The types of enemies that spawn depend on the player's progression through the story.
Enemies are organized into four ranks, with the "Elites" being the highest rank and toughest enemies to fight. Unlike previous Far Cry games, Far Cry New Dawn presents a tier-based combat system. The hunting system is back but with mutated animals. You can scavenge and retake each outpost as many times as you want. Outposts are back but with a new twist: you can either liberate the outpost to produce ethanol or you can scavenge it to produce more ethanol but The Highwaymen will take control of the outpost again and it will increase the outpost's difficulty and become more fortified. These new features are weapon crafting and Expeditions. Far Cry New Dawn also has some new features. Players assume the role of The Security Captain for Rush's group, and upon arriving in Hope County, they are swept up in a conflict between the Scavengers, the Highwaymen, and New Eden.Īs in any other Far Cry game, the open world first person shooter still remains the same with features used from Far Cry 5 like customizing vehicles and Prepper Stashes. Rush's group dedicate themselves to engineering and bio-farming in order to assist communities across the country. One group of survivors formed in California is led by Thomas Rush. Humans that survived the bombs now work to rebuild, forming communities across the county.
Endless black rain and wind have given way to blue skies and blooming flora. Seventeen years after the nuclear explosions that devastated Hope County, life has returned to Hope County, Montana.
