Far Cry 5: 10 Best Franchise Moments So Far

4. Far Cry 3 - The Wingsuit Debut

The Far Cry series may have previously lacked any sort of air travel, but one moment in Far Cry 3 changed all of that for the better.

Considering the series has continued to highlight the wingsuit since (except for Primal, obviously), it's fair to say that introducing it was a pretty good decision. Far Cry 3 was so stuffed full of content that introducing the wingsuit was completely unprecedented, and not something that marketing highlighted like it could have.

One minute you're meeting a contact, Huntley, and then the next he's pushing you out of a airborne plane and equipping you with one of the best features in the game. The wingsuit adds so much more to the gameplay of Far Cry, making it more open world than any previous game in the series.

The addition of the wingsuit this late into the game also tells you that your adventure is only just beginning, and certainly alleviates the worry that it might be getting a little bit stale. Thank god Ubisoft managed to keep this one a surprise.
