In a beautiful spot like Montana, who can avoid the grace of the rivers and lakes? More importantly, who can avoid the murderous rednecks and bliss addicts who come with it? Certainly not anyone who plays Far Cry 5. In an already chaotic Hope County, why not throw a jetski or combat boat into your waterfront combat? With limited options or ways to discern which is best, we nail down the top 3 watercrafts to help you be the ruler of these American waters.
3. Shining Sea
A USA jetski unlocked with some true American bravery.
This jetski beats out the other available jetski (Funaki J-170) which is available for a mere $1000 if you’re really vibing a jetski. For this particular model, you’ll have to “risk it for the biscuit” on a Clutch Nixon mission needed to acquire this jetski. If you can brave it, you’re sure to get a waterside salute from your fellow Hope County companions. Or do donuts around dead enemies. Or both.
- What's Great About Shining Sea
- Given it’s a jet ski and has no mounted guns, you can use whatever weapons you see fit for at sea warfare
- Prestige item with a kick-ass paint job, who wouldn’t want one? It’s the most American jetski ever to be made. PERIOD.
- In comparison to most of the available watercrafts, this author found that the jetskis are much more maneuverable around the more narrow river outlets
How To Get the Shining Sea
- In order to obtain it, you’ll need to complete the Quadzilla Clutch Nixon mission. Check out this video guide on how to ace this daredevil feat!
2. Salacia RHIB-Z800 (.50 cal)
Is there even really a boat in this picture? We can't see one.
This boat has a real army frog vibe about it and we’re here for it. This Salacia beats out the Salacia RHIB-Z200 given its mounted .50 cal gun spot, allowing for huge damage from the water, especially if you are trying to take out outposts from a river or lake. And no, the life ring isn’t actually accessible in the game…
What's Great About Salacia RHIB-Z80 (.50 cal):
- .50 cal rounds annihilate enemies, and fewer shots are required per target
- Another very cool-looking prestige item!
- The ability to bring a companion along as a gunner or driver is useful in battle
How To Get the Salacia RHIB-Z80 (.50 cal):
- This boat can be purchased at any dock spawn for 3,600 or 200 bars
1. Salacia RHIB-Z800 (M60)
For this Salacia, what a difference a gun makes.
The true river queen, this sleek black lady is a true bringer of death. Calling to “cull the herd”, even Jacob wouldn’t be able to deny the devilish spirit of this boat. Very similar to the second spot Salacia, we put the M60 above the .50 cal given the nature of the battles encountered on the water; the M60 performs much quicker than the .50 cal and is easier to focus on targets.
What's Great About Salacia RHIB-Z800 (M60)
- This color scheme is much sleeker than the combat colors in the previous section on the water
- This boat allows you to still maintain the ability to bring a companion along as a gunner or driver
- M60 is a bit less clunky than the .50 cal, making it much more effective in quick-turning river or lake battles
