Another week, another Live Event in Far Cry 5. This time, the Friendly Fire Live Event focuses on your Guns for Hire, who will do most of the work for you. Your task is to command them to take out cultists, racking up kills for both personal and community progression. If you’re ready to jump into the action, follow our guide to easily knock out those cultists and earn some decent loot.

Friendly Fire Live Event Progression

As always, the Friendly Fire Live Event is split into Personal and Community Progression milestones. Here’s what you’ll unlock as you progress through the event:

Personal Progression:

5 Kills – 50 Silver Bars
10 Kills – MP34 “Rye & Sons” Weapon

Community Progression:

125K Kills – 50 Silver Bars
250K Kills – Kimiko Rye “Special Outfit”

The instructions are simple: “Your Guns for Hire are ready for payback! Order them to take out as many cultists as possible and rack up those kills.”

How to Complete Friendly Fire Live Event

This is easily one of the quickest and simplest Live Events you can tackle in Far Cry 5. To complete the challenge efficiently, I headed to a nearby Outpost and used Ultimate Hunter to mark enemies for my Guns for Hire. If you’re in the endgame and have Leadership unlocked, you can equip two Guns for Hire at once. I went with Boomer and Cheeseburger (but feel free to use whoever you like).

Here’s how it works: command your Guns for Hire to eliminate cultists, let the alarm ring to call in reinforcements, and keep going until you’ve hit 10 kills. I completed this in about 5 minutes.

Access Loot

The Kimiko Rye "Special Outfit". — MP34 “Rye & Sons”.

Once you’ve hit your target, the following rewards will be available for you:

MP34 “Rye & Sons” Weapon:
Head to any Gun Shop, open the Weapons menu, go to the Submachine Gun section, and scroll to the bottom to find the MP34 “Rye & Sons.” This weapon is described as “a submachine gun whose bite is worse than its bark.”

Kimiko Rye “Special Outfit”:
For the Kimiko Rye “Special Outfit,” go to the Character Customization menu and select the Special Outfit tab. You should see it listed there once the reward is unlocked.

And that’s a wrap for the Friendly Fire Live Event in Far Cry 5! This week’s challenge was quick and straightforward, but the rewards are a bit underwhelming. Still, it’s always nice to get some extra gear and Silver Bars. Hopefully, we’ll see more exciting rewards in the upcoming weeks—maybe another week of Shovel Launchers instead of basic weapons and outfits. Stay tuned for the next Live Event, and happy hunting!
