Far Cry 5's Companions Hang Out But You're Not Invited

Far Cry 5 boasts a small army of companion characters to help you take down the doomsday cult in the fictional Hope County, Montana. But what do they do on their off-hours? An intrepid investigation has uncovered that they all go to a party without you.

PC Gamer followed companions from remote areas on the map to see if they find their way back to their homes. They don't, and the real answer is much worse. Instead they head to a pizza place and just hang out together. It's at the 8-Bit Pizza Bar in the Henbane River region. This only applies to your six human companion options, so Boomer, Peaches, and Cheeseburger aren't allowed–which only makes sense, given the possible health code violations.

Far Cry 5 had a strong opening for Ubisoft, becoming the series' fastest seller and the top seller on PSN for March. Despite the serious tone of the premise and opening mission, Hope County is presented mostly as a destructive playground and goofy humor abounds. It's not surprising that a game with a bear named Cheeseburger would also include an Easter egg that establishes all your friends spend time together without you. An update issued recently fixes some stability problems.
