Subregion 3: U.S. Auto

Overview

This area features the beauty of the untapped wilderness to the northwest (marred only by the gigantic “YES” sign erected by John Seed’s cultists), as well as the built-up areas and main east-west road bisecting this subregion. Focus should be on the U.S. Auto garage, where Eden’s Gate maintains their convoys. Elsewhere, you’ll find remote cabins dotted about, rougher terrain the farther northwest you venture, and more pastoral land along the southern edge, by Davenport Farm.

Mission: Prepper Stash: D.I.Y. and D.O.A.

The inhabitants of this remote cabin did their best to stop the cult, as evidenced by the carnage you see as you uncover a key and a hidden stash in the bunker below (after you restore the electricity).

[13] Harris Residence

Ammo (Few), Collectible (Vietnam Lighter), Enemies (Cultist), Item of Note (Documents, Magazine: Perk), Items (Few), Propane Tank (Large: Explosive), Underground

[14] Reservoir Construction Yard

Ammo (Few), Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Far Cry Arcade (Poster), Gas Canister (Explosive), Items (Few), Shop (Garage), Zip Lines

Mission: Side: Clutch Nixon—Baptism of Fire

Large pipes, containers, and two warehouses (one accessible) are carved out of the low hills just north of the reservoir. The cult uses this to drop off cargo, and there’s a race course once used by the infamous Clutch Nixon to check out too.

Ammo (Haul!), Barrels (Explosive), Climbable Spots, Enemies (Cultist), Grapple Spots, Item of Note (Magazine: Perk x3), Items (Haul!), Prepper Stash

+RP, Ammo (Plenty), Climbable Spots, Gas Canister and Propane Tank (Explosive), Item of Note (Magazine: Perk), Items ($, Safe), Vehicle (Tractor), Zip Lines

Barrel, Gas Canister, Propane Tank (Explosive); Enemies (Cultist); Far Cry Arcade (Poster); Item of Note (Documents); Items ($); Vehicle (Truck)

With gas supplies siphoned by Eden’s Gate, this location serves as a meeting spot for the cult. It’s at a well-used crossroads, north of Fall’s End, so get to know this area. Check the roof for more items.

Secondary Locations (3)

[10] “YES” Sign

Items (Few), Landmark, Vista

Mission: Side—No Means No

A sparking shrine to the Emperor of Vehicular Excess, Clutch Nixon. Inspect this location to begin the side mission.
