    Far Cry 5 - Gold Edition or Standard? [Discussion]

    Hello, What's better, getting standard one for like $5 or Gold one for like $12 (current sale on Epic Games). I've heard that gold DLCs are so bad and certainly didn't worth it but the others say they are amazing. Is it really needed and will it bring me some nice content and experience? Respond fairly please

    Hello

    I just bought the Gold Edition some minutes ago, and the only reason was because it was supposed to include Far Cry 3 Deluxe Edition. But the thing is that I haven't got this game (it's an issue that all Epic Games buyers are suffering). I opened a ticket to Epic Games, and I saw in the Support forum here that it should be added to my library in about 7 days.

    Regarding the DLCs, in my opinion they don't worth the money by themselves unless you are a huge Far Cry fan (which I don't think so, same here). They don't add anything to main game, they are different games. And not good ones. Having in mind that in that case you would pay more for those extra games than for tha main game (5$ vs 12$).

    Actually, if I don't get FC3 in the coming days, I will request a refund to EGS

    Opinion is subjective and I'd say you should form your own opinion. None of the DLCs necessarily add to the main storyline and they are more or less stand-alone expansions. They are connected to Far Cry 5's collectibles and specific characters such as Nick Rye in story mode. The weapons, vehicles and outfits featured in each DLC are obtainable in story mode. For example:

    Hours of Darkness

    • ​Bamboo Stick
    • M-16
    • SVD
    • M60-V
    • Vietnam Outfit (Female & Male)
    • Vietnam GI Outfit (Female & Male)
    • 1956 Hierarch Force Civilian
    • 1956 Hierarch Force
    • 1956 Hierarch Force M.60 Cal
    • Kaumbat OH-04B Foxfly "Viet Cong"



    Lost on Mars

    • Tazer Spazer Annihilazer
    • The Obliteratorrrr
    • Nut Hugger
    • Bulldozer
    • Hellfire
    • Nerve Reaper
    • Grave Popper
    • Mars Outfit (Female & Male)


    Dead Living Zombies

    • 6P9
    • BZ19


    There are outfits from Dead Living Zombies you can unlock for the Deputy.

    To me, zombies DLC is total trash, Vietnam is a really good DLC, and Mars is a fun DLC. Mileage may vary, but this is my opinion. One advantage and disadvantage of Vietnam and Mars is that the guns are available in the main game. That means you can have a M60 from the start, which is probably the best all around gun in the game, and the Mars guns are stupidly powerful.....I don't use them at all in main game, except if I am doing a Easy diff fun run and just am looking to fiddle fart around.

    So my opinion is both Vietnam and Mars are easily worth 3.50 each, so the extra 7 bucks is well worth it.....
