Far Cry 5: How do I install maps and mods

Introduction

There are two kinds of (legal) additions to the Far Cry game. Mods and Maps.

Maps

Maps come in two main flavors Single Player (SP) and Multiplayer (MP). All maps are placed in the ..\Far Cry\levels folder after you unzip them.

Single player maps are like levels in the game complete with mercs and/or trigens with AI and cutscenes. You access a single player map by starting Far Cry and hitting the tilde (~) key. A green popup will fill the upper half of your screen. This is called the console. In the console type "\map mapname" use a backslash and do not type the quotes. Instead of the word mapname type the name of the map you want to play exactly as it appears in the levels directory. The map will load and you can play.

A common error is to have a map imbedded inside another folder with the same name. So D:\games\farcry\levels\mapname\ will work but D:\games\farcry\levels\mapname\mapname\ will not.

Multiplayer maps come in two main flavors. Free-for-all (FFA)/Team-Death-Match (TDM) is one and assault is the other. To play a multiplayer map you need to start the game and hit the multiplayer button on the left of the main screen. From here you can log on to UBI and find a server that is running the map. To test the map locally, create a server on the LAN tab. In the server main page select the type of gameplay in the lower right and then select the map you want to play. Hit start and the map will load.

Mods

Mods are modifications of how the game looks and plays. There might be different "skins" to give weapons or vehicles a new look or characters might be added or new weapons or sounds etc.
To load a mod you need to put the files in the ..\far Cry\mods folder When you start the game click the mods button in the main menu and select the mod you want to run. You will need to restart the game. When the game has restarted it will have the new mod in place.
