Far Cry 5 Teaser Poster Release Date: February 27, 2018 Developer: Ubisoft Publisher: Ubisoft Series: Far Cry Platforms: PS4 Xbox One PC Genre: First-person shooter

Far Cry 5 is the fifth main installment in the Far Cry series, set to be released in February, 2018. Whether it will be connected to the series' previous installments is yet to be revealed.

Far Cry 5 sees the player take control of an unnamed sheriff's deputy in the fictional county of Hope, Montana, in the United States. There, the deputy finds him or herself in conflict with Eden's Gate, a militarized doomsday cult led by radical preacher Joseph Seed and his immediate family. Unlike all of the series' games but Far Cry 2, the protagonist in 5 is silent and customizable.

The game heavily expands on features introduced in previous games - most notably, armed airplanes and helicopters are now available for the player. The player may once again carry up to four firearms of no particular type. However, a fifth slot is added for melee weapons, now part of their own category and usable for more than just button attacks, and a sixth for utility items like the repair tool (which no longer occupies a weapon slot.)

The following weapons appear in the video game Far Cry 5:

Pistols

"1911"

An M1911A1-style pistol returns from previous games as the "1911", although this time with a new model no longer apparently based on the Kimber Warrior as seen in Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4. The scope mount (and presumably by extension any optics it would support) is apparently optional.

Smith & Wesson SW1911 - .45 ACP

Render of Far Cry 5's "1911", with the aforementioned scope mount (though no scope) attached.

The player holds the 1911 in its base form.

The player then aims down the 1911's iron sights. It is noteworthy that he was actually parachuting while this screenshot was taken, meaning the player character is somehow able to accurately aim a handgun with two-hands while parachuting, or so the demo would say.

A 1911 fitted with a suppressor resembling a SilencerCo Osprey.

SIG-Sauer P226R

What appears to be a two-tone SIG-Sauer P226R is available.

SIG-Sauer P226R (Two-Tone) - 9x19mm

The player character aims his SIG-Sauer P226R at a hapless citizen of Hope County.

Smith & Wesson Model 629

The Smith & Wesson Model 629 returns as the ".44 Magnum", although this time around it appears to be the standard variant rather than the Stealth Hunter of Far Cry 3 & 4.

Smith & Wesson Model 629 - .357 Magnum

The player trains his Model 629 on a bull, but seems more content in allowing his dog Boomer to fight the animal rather than engage it himself.

Submachine Guns

Ingram MAC-10

The MAC-10 appears erroneously as the "M11." Markings on the MAC-10 indicate it is the 9x19mm variant, and in-game it has a 32 round magazine that accurately reflects that. By default it has no modifications, but rail mounts for scopes and optics can be added, as well as a suppressor.

Ingram MAC-10.jpg

The player character fires his MAC-10 (clearly in 9mm caliber as evidenced by the text seen behind the receiver) at some cultists from the cabin of a big rig. Meanwhile, a bobblehead of Vaas, Far Cry 3's principal antagonist, stares menacingly at the machine pistol.

The MAC-10 is seen again, this time heavily customized with a suppressor, custom rail mount, and a red-dot sight. Note the 32 round capacity, which is correct for a 9x19mm MAC-10.

MP40

The MP40 is also set to appear. The weapon features an aftermarket M1913 rail mount for seemingly no reason. Like the 1911 and MAC-10, the rail mount may be optional, though this is unconfirmed.

MP40 - 9x19mm

Render of Far Cry 5's MP40. Note the extremely out of place aftermarket rail, which seemingly confirms the Far Cry team's love of "modernizing" old German weapons (like the MG42 and Steyr MP34 in Far Cry 4.) Whether or not it will be usable this time and not just a jarring cosmetic has yet to be revealed.

Assault Rifles

"AR-C"

A seemingly fictional rifle known as the "AR-C" is available. It appears to be like the previous games' "AK47" and POF P416, being the standard weapon for most enemies and allies. Though an amalgamation of different AR-15 type rifles, it is not seemingly based on a particular weapon model. The weapon has semi, auto, and burst fire available. Additionally, it appears that the weapon can be heavily customized - both short and long-ranged optics, suppressors, and even new barrel lengths can be added.

The player takes cover under fire, giving him a decent view of his AR-C's left side.

He later takes aim directly down the weapons flip-up irons, though being on a radio tower, wonders if an optic would've been more effective. He's also very thankful he won't need to disconnect a cell jammer this time around.

A customized AR-C with a long-barrel, scope, and suppressor. In game it is also classified as the "AR-C", meaning it is very possibly the result of customization, and not a separate or "unique" weapon.

Shotguns

Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6

A Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6 with wooden furniture and aftermarket iron sights appears as the principal pump-action shotgun in Far Cry 5.

FABARM SDASS Tactical - 12 Gauge

The player holds his recently acquired FABARM FP6, having claimed it from a dead cultist whom no longer had a need for it.

Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun

A Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun appears once again, retaining the name "D2" from Far Cry 4. This time, however, it has a new model, and no longer appears to be a cut down .700 Nitro Elephant Rifle. The new D2 has built in iron sights and a much cleaner finish.

Remington Spartan Sawed-off Shotgun - 12 Gauge

Render of Far Cry 5's "D2." Besides actually being a shotgun this time, the new D2 is noteworthy for its iron sights and appears to have actually been manufactured the way it is represented in game rather than being a true sawed-off.

Sniper Rifles

Desert Tactical HTI

The Desert Tactical Hard Target Interdiction (HTI) appears as the "MBP .50"

Machine Guns

Browning M2HB

The Browning M2HB appears as the game's standard heavy machine gun, mounted on both cultist technicals and in static positions.

Browning M2HB - .50 BMG

The player character "liberates" Fall's End from cultists with the help of a .50 BMG heavy machine gun. It's a shame he couldn't also liberate this screenshot from its terrible resolution.

Browning M2 Aircraft

Nick Rye's airplane is shown armed with two Browning M2 Aircraft machine guns alongside unguided bombs and rockets. These M2s are oddly in the "flexible" configuration - one intended to be manned directly by support gunners inside aircraft and thus able to rotate, despite Rye's plane using them as wing-mounted forward facing machine guns, where the "fixed" configuration M2s would be more appropriate. Of course, because his plane is a custom job, it's likely that the flexible mount variants were simply all that was available.

Browning M2 Aircraft, Flexible - .50 BMG

A Browning M2 Aircraft mounted on Nick Rye's plane. It is clearly not in the standard fixed configuration, but then again, neither is his plane.

M60D

An M60D appears to be another vehicle-mounted weapon, used on cultist pickups.

M60D - 7.62x51mm NATO

The cultist technical seen in this pre-release screenshot has what appears to be an M60D mounted.

Explosives

M26 Hand Grenade

The M26 Hand Grenade once again appears as Far Cry 5's fragmentation grenade of choice, and retains the egg-timer ticking sound heard when thrown in the previous two games.

Dynamite

Sticks of Dynamite are available as thrown explosives, thrown in the same manner as grenades. Dynamite has a longer fuse than grenades, but also creates a much larger explosion, and is especially effective at destroying vehicles.

Other

Cobray M11/9

Though the game's "M11" is actually a MAC-10, the icon for the gun appears to be a modified Cobray M11/9, which itself is a variant of the MAC-11.

Cobray M11/9 - 9x19mm

The icon of the "M11", seen in the top right, appears to be an actual M11/9 with the custom rail mount affixed.

Cover Weapons

The game's extended cover artwork features a large number of weapons, though not all of them are currently confirmed to appear in-game, so are instead listed here.

The left half of the extended cover (too large to post on IMFDb.) The game's Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun ("D2"), Smith & Wesson Model 629 (".44 Magnum"), and "AR-C" are depicted. Additionally, a regular Colt M1911A1, Mossberg 590 with extended magazine tube, M4A1 sans flash hider, SIG-Sauer MPX, and several Mk 2 Hand Grenades are also shown, though whether they will appear in game is unconfirmed.

The right half of the cover. Again seen are several "AR-C"s, Mk 2 Hand Grenades, a Mossberg 590, and an M4A1. Unique to this half of the cover are the two RPG-7s, a SA Vz.61 Skorpion, Beretta 92SB, what looks like a Mossberg 590 Cruiser, and an unidentified rifle mostly out of the shot on the far right. One of the noteworthy crates depicted is also marked for mortar rounds - whether any of this is confirmed is again, hearsay.
