Far Cry® 5 Guide

Weapons - Organized and Compared for Far Cry 5

Weapons – Organized and Compared

Overview

The weapon store isn’t that well organized making it difficult to compare weapons directly to one another… that’s what this guide is for

Introduction

I’ll be sorting weapons by their ammo type while also making note of sidearms (can be assigned to slot #4) as well as weapons which differ significantly from others in the same class (usually just those which cannot accept a silencer)

Within each section I’ve sorted the weapons by:
1st: (Damage + Rate of Fire) with Damage breaking ties
2nd: (Accuracy + Range)
Last: Handling

All weapons are fully upgraded; usually with the most expensive scope possible, but I did put red-dot scopes on all the shotguns instead of anything higher-end. Reason for doing this was to facilitate apples-apples comparisons.
