Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5 is almost out and will hit PC, PS4, and Xbox One on March 27th. Folks looking for a head start to obtain all perks and skills in the game will find how to do so hopefully in this guide.
Far Cry 5 has a Perk and Skill system, however it’s unclear how different it will be from previous Far Cry games at launch. To get a nice idea how this system will work ahead of its late March debut, a video attempts to explain what every category, skill, and perk will do in Far Cry 5.
The video comes in by YouTuber GF LaserBolt.
