Can't spawn vehicle

[nidlo]

Hi!

So, I can't spawn a vehicle in Far Cry 5. I have checked the whole weapons wheel and no option to spawn one.
I've completed one third of the game already... Does this option come later in game or am I missing something?

No spoilers, please😊

Did you play 6 before this? If so then you don't spawn vehicles the same way. If you look on that map you can see five different kinds of stores, gun stores, boat stores, plane stores, helicopter stores and car stores.
You have to purchase and spawn cars, planes and boats the same way you purchase and equip weapons.

Took me a while to understand the point.

Simple:
- It's impossible to call a vehicle from the wheel.
- You can only call a vehicle at a garage point, on map it's green icon with car inside and you need zoom in enough the map to see them.
- Vehicles at garage are either bought at garage or unlocked by some quest, one unlock a car very fast in introduction.
- For the many other vehicle you can find/steal/requisition, you lost them later.

FC6 design choice on that is widely better:
1. You can call special vehicles (allowing crafting) with weapon wheel, in inventory you select the vehicle default. Much better design than FC5.
2. For found/stolen/requisition non military vehicles, you can bring them at a garage and later call them at any garage. But you can't craft those vehicles nor call them from wheel, still a cool option, quite better than FC5.

FC2 is many years old that's not comparable to FC5. Where FC5 is an error is:
1. At FC5 release it was already well proved that in such open world vehicle based a flexible fast vehicle call is better. (and let be clear, FC6 is too slow just for some junk small realism they gave up try do for the horse and did only for the car. But it should have been like the horse at minimum, plus a player option to call and enter or call and mount).
2. Vehicles you find are lost, this is clearly frustrating, but for its time even some years ago, this is more minor than point 1.

And no, next game in a series isn't just improvements, it requires new ideas and experiment, which can fail.

Yes indeed this is it exactly, thank you for explaining it I didn't do a very good job. I have to say I prefer the method of summoning vehicles but I prefer the vehicle store and just the vehicles in general in 5.

Myself I still wait that such open world focused on vehicles/horses/similar, provide at least as a play option, to have a magic instant call and enter in vehicle or call and mount horse. That's why jetpack is a rather strong option, always available.

And I don't see any benefit of fixed stores, even less quickly boring realism animation too often repeated in a play.

One game added call and mount with a single key keep pressed, but with a boredom too long global animation, perhaps it was ACO.

You can call in your Guns for Hire, some will arrive by vehicle.

Never quoted the case, but about side tools, the most frequent is not hesitate stop a civil vehicle and requisition it, for sure sometimes you won't see any, but on roads it's not so rare.

Oops, didn't see the notice of your replies until now, and now I have completed the game's main story. Yes, I came to the conlcusion that you only can spawn vehicles at the garages, etc (except with guns for hire). Guess this way has its pros and cons.
