Far Cry 5: 10 Things We Can't Wait To Do
3. Build The Resistance
What we do know right now is that there are a number of featured characters you can hire out, fight alongside or work for.
Pastor Jerome Jeffries, pilot Nick Rye, bartender Mary May Fairgrave plus Grace Armstrong who's a skilled sniper and, as previously mentioned, can provide overwatch on those liberation missions where one small mistake could prove costly in earlier games.
But the official website also promises that these won't be the only characters you can meet and seek assistance from - or perhaps give assistance to.
It suggests that there are "everyday townsfolk from Holland Valley" who want to take Hope County back from Eden's Gate and that you'll also find "self-sufficient residents spread throughout Whitehall Mountains" that you can also help. There will be a "resistance meter" for these different regions and your job will be to stir up rebellion to help bring the fight to the cult.
Ubisoft are saying this will make the overall map and story progression more exciting, and that it definitely sounds like the case if it works.
