Below you can find the best methods of earning in-game money:

Complete missions - Especially the side quests because most of them rewards you with cash (main missions do that rarely). By completing a single mission, you can get from a few hundreds to a few thousands of dollars.

Find prepper stashes - These stashes are connected to treasure hunting missions and are marked with a green jewel icon on the map. The majority of the stashes contains, at least, a few hundreds of dollars.

Open safes - Safes can be found inside of buildings including locations that belong to your allies (e.g. Fall's End). The picture above shows an example of a safe. Try to carefully examine all rooms of a building that you visit for the first time. Safes can be opened with remote controlled explosives, lockpicks (requires Locksmith perk) or by using a blowtorch (requires Repair Torch perk). A safe can contain from a few hundreds to more than a thousand of dollars.

Sell animal skins and fish - Skins can be acquired from hunted animals or by looting corpses. You can get fish by reaching fishing spots marked on the map. Take these items to traders. A single skin or a fish can give you from a dozen to a few hundreds of dollars.

Sell useless loot - This category contains maps or books about fishing that can be found in the world. They are sold in the same window as trophies that you can get from killed animals.

Liberate outposts without raising an alarm - Try to capture each of the outposts by staying in shadows and remaining undetected. A "perfect" liberation can reward you with additional $1,000.

Additional note - After defeating a "leader" of a given region (John / Faith / Jacob) you will start receiving bonus money for a lot of various side activities (completing missions, liberating outposts etc.).

1) Go to Holland Valley (John's region) & go to any farming lands like Redler residence.

What I need to do?
➤ Use melee weapons, equip harvest master & start killing animals.

Why?
➤ Each time you kill using a melee weapon, you get 2x the loot, and with the harvest master, you also get 2x the loot.
➤ So you can kill a cow and get two baits, but also kill a bear or wolf using the bat, and get 4 skins.

➀ Info by Lefedorascrublord

1. Get a bow with a sight equip
2. Get Harvest Master Perk
3. Hunt at any places
4. Sell
5. Repeat

➁ Info by ⍟KangaRang⍟

1. Equip a bow & bring Jess Black as a companion .

2. Although occasionally Jess lets fly with an incendiary arrow, mostly she kills in one or two shots, animals ignore her, you get a free arrow, and it counts as a melee/arrow 2x loot.

Also, if you/Jess kill chickens, that's 4 feathers x $100.

But yeah, killing cows for bait = low/no walking.

➂ Info by [FF7] Dogg

Silver Bars are a special currency in Far Cry 5 which serves as microtransactions.
These bars can be bought with real money.
However, you don't have to buy them because:

➤ Silver Bars can be found in the game world - look for them in cult outposts. The picture above shows an example of Silver Bars that were inside of a safe.

➤ Buy the most valuable items with the in-game dollars - Remember that you will have to spend a lot. For example, a weapon that costs 500 Silver Bars can cost you $9,000.

There are only a couple of kinds of items you can sell to vendors — maps and hunting loot.

Below we’ll talk a little more about the kinds of maps, magazines, animal skins, feathers and fish you’ll be able to find and sell. W’ll also list the prices you’ll get for all of them.

1) Map and magazines



As you explore the buildings and bunkers of Hope County, you’ll occasionally find maps and magazines that you can pick up. They’re marked with a map pin icon on your HUD. There’s even a couple you’ll be able to buy from stores.

Both maps and magazines add hunting and fishing locations to the map in your menu. Once the spots are added, you can sell the map or magazine for a little cash and not lose the information.

2) Hunting (and fishing)



Hunting animals and then selling their parts is the best way to make money in Far Cry 5.

There are 15 different kinds of animals in Hope County. When you loot their corpses, you’ll collect at least one animal skin. Some animals’ pelts are worth more than others, so check the tables below for their values. There are several kinds of birds that you can hunt — ducks, eagles, grouse, turkey and vultures — but all of them drop the same item: feathers.

The other outdoor pastime in Far Cry 5 is fishing. There are 12 kinds of fish you can catch in the waters around the valley.

3) Getting the most out of hunting



Hunting earns you the most money for your time no matter what, but you can still improve on it:

➤You’ll can collect an extra skin if you shoot an animal with a bow instead of a gun
➤You double the number of skins you collect if you unlock the harvest master perk

The best way to hunt is to find somewhere where the animals are concentrated so you don’t spend a lot of time walking around. Our favorite is the Harris Residence in Holland Valley. If you’re into big game — bison and moose — check out the Taft Lookout Tower on the east side of the Henbane River region.

At any general store — they’ve got the green handgun icon on your map — choose sell loot. There’s no reason to keep anything that shows up in the list of items available to sell, so you can feel free to just press Triangle/Y/tab to quick sell everything you have.



Maps and magazines sell for $180 each. All but two of the fish sell for $100 each — sturgeon sell for $150. Everything else is in the table below.

You should spend your money on:

Buying new weapons - Start collecting money immediately after starting the game and spend it only on the best weapons (ignore the weaker models). The majority of the best weapons can cost you a few thousands of dollars.

Buying new weapon modifications - Try to equip all your newly bought, high-quality weapons with all available modifications. You can choose from scopes, bigger ammo mags or silencers. Depending on a part you can spend additional $1,000-1,500. Note - Don't waste money on purchasing weapon skins. They don't affect their efficiency.

Additional things that can be bought with money:

➤ A bulletproof vest - These items can wear out easily but they can also keep your character alive. Think about getting a vest before each bigger mission. This item costs "only" $200.

➤ New outfits - You should get them only if you want to get Fashion First trophy. You can get it by spending at least $1,000 on clothes.

➤ New vehicles - You can get them if you don't have any good vehicles (received as a reward for completing a mission) or you want to get Big Spender trophy. You get that trophy by spending $50,000 on vehicles.

Note - Don't waste your money on replenishing the standard ammo. This can cost you a lot (even more than $1,000). Ammo can be found in locations related to missions. Another solution is to change a weapon to another model if you currently have no ammo for that particular gun. The exception to that is the unique ammo (e.g. incendiary or armor piercing ammo) that becomes available after unlocking Black Market perk. This type of ammo can help you greatly in eliminating armored enemies or vehicles.
