You can complete Far Cry 5 in 10 minutes

Killing time.

In a callback to events from the previous game in the series, it is possible to complete Far Cry 5 in just 10 minutes.

In Far Cry 4, all you needed to do to see the credits roll was ignore an on screen prompt and stay seated at Pagan Min's dinner table. Not a difficult task considering the plate of delicious Crab Rangoon in front of you.

Far Cry 5's shortcut plays out a little differently though and you can watch what happens in the video below. Spoilers, obviously.

Of course that's not the only way to complete Far Cry 5. If you want to see what happens when you play the game as intended, you can watch the first 60 minutes of Far Cry 5 in my Let's Play of the opening chapter.

In this video you'll get a good sense of the gameplay loops and a short introduction to some of the main characters, all without having the main story missions spoiled.
