- Far Cry 5 How To Unlock Guns For Hire Slots
In stores, from various traveling traders and also in lockers in your hideouts (liberated outposts) you can buy your equipment. The majority of weapons can be unlocked by completing storyline missions or side missions. Some of the guns also become available the first time you loot them, e.g. from a dead soldier. This does not mean that it automatically becomes yours - you still need to buy it. To get weapons for free, activate bell towers.
To unlock the third weapon slot you’ll need to spend 2 Perk points on the Perks screen. Perks are essentially Far Cry New Dawn‘s way that you can upgrade your character’s abilities, and include such delights as being able to carry more ammo, breathe for longer underwater, and get the trusty Wingsuit. How to unlock more weapon slots in Far Cry 5 You start out Far Cry 5, once the game kicks off properly, able to carry two firearms, a bunch of melee weapons, and a selection of throwables.
After you upgrade the 'Holster' to the maximum level, you can carry around 4 guns - 3 main ones and a sidearm. Additionally, depending on the bag for throwables, and the bag for explosives, you can carry around various number of Molotov cocktails, mines and C4 explosives. After you complete various upgrades, you can carry quite an arsenal with lots of ammo. At the stores, you can buy appropriate weapons and put them in the slots. Also, you can buy various upgrades for the weapons.
To do that, pick the weapon that you want to modify. Then, assign it to a specific slot. After that, you access the menu that specifies the statistics of the weapon. You can pick from among three types of upgrades - the barrel, the scope and the magazine. Not all of the upgrades are available for each of the weapons, some have restrictions, when it comes to the number of possible modifications. While picking an upgrade, you can view how they will affect the statistics of the weapon.
Remember to pick the muffler, for stealth actions.
Signature weapons
Apart from the regular ones, there also are signature weapons. These are better and remodeled variants of the standard guns. They have better statistics - greater accuracy, improved firepower or firerate. You cannot change upgrades here - the gun that you buy must remain intact. There are conditions that you need to meet, if you want to get a given weapon. If you are not in a hurry, I recommend that you do that only after you reach the third Karma level, at least - you will then receive a discount of 25%, which makes a difference, given the prices of these guns.

Want to unlock more weapon slots in Far Cry 5? Come inside.
Far Cry 5 doesn’t hold your hand as much as some Ubisoft games. The world isn’t peppered in towers to climb, unlocking points of interest on the map. Instead, you are encouraged to explore, to chat to civilians, and to unlock missions by nosing around.
If you want to unlock all the weapon slots so you can go into fights fully-loaded in Far Cry 5, it’s probably best to not explore too far at first, mind you.
How to unlock more weapon slots in Far Cry 5
You start out Far Cry 5, once the game kicks off properly, able to carry two firearms, a bunch of melee weapons, and a selection of throwables. While you’re absolutely still a force if you balance your loadout, you have to make sacrifices.
Most will probably spend the first chunk of the game with a silenced pistol – good for stealth and when in a pinch – and an assault rifle, which works in most situations. Still, you’ll be itching to carry an explosive weapon and a long-range rifle. That’s why you will want to unlock the other two weapon slots as soon as possible.
To unlock the third weapon slot, you will simply need to buy the perk. It costs eight perk points. See our perk points guide for tips on how to bag those.
For the fourth, you will need to have a confrontation with one of the Seeds – one of the cult leaders dotted around Montana. The first you will likely encounter once leaving the tutorial island is John Seed. He lords over Holland Valley, his catchphrase, ‘Yes’, erected on a distant hillside like a messed up Hollywood sign.
You need to fill up John Seed’s progress bar to face off with him. Do this by completing missions, side quests, freeing civilians, liberating compounds, blowing up cult property, and killing cult VIPs. Every third of the bar will trigger a story mission.

Once you’re there, you will have a showdown with him. The perk to get the fourth weapon slot is unlocked after this fight.
