    Far cry 5 Shovel Run

    So I was messing around in Farcry 5 and ran out of ammo on my gun so I switched to my secondary which ended up being a shovel. As one of the armoured guys ran at me I decided to throw it at him and it ended up killing him in one shot. I then decided to clear out some outposts like this and realised it is a hilarious way to clear the outposts. Has anyone else noticed how OP the shovel is in Farcry 5 and if so has anyone done a shovel only run of the game I would love to see it.usps tracking showbox speed test

    Only real issue would be aircraft, as you don't have anything to hit them with. My son and I, have done a bow, pistol run with all throwables, which includes shovels. Yeah, shovels are massively overpowered, as they seem to be a simple re-texture of the Spear from FarCry Primal, and they used the max level stats.

    Bow pistol run is bows for light people, and explosive arrows for planes and helos, .45 pistols for more rapid shots and AP rounds as needed, and shovels for heavies and yeah, when something just has to die....add in grenades, c4 and such, and the game isn't hard even with no health upgrades.
