Subregion 3: F.A.N.G. Center

Overview

A huge vertical north-south slice of Whitetail Mountains is dominated by the F.A.N.G. Center, where the eponymous Cheeseburger was once the star attraction. This follows the winding banks of the Moccasin River south to Silver Lake, with the flood-plain hunting opportunities and locations pointed out along the way. Don’t venture too far north or you reach the strange and forbidding St. Francis Veterans Center—a place that’ll have you feeling faint with terror!

Cult Outpost (1)

[3] F.A.N.G. Center

+RP, Ammo (Plenty), Barrels and Gas Canister (Explosive), Bliss (Barrels), Character of Note (Wade Fowler), Climbing Spots, Collectible (Cougars Baseball Card), Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Grapple Spots, Gun for Hire, Item of Note (Documents, Map), Items ($, Safe), Landmark, Shop (General), Underground, Warning!

Eden’s Gate has taken over the animal sanctuary and is using it to keep captured wolves before sending them off to Elk Jaw Lodge. Though this is the home of Cheeseburger the bear, the animal isn’t at this location. However, a good number of competent cultists are, and the tight confines of the cage paths make this oversized climbing frame a tricky place to liberate with stealth. Don’t forget to grab the region map and Cougars Baseball Card from the shop.

Cult Properties (2)

[6] Wolf Beacon: F.A.N.G. Center Hills

+RP, Ammo (Few), Climbing Spots, Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Grapple Spots, Landmark, Propane Tank (Small: Explosive)

A small cult and Judge Wolf presence is guarding this beacon, located in the foothills just northeast of the F.A.N.G. Center. Note the nearby helicopter shop!

[7] Wolf Beacon: Moccasin River Basin

+RP, Ammo (Few), Climbing Spots, Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Landmark, Propane Tank (Small: Explosive), Vehicle (Boat, Quad)

On the winding banks of the Moccasin River, this beacon is easily tackled from land, water, or air. Though the ground is flat, the trees make useful cover.

Primary Locations (6)

[15] St. Francis Veterans Center

Ammo (Few), Bliss (Barrel, Effect), Climbing Spots, Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Landmark, Vehicle (Car/Truck), Vista

Technically not a primary location (you can’t Fast-Travel here), this mysterious mansion serves as a center for moving prisoners and a place of horror and torture. Although this location appears during Jacob’s missions, you can’t physically reach this area (your blood boils and you faint before you can reach the grounds).

[16] Lansdowne Airstrip

Ammo (Plenty), Climbing Spots, Collectible (Cheeseburger Bobblehead), Far Cry Arcade (Editor), Fishing Location, Item of Note (Magazine: Hunting: Hare; Magazine: Perk x3), Items ($), Prepper Stash, Shop (General, Hangar), Vehicle (Plane)

Mission: Prepper Stash—Hangar Pains

This is the main runway for landing a plane in these parts. Furthermore, there’s a great aircraft (the Pack Hunter) inside this hangar if you solve the Prepper Stash mission to get inside.

Don’t delay; there’s a magazine, Perk Magazines, and a Cheeseburger Bobblehead to add to your haul.

[17] Elliot Residence

Ammo (Haul!), Climbing Spots, Collectible (Comic Book: Zombie), Collectible (Vietnam Lighter), Enemies (Cultist), Item of Note (Magazine: Perk x3; Elliot’s Bunker Key Card), Lock and Key, Prepper Stash, Underground, Vehicle (Car/Truck), Warning! Mounted MG!

Mission: Prepper Stash—The Holdouts

The Elliots aren’t taking any guff from the Peggies, though they’re seriously outgunned at this compound. Wade through the carnage, checking a bedroom for a comic, then claiming the keycard from the kitchen; this allows access into a bunker (under the woodshed) for your Prepper prize and a Vietnam Lighter.

[18] The Grill Streak

Ammo (Few), Character of Note (Chad Wolanski), Collectible (Vinyl Crate)

Mission: Side: Flavor Country; Side: Grill Streak

The Elliots aren’t taking any guff from the Peggies, though they’re seriously outgunned at this compound. Wade through the carnage, checking a bedroom for a comic, then claiming the keycard from the kitchen; this allows access into a bunker (under the woodshed) for your Prepper prize and a Vietnam Lighter.

The almost-incomprehensible Chad Wolanski is cooking up a storm at this woodland respite location. He has quite the record collection too.

[19] Breakthrough Camp

Ammo (Plenty), Climbing Spots, Collectible (Vinyl Crate), Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Far Cry Arcade (Poster), Fishing Location, Gas Canister (Explosive), Item of Note (Documents, Magazine: Fishing: Rock Bass), Vehicle (Boat, Car/Truck, Helicopter, Plane, Quad), Warning! Mounted MG!, Zip Lines

This wooded camp on a long island at the mouth of the Moccasin River is now a cult compound where Judge Wolves are trained. The place is lightly guarded unless Dr. Sarah Perkins’s mission is active. Explore this area first to get the lay of the land. Grab a fishing magazine from a table outside one of the cabins and a vinyl crate from the Gookooko’oo Lodge (the cabin on the camp’s south side).

[20] Old Sun Outfitters

Bliss (Barrels), Climbing Spots, Gas Canister (Explosive), Shop (Garage), Vehicle (Car/Truck, Quad)

This is a relatively quiet, boarded-up general store that you can’t access, though there’s a garage where you can buy or spawn vehicles. Note the nearby bison hunting (to the west).

Secondary Locations (7)

[33] Lansdowne Dock and Cabin

Fishing Location, Enemies (Cultist), Shop (Boatshed), Vehicle (Boat)

This Fast-Travel dock location offers Chinook salmon fishing, a few scattered foes (usually near the road up to Jacob’s Armory), and a cabin to check for minor items.

[34] Cult Training Tent (Moccasin River)

Ammo (Few), Barrel (Explosive), Bliss (Barrel), Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Fishing Location, Vehicle (Boat, Jet Ski)

South of the North Park Entrance is a river shore tent, target range, and prowling animals to contend with. Expect some ammo to scavenge.

[35] Ringing Rocks

Ammo (Few), Climbing Spots, Fishing Location, Item of Note (Magazine: Perk), Landmark

This peninsula of rocks on the Moccasin River has a boulder cluster named “Ringing Rocks.” Check the sign for a magazine.

On the eastern banks of the Moccasin River lies a sealed cabin, with scattered items to scavenge and evidence of cult atrocities.

Barrels, Gas Canister, Propane Tank (Explosive); Climbing Spots; Enemies (Cultist); Warning! Mounted MG!

Golden Valley Gas is open for business, if you’re a cult member. Expect a few foes, but with the ability to rake you with mounted machine-gun fire. Check the roof for the majority of the supplies.

[38] Cult Defense Post

Ammo (Few), Barrels (Explosive), Climbing Spots, Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Warning! Mounted MG!, Vista, Zip Line

Just southeast of the Wolf Beacon, atop the mountain and due east of the F.A.N.G. Center, is a small trailer with two machine guns and a few foes to cull.

Collectible (Whiskey Cask), Fishing Location

Mission: Side—Whiskey River

Find the red wooden cross with an “S” (south) at the south end of an island sliver, where the Moccasin River empties into Silver Lake. Swim to an underwater rock depression to snag a cask.
