That is until Far Cry 5 came along!Īs you trek along and progress through the turmoiled stories in Hope County, you’ll come across a fisherman. Essentially, the franchise was devoid of any proper fishing mechanics. The way past games like Far Cry 4 allowed you to do so was through the use of dynamite and other unconventional means.

The main advantage this approach has over Far Cry 4 is that you can make the character your own.
