9. Boomer - Far Cry 5
You’re a deputy sent into the strange cult-controlled Hope
County. There are a number of companions that are willing to help you lead a
resistance against this force, ranging from old snipers to pilots. However,
none will be more loyal than the dog known as Boomer
After entering an area of the game known as Rae-Rae’s Pumpkin farm, you will find this curious canine has been captured by the cult you are fighting. Taking back the farm and freeing Boomer will allow him to join you as a companion, you find out that the cult wanted to make use of this brave hound too. Why not, he is a regional dog trial champion and very intelligent, perhaps too intelligent for the cult to handle.
This dog will follow and help you on your mission by sniffing out and eliminating enemies, and he will be with you all the way to the end. A Deputy couldn’t ask for a better partner.
In the sequel Far Cry New Dawn, you will find a grave
dedicated to Boomer. A bitter reminder that your friend either succumbed to his
wounds or more than likely old age. Here’s to you Boomer.
