Far Cry 5's Melee Weapons Are The Best
Far Cry 5 provides you with a vast open world full of enemies to dispatch, and numerous ways with which to do so. Whether it's the wide array of guns, the bow, or a vehicle, there's a great deal of variety for dealing with nefarious cultists. But it's the game's lineup of melee weapons that stand out as the real highlight in combat.
Melee weapons prove to be not just versatile--you can silently take down enemies using them or just smack them right in the face--but also incredibly satisfying. They're not a last resort meant for when you run out of ammo; using them can be a legitimate strategy or simply a fun way to spend some time. It certainly doesn't hurt that you can throw melee weapons for some long-range damage, which is every bit as enjoyable as it sounds.
In the video above, we run through some tips for making the most of Far Cry 5's melee weapons. There are specific Perks that will help you to be more effective, and certain homeopathics that lend themselves to being combined with a melee weapon. And if you're bringing along AI companions, that are some--like Very Good Boy Boomer--that serve as the best complements.
If you'd instead prefer to use something that shoots, we have recommendations for the game's nine best weapons. We also have tips you should know before starting and a look at the game's Easter eggs and secrets. For much more, check out our in-depth Far Cry 5 review.
