The game features an easy-to-use fast travel system. You can discover more blue icons which serve as fast travel points by exploring the world. This method of traveling is free but it is only available when no one is attacking you.

At first, almost the entire map is covered by "fog of war". You can reveal new parts of it by visiting them personally. However, the game only counts traveling on foot or by using land vehicles (cars, trucks, quads, boats etc.). You can't reveal the map by using planes or helicopters. The best way to discover the map is to drive on all the main routes in a given region with a car and then use a quad to reveal areas that are more difficult to reach, e.g. in mountains or in forests.

Campaign progression - how to make progress in the main storyline?
After the prologue, you can start taking actions that will end Joseph Seed's cult. The only way to do that is to slowly reduce the cult's influence in each of the Hope county's regions by helping the local resistance. Each of the three main regions belongs to a different member of the Seed family. The cult needs to be weakened in all of the regions. Thanks to that you can unlock new story missions.

Far Cry 5 is here, and the Project at Eden's Gate is taking over the town of Hope County, Montana. The Father, cult leader Joseph Seed, has initiated the 'collapse' and mobilized his followers into an armed uprising. It now falls to you, a rookie sheriff's deputy, to take control and lead the fight back against the 'Piggies', as the locals call them.
If you're going to succeed against the cult, you need to recruit allies to battle alongside you and build up a resistance capable of defeating them. To do this, we'll show you how to join forces with Guns for Hire to help you in combat, earn Resistance Points to take over regions, and other useful information to ensure you get the best out of your time in Hope County.
