Far Cry 5 is the fifth main installment in the Far Cry series, set to be released in February, 2018. Whether it will be connected to the series' previous installments is yet to be revealed.
Far Cry 5 sees the player take control of an unnamed sheriff's deputy in the fictional county of Hope, Montana, in the United States. There, the deputy finds him or herself in conflict with Eden's Gate, a militarized doomsday cult led by radical preacher Joseph Seed and his immediate family. Unlike all of the series' games but Far Cry 2, the protagonist in 5 is silent and customizable.
The game heavily expands on features introduced in previous games - most notably, armed airplanes and helicopters are now available for the player.
Pistols
"1911"
An M1911A1-style pistol returns from previous games as the "1911", although this time with a new model no longer apparently based on the Kimber Warrior as seen in Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4. It is seen in promotional material both with and without a scope mount attached (though the weapon customization in the game has yet to be revealed in detail.)
SIG-Sauer P226R
What appears to be a two-tone SIG-Sauer P226R is available.
Submachine Guns
MAC-11
The MAC-11 appears as the "M11A1." Like the M1911 variant, it too is seen both with and without scope rails attached, and can mount a suppressor.
MP40
The MP40 is also set to appear. The weapon features an aftermarket M1913 rail mount for seemingly no reason.
Assault Rifles
"AR-C"
A seemingly fictional rifle known as the "AR-C" is available. It appears to be like the previous' games' "AK47" and POF P416, being the standard weapon for most enemies and allies. Though an amalgamation of different AR-15 type rifles, it is not seemingly based on a particular weapon model. A semi-auto only variant with a long-barrel, scope, and extended handguard also appears as a sniper weapon, though it is unknown if this is a new weapon or simply the result of customization.
Shotguns
"D2"
The "D2" shotgun returns from Far Cry 4. This time, however, it has a new model, and no longer appears to be a cut down .700 Nitro Elephant Rifle.
Sniper Rifles
Desert Tactical HTI
The Desert Tactical Hard Target Interdiction (HTI) appears as the "MBP .50"
Explosives
M26 Hand Grenade
The M26 Hand Grenade once again appears as Far Cry 5's fragmentation grenade of choice, and retains the egg-timer ticking sound heard when thrown in the previous two games.
Dynamite
Sticks of Dynamite are available as thrown explosives, thrown in the same manner as grenades. It is currently unclear how dynamite functions compared to the similar fragmentation grenade from a gameplay standpoint.
