The devs need to find who is responsible for this mission and permanently ban them from ever creating missions again. This is no challenge, it's all chore. Enjoyed the game so far until I encountered this wastrel of an idea. This is one mission that's going to remain unfinished. Well done to the idiot that farted this out of their brain.
I can totally understand your frustration. It's hard to decide what's the worst part of the mission:
- the rare spawns of deers and other anklered animals
- the constant respawns of all enemies in the area
- wasting ridiculous amounts of homeopathics
- having to run over a simple deer more than 5(!) times with a quad and it still getting up and running away
- the mediocre off-road driving capabilities of your cars
- seeing animals despawn right in front of you
- did I mention that you can run over cult-VIPs in one hit, but deer can survive more than 5?
I was able to complete the mission after multiple hours but after seeing that the next mission is pretty much exactly the same crap I just quit the game. Maybe I'll play again in a few days or months but it's unlikely that I will ever touch that mission again.
Whoever designed that mission, please don't fire him. Move him to your janitor staff, with drastically increased pay, so he will never mess up a game in his life again...
Come on guys, this isn't as hard as you are making it.
1. Go to Falls End in John's region. If you haven't already liberated it, do so.
2. Get a TRUCK at the garage. Forget about an atv or car, a truck usually kills them on the first hit if you have your speed up.
3. Take the paved road that is just to the South and drive east.
4. Just before you reach the Purple Top Telecom Tower there is an open field on your right that spawns plenty of deer.
OH, a hint for the BISON road kill part that comes next. Use a Semi tuck for those
I've killed so far in my second play-through of Far Cry 5:
91 Moose
56 Cougars
52 Deer
44 Wolves
33 Wolverines*
29 Bison
28 Black Bear
22 Grizzly Bear
16 Pronghorn
11 Elk
11 Skunks
7 Turkey
4 Caribou
2 Hares
2 Boars
2 Eagles**
nary a one was run-over by a vehicle. I don't do roadkill ther's no money in it.......
* - this total is probably off as the crotch biters I tend to immolate and the game don't count'em
** - hate shooting our National bird, but these attacked me (big improvement over past FC games where this number was considerably higher)
Agree that it can be done fairly easily if one chooses the right location and vehicle but I'm guessing casual players will give up before figuring that out. I completed these but they were not fun, just annoying. And if you've ever been in a car that's hit a deer at high speed, you know it's not something you should do intentionally. Still loving the game in general, however.
Honestly, the best way to do this quest is to get the 2018 Polaris RZR (under quads), and head to Faith's region. There is an open chunk of land east of Rae-Raes Pumpkin Farm, and west of Angel's Peak. There are deer and pronghorns there that are easier to kill with a vehicle. It only takes one or two hits.
