your edition should include, visit this FAQ. To get more details about the content of your ULC, have a look at this FAQ. To check the contents of the Season Pass, go to this FAQ. For information on where to find the items in-game, consult this article.

Also, here is some separate information on the Doomsday Prepper Pack, MBP Sniper Rifle and Chaos Pack.

If the items you should have received are still not available in-game after these four steps, please contact us with the following information:

Which edition did you purchase? Which pack or bonus content did you redeem? Which content exactly is missing?

Please attach a copy or an image of your purchase receipt to your ticket as well as screenshots illustrating which items are missing. We'll be happy to investigate for you! What are the minimum requirements for Far Cry 5?

QUESTION: Where are my weapons stored in Far Cry 5 and how can I switch between them?

ANSWER:

In Far Cry 5, you can only carry a limited number of weapons on you. However, a great array of different weapons are available in-game, so you will probably want to change your loadout many times during the game. In this FAQ we'll tell you how.

To switch between weapons that you currently carry and the Throwables you use, open the Weapons Wheel (L1 on PS4 / Xbox One, Q on keyboard). This will show you the weapons you have on you. Select a different weapon from the Wheel to switch weapons.

You can also switch weapons by picking up a weapon you might find in the game world. This will replace the weapon you are using with the one you are picking up.

If you'd like to change your loadout, you can visit any shop that sells weapons. Weapons you have previously unlocked by fulfilling the corresponding requirement will be available to pick up from a shop for free at any time. If you do, you can choose a slot for them on your Weapons Wheel.

To unlock additional slots in your Weapons Wheel, consider unlocking the Perks Additional Holster and Weapons Collector - they allow you to carry one additional weapon each that can be selected through your Weapons Wheel.

Sometimes, you might find weapons in-game that you have not unlocked yet. In that case, you can use the weapon as long as you have it equipped in your Weapons Wheel. If you lose it at some point, it will not be available in the shop until you fulfill the unlock requirements.

If you decide to customise your weapon with a skin or attachments like scopes, suppressors or magazines, they will stay attached to the weapon until you decide to replace them. If you pick up the weapon again from a shop, you will receive it complete with the attachments you chose. vConnectivity issues in Far Cry 5 on PC

QUESTION: I am experiencing issues with online features of Far Cry 5 on PC. What can I do? ANSWER:

If you experience lag, disconnections or other problems regarding the game's connectivity, there are a few steps you can try. We will list them in this FAQ, starting with the most basic ones. We recommend that you follow them in the order they are listed below.

Before diving into the thick of connectivity troubleshooting, you should understand that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the way you share the connection speed plays a huge role in how you experience the game. If you are connected via wifi, please also bear in mind that you can maximise your gaming experience on the battlefield by connecting via an Ethernet cable instead.

Here is the list of steps you can try:

1. Reset network hardware This will allow your network hardware to re-establish a fresh connection to your ISP.

2. Software conflicts Make sure that no software running on your PC is affecting your ability to connect.

3. Enable UPnP Some players reported that this step helped them to fix their connectivity issue. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and is a feature that allows applications to automatically forward ports. It can be toggled on or off in your router settings. Due to the number of different router models on the market we are not able to tell you exactly how to do this on your home router. We suggest that you consult the router's manual or contact your ISP if you are in doubt.

4. Port forwarding This will allow the communication from the game server to be channelled directly to the PC and vice versa.

These are the ports you need for Far Cry 5:

TCP: 443, 6005-6190 UDP: 9000, 9103, 12000, 11110, 11115

5. Hosts file Rule out that an outdated configuration blocks our connection.

6. Flush DNS Obtain an up to date IP address of the webservice you want to connect to.

7. External restrictions Check for other factors that may limit your ability to connect. Far Cry 5 doesn't launch
