IGN continues the series of short videos that gives us a better look at
Far Cry 5. The newest one is focused on an optional gun for hire, Boomer The Dog. He's a pretty smart doggy who can not only retrieve guns from dead enemies, but also detect them with his sixth tense, bite them, chase them and do almost everything a normal dog would do in a village ruled by dangerous cultists.
Phil Fournier, the associate producer on
Far Cry 5 explains why Boomer is such a good, helpful friend. His name is also an homage to Executive Producer Dan Hay's childhood and his friend's dog. The players will have a chance to meet Boomer and behold his amazing skills relatively soon and you can see for yourself what this amazing man's best friend can do in the latest gameplay down below:
Welcome to Hope County, Montana, home to a fanatical doomsday cult known as The Project at Eden’s Gate that is threatening the community's freedom. Stand up to the cult’s leader, Joseph Seed and the Heralds, and spark the fires of resistance that will liberate the besieged community. In this expansive world, your limits and creativity will be tested against the biggest and most ruthless baddest enemy Far Cry has ever seen. It’ll be wild and it’ll get weird, but as long as you keep your wits about you, the residents of Hope County can rest assured you’re their beacon of hope.
Join the Resistance on March 27, 2018, with Far Cry 5. Available on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
