However, until this title is released, fans need to be patient and bide their time with Far Cry 5, which isn't exactly all that bad a compromise either.

After all, most people consider Far Cry 5 to be one of Ubisoft's greatest games, featuring the most polished open-world systems that Ubisoft had been honing for the longest time in their previous games to make for a seamless and enjoyable experience. However, if people are bored of playing the same vanilla game over and over again, here are some of the best mods to make the act of playing Far Cry 5 on PC even more enjoyable.
10 Viewmodel-FOV-Mod Far Cry 5
A problem that most people have with Far Cry 5 is the fact that the FOV is too restrictive and the guns that the player carries end up occupying way too much space on the screen as well.
The Viewmodel-FOV-Mod aims to rectify this by increasing the FOV while also ensuring that this central alignment of the player's gun doesn't end up taking too much room.
9 Far Cry 5 Better Ballistics
For gun nuts who want Far Cry 5 to deliver the most optimal experience possible, the Better Ballistics mod is highly recommended.
This mod ends up taking everything into account, ranging from the size of the magazine to the actual fire rates of most weapons, and ends up integrating all of this into the main game to provide a more realistic experience when it comes to the weapons in the game.
8 Far Cry 5 - Competent Weapons
While having more accurate ballistics might be a great thing, one can't deny that modifying weapons to make them pack more of a punch sounds like a way better idea.

This is where the Competent Weapons mod comes into the picture. By integrating this mod, players can improve the damage of accuracy of the pistols, shotguns, rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, LMGs, and any other weapons along the same lines in the game.
7 Wolf Companion (FFH)
While Boomer might take up the role of the goodest boy around in Far Cry 5, some gamers couldn't help but want this canine to be slightly more fierce.
For these people, this Wolf Companion mod is the perfect fit. It allows players to choose from a wolf skin that suits their fancy, integrating the same into the games so that Boomer actually looks like a canine that will bite down anything in his path.
6 Additional Perk Points
Perks might not be all that hard to come by in Far Cry 5, but there's bound to be a gamer or two who ends up panicking and overthinking the most optimal manner possible to spend these perk points.
To help these players out, this mod makes it so that the game is more generous when it comes to its perk point system. That way, players can now easily spend their perk points without having to worry about making any mistakes.
5 Green Hope County
The world of Hope Country can be quite beautiful in its own right... yet one can't help but wonder how this area would look if the seasons happened to change. Well, modders have that base covered as well.
With this mod, the player can transform Hope Country into a summer paradise that could've been extremely serene and calming to explore... had it not been for the mad cultists who were trying to hunt them down.
4 Winter Hope County
However, if summer isn't exactly what the player had in mind when it came to choosing a season, then there's a Winter Hope County mod as well!
True to its name, this mod transforms Hope Country into a wintry wonderland that is an absolute treat to explore. Seeing Hope County with such a fresh coat of paint easily makes the act of installing this mod completely worth it.
3 Unreleased Variety FC5
There were a ton of weapons in Far Cry 5 that didn't make the final cut... but that was no problem for modders, who quickly fished out these files and integrated them in the base game for everyone to enjoy.

The Unreleased Variety mod ends up adding additional weapons to the game while making certain camouflages available to the player as well. The most notable change this mod makes to the game is altering the weapon Jacob Seed shoots with. Now, Jacob will use a unique MBP.50 that sets its targets on fire!
2 Far Cry 5 Redemption
The speed at which players can accrue Resistance Points in Far Cry 5 is quite staggering, and most areas in the game don't even need to be explored to reach the level of Resistance Points required to liberate the region.
For people who want to savor Far Cry 5 for all its worth, then the Redemption mod will serve as a perfect way to do so. This mod drastically lessens the number of Resistance Points that can be gained after a particular action, meaning that players will have to go out of their way to do everything possible in a particular region in order to liberate it once and for all.
1 Far Cry 5 Resistance Mod
However, most people argue that the Redemption mod can make things way too grindy in Far Cry 5. For people who want more control over the rate at which Resistance points are gained, they can go for the Resistance mod instead.
However, the ability to customize the RP system is only touching the surface of what this mod makes possible. It integrates a bunch of QoL changes and also allows players to roam around in areas that were inaccessible before, with the most notable of the lot being the St. Francis Veterans Center. Normally, approaching this area in the base game caused "Only You" to play before the player passed out... but with this mod, this area actually becomes accessible!
