To really make far cry 5 vehicle crafting off the chain include the options to make armour plating and battering rams for loud and proud raids and attacks smashing through building walls in enemy camps and hideouts from metal in garages as well as mounting rifles, heavy machine guns, heavy grenade launchers and howitzers on the roofs doors and backs of vehicles by finding the blueprints for these mean machines and ordering them from a mechanic where you’ll be treated a brief skippable montage of your weapon of mass destruction being built by hand as your mechanic and his team use power tools like drills saws blowtorches and hammers screwdrivers and nails from their toolkits.
The same will apply with weapons as you’ll often find unused gear like nail and rivet guns which can be turned into rapid fire weapons that can pepper people and send vehicles flipping over. Players can turn the most mundane items like bags of flour, cans of oil, paint bales of hay and sawdust into makeshift smokescreens combined with fans fire or gusts of winds allowing players to get the drop on the enemy.
Old stationary cannons can be turned into launchers firing rounds made from heated and cooled combinations of gunpowder and cement/dough/batter like substance so it’s wise to keep an eye out for the necessary mixtures in kitchens and building sites.
Explosions near glass and metallic objects like gas cylinders, generators, drums and windows will now spray broken glass and metal shrapnel into enemies with gruesome and graphic results like wounds right through to the bones with visibly large exit and entry wounds ruptured organs missing limbs or organs reduced to exposed bone and cartilage
