Far Cry 5 Weapons Guide – Upgrades, Prestige Weapons, Explosives and More
As in any Far Cry game, weapons play a big role in this game too. The game doesn’t explain it well but you can upgrade your weapons too. There are explosive upgrades and sticky explosives as well. You can also buy Prestige weapons and unlock a 4th weapon slot. This guide will show how to all that in the game.
First up, upgrading weapons. Upgrading weapons is not a very easy task. You need to look for a seller in Far Cry 5 and see whether you are able to access the weapons and upgrades menu. From here, you can buy new weapons or upgrade existing ones. There are two things to keep in mind though. For upgrading a weapon, it should be present in the first slot. Secondly, the upgrade needs cash. So make sure you have enough to purchase the upgrade. You can get decals and performance upgrades from the seller. Pick carefully the performance upgrade you want. Use suppressors if you are a stealthy guy or extra magazines if you go in all guns blazing.
