The terror spreads in the fictional Hope County in Far Cry 5 But it is not the Eden’s Gate cult that is currently making life difficult for players, but something far more diabolical. It is: a turkey?
During their strolls through the picturesque Hope County, Montana, players encounter all sorts of wildlife, most of which is not to be trifled with. It is common knowledge to keep a distance from bears or mountain lions or to arm oneself well beforehand. However, something lurks in the forests that is much more frightening than predators, fanatical cult members, or even the legendary Bigfoot…
Players get hit by turkeys
Currently, players on Reddit report their encounters with the common North American turkey, which behaves a bit differently in Far Cry 5 compared to real life. They are said to prefer attacking when you are already injured or currently engaged in combat.
Players also tell of being chased by the enraged gallinaceous birds, which can be stopped neither by bullets nor by fire.
However, players are not the only ones suffering from the turkey plague in Hope County. The feathered devils also like to join the fight against the cult members or attack innocent passersby on the roadside.
No wonder that panic also breaks out among the population as soon as a turkey is sighted: As can be seen here.
Turkeys have already been nerfed
Interestingly, the whole turkey debacle is that the animals had already been nerfed before the release of Far Cry 5. In the official patch notes, it was already aptly noted that the poultry was simply too strong.
Have you also experienced an attack from the common turkey or do you have other views on who should win the award for the strongest wildlife in Far Cry 5?
