History VideoGame / FarCryNewDawn

** One location in the southeast of Hope County is called the [[Film/MadMaxFuryRoad Bullet Farm]].

* BattleAmongTheFlames: The penultimate story battle plays out this way.

* BigBadDuumvirate: The Twins depicted in the cover, Mickey and Lou, are the leaders of the Highwaymen.

* ActionBomb: High-level Highwaymen stronghold occasionally field dogs with {{Explosive Collar}}s that deal extreme damage to everything in a considerable radius. They spell instant death on all but the lowest difficulty setting, and even there they put the Captain into last chance mode where any additional hit is lethal.

* MasterOfAll: Highwayman Enforcers are the real deal. They have more health than any other human enemy, the sight range of a sniper, [[SmokeOut smoke grenades]] to cover their advance or retreat, access to the entire range of weaponry, a powerful HealingFactor, and helmets to prevent a OneHitKill without AP ammo. Long story short: these guys should always be your priority targets whenever they appear.

* MalevolentMaskedMen: One of the Guns For Hire is "The Judge", a New Eden cultist who serves as Ethan's enforcer who is completely mute and only wears a mask. [[spoiler:It's confirmed in-game by numerous characters that The Judge is the Deputy from ''5'' after having been successfully brainwashed by Joseph Seed.]]

* ArmorPiercingAttack: Piercing ammo rips straight through Brawler shields and helmets, making it borderline mandatory for sniper rifles once the Highwaymen start fielding their [[ELiteMooks Level III troops]].

* ShoutOut: Hurk mentions in a conversation with Gina that he named their child "Blade" after [[ComicBook/{{Blade}} the comic book character.]]

* TheStraightAndArrowPath: New Eden live a deliberately low-tech lifestyle, eschewing firearms and relying on bows and arrows as their main weapons.

* DoubleJump: After eating the Fruit of Eden, one of the abilities the Captain can get is this, which is called the [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Leap of Faith]].

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: A minor complaint regarding [[VideoGame/FarCry5 the last game]] was that none of the [[AttackAnimal Fangs for Hire]] could ride in a car with you. Not so in this game; the new Fangs, [[RightHandAttackDog Timber the Akita]] and [[FullBoarAction Horatio the boar]] can ride with you.

* RealMenEatMeat: One note left by a Highwayman is about making sure no vegetables are anywhere near the feast the high command is having and goes on a rant about how they only eat meat since they are badasses. The animal companions are also saved from being slaughtered for meat. Their mindset is at least partially justified; numerous Highwaymen complain that it takes a ''lot'' of vegetables to make enough Ethanol for all of their vehicles, meaning that they see Highwaymen who eat vegetables are taking away from the fuel supply.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The Highwaymen are defeated and New Eden has been disbanded, plus Joseph is either dead or being forced to live with the guilt of his actions, but Rush is dead and society will have to go on without him.]]

* FallenHero: [[spoiler:The Gun For Hire known only as "The Judge" is the Junior Deputy from ''5'' after being brainwashed by Joseph sometime after the 'Resist' ending of the previous game.]]

* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Joseph Seed considers the protagonist shooting him to be this, and even [[ICannotSelfTerminate asks for God's justice]].]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:In the finale it's made clear that a civilized, non-psychopath like you would've never had the strength to overcome the Twins and their [[ThePowerOfHate Power of Hate]] if not for the PowerBornOfMadness that Joseph Seed bestowed upon you as his own warped way of atoning for all the trouble he's caused.]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:The scene where the Captain suddenly breaks out of the Twins' handcuffs and proceeds to beat ''the everloving shit out of them'' is a small series of three for them. Starting with the Captain shredding the handcuffs like balsa wood, then when they ''catch'' Lou's helmet and begin ''crushing it with their bare hands'' before flinging her against the wall and kicking her around until Mickey blasts the Captain [[DestinationDefenestration out a window,]] and the third being a quieter, more grim one when they suspect that the Captain's newfound powers likely came from New Eden, who are pretty much [[TheDreaded bogeymen]] for the local Highwaymen chapter.]]

** [[spoiler:There are only a handful of survivors from Far Cry 5. The only confirmed survivors are Nick & Kim Rye, as well as their daughter Carmina Rye. Others like Hurk and Sharkey were able to survive, and finally Grace Armstrong (albeit blinded by the nukes) and Pastor Jerome.]]
** [[spoiler:The others are unaccounted for. Since 17 years have passed, Boomer and the other Fangs for Hire are certainly dead, having died of either old age or from the blast itself. Adelaide actually left Hope County with Xander to find a "sex resort island" near Cuba. The only specialist left unaccounted for is Jess Black, who would be 44 by the events of the game if she survived.]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:"Yeah, you might be New Eden's Judge and all, but I know deep down there's still something left of that deputy I heard so much about."]]
