Far Cry 5 Live Events Details List

Far Cry 5 featured a series of Live Events that gave players the chance to complete unique challenges and unlock exclusive weapons, outfits, and other rewards. These limited-time events ran from 2018 to 2019, offering new objectives each week, from hunting animals in creative ways to racking up kills with specific weapons. While Live Events are no longer active, many players still wonder what challenges were available and whether the rewards can still be obtained. This guide provides a complete breakdown of every Far Cry 5 Live Event, including objectives, rewards, and whether there’s any way to unlock these items today.
What Are Far Cry 5 Live Events?
Live Events in Far Cry 5 were weekly challenges introduced by Ubisoft to provide players with new objectives and exclusive rewards. These challenges ran from 2018 to 2019, typically launching every Tuesday and lasting for one week.
By completing a Live Event, players could earn unique weapons, outfits, and other in-game items. Initially, Ubisoft introduced a new challenge each week, but later, they began rotating previous events to allow players a second chance to obtain missed rewards.
Are Live Events Still Active in Far Cry 5?
No, Live Events are no longer active in Far Cry 5. Ubisoft has discontinued them, meaning players cannot participate in these challenges through official means. However, some of the rewards may still be accessible through community mods on PC.
