So, what to do with those skill points? I will say that the skill system in Far Cry 5 is…pretty barebones. Since everyone will drop an assault rifle on death, you’ll get enough kills with that quickly, so make sure you go through the full cycle of weaponry to get enough kills with shotguns, snipers, pistols, SMGs, flamethrowers, RPGs, etc and the skill points will come rolling in. While dynamite is the most readily available explosive, once you get enough kills with it to unlock its skill points, start switching to grenades, remote explosives, molotovs etc.

What this means in practice is that you should diversify your gameplay as much as possible. In other words, no more skinning 12 badgers to upgrade your quiver. All of it feeds into the same pool of points to unlock perks.

The entire system is now linked to “achievements” where you’ll get a certain number of skill points for hitting milestones in the game, whether that be kills with certain weapons, or hunting certain animals or catching certain fish.

The first thing you have to realize about Far Cry 5 is that it’s totally changed how it doles out skill points and upgrades.
