* The Hope County Cougars, a sports team who have turned into a resistance movement against the militants occupying the county, are likely a nod to the Wolverines in ''Film/RedDawn''. They may also be a reference to the Hope County Cougars in ''VideoGame/HitmanAbsolution''.

* ANNE's {{Killer Robot}}s look very similar to the Tet drones from ''Film/{{Oblivion}}''. If ANNE's drones were completely spherical and had four guns instead of just one, they'd be virtually identical.

** In his final dialogue, [[spoiler: the dying John Seed]] uses the phrase "Look at how fucked things are... look at who's in charge..." as evidence that Joseph is right and the world really is coming to an end. In charge of ''what'' is left ambiguous, but the implication that he is discussing Trump is... pretty blatant.

!!Shoutouts in ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' and its associated DLC:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Main Game]]
* Casey Seagal, the saloon's cook, is a reference to Casey Ryback played by Creator/StevenSeagal in ''Film/UnderSiege''.
* The farm with the CropCircles and [[AliensStealCattle mutilated cows]] is Bradbury Farm, after science fiction writer Creator/RayBradbury.
* The "Getaway" clothes are styled after the IconicOutfit worn by [[Film/{{Drive}} The Driver]].
* An answering machine in one of the homes in Fall’s End has a message from a survivalist named Burt talking about how he and his wife were moving to get away from the cult to a quiet desert valley down south. [[Film/{{Tremors}} It doesn’t end well]].
* Many weapon descriptions are movie and television shout-outs:
** The flavor text of the M60 machine gun states the instructions to use it are "[[Franchise/{{Rambo}} apply red bandana, pull trigger, yell.]]"
** The recurve bow is another one to ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII''.
** The descriptions of the .44 Magnum L and its Prestige model, the Cannon, pay homage to the ''Film/DirtyHarry'' movies.
** The D2 sawed-off shotgun references ''Film/MadMax''.
** The 45/70 rifle is one to ''Film/CabinInTheWoods''.
** The A99 description mentions how it was used in ''Series/MiamiVice''.
* For all of Ubisoft's talk about not taking a stance on contemporary politics, they did give the county's most over-the-top right wing politician wannabe a mission called [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump Make Hope Great Again]]. It's about shooting lots of people that won't vote for the guy. Make of that what you will.
** There's also the description of the medkit that lets you decide whether [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama healthcare should be mandatory or optional]].
** The description of the Burned Meat item, obtained by killing an animal by setting it on fire, says "smother it in ketchup and it makes a meal fit for a president."
** One of the idle chatters from random Guns For Hire is that prior to the events of the game, the worst thing they had to worry about was the president starting a nuclear war on social media.
** Willis is searching for a VHS tape that has blackmail implications for the President. His dialogue implies that it might be the infamous "pee tape", in which Trump allegedly hired people to pee onto a bed Obama once used in Russia, which may or may not exist.
* Flavor text for the wolverine advises you to MakeSureHesDead because the bastard [[Franchise/XMen has a habit of regenerating]].
* The "The Hurk Locker" achievement is obviously one to ''Film/TheHurtLocker''.
* The Master Blaster perk is another shout-out to Mad Max, specifically to ''Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome''.
* The description for crafting liquor states that it is "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons The cause and solution to many, many, many problems]]."
* The Widowmaker's paint job is highly reminiscent of Optimus Prime from the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movies.
** Some Hired Guns will say "[[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Transform and roll out!]]" while entering a car or truck.
* The final journal entry by Dr. Sarah Perkins mentions that she's going to "[[Film/{{The Martian}} science the shit out]]" of the Judges.
* A sewer outlet has a red balloon floating by it, in reference to ''Literature/{{IT}}''.
** Another red balloon can be found inside a haunted house, next to a phone with an extremely Pennywise-sounding laugh left on the answering machine message.
* The description of the Alpha Black Bear Skin says "practice your Welsh accent and [[Series/GameOfThrones prepare for winter]]."
* The Alpha Boar Skin's description is a reference to ''Literature/LordOfTheFlies''.
* Both the Alpha Skunk and Hare skin descripsions are references to ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.
* Some of the Post-It notes scattered around read, "[[VideoGame/{{TheLegendofZelda|I}} It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!]]"
* The Hope County Cougars, a sports team who have turned into a resistance movement against the militants occupying the county, are likely a nod to the Wolverines in ''Film/RedDawn''. They may also be a reference to the Hope County Cougars in ''VideoGame/HitmanAbsolution''.
* The music that plays over the credits in the [[spoiler:Resist]] ending is [[Film/DrStrangelove "We'll Meet Again"]].

* In a room deep below a plantation house there is a bed frame pushed up against the wall with hand cuffs hanging from it like the torture scene in ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII''.
* One of Wendell's squadmates is called [[Film/FullMetalJacket Joker.]]

[[folder:''Lost on Mars'']]
* The resident {{EMP}} grenade goes by the name of [[VideoGame/SystemShock System Shocker]].
* Might be coincidental, but the very first Arachnid unit type you encounter shares a lot of similarities, both visually and mechanically, with the Aliens' anti-air unit from ''VideoGame/Earth2160''.
* Hurk mentions looking forward to watching Creator/{{Netflix}} when he's back home.
* ANNE's {{Killer Robot}}s look very similar to the Tet drones from ''Film/{{Oblivion}}''. If ANNE's drones were completely spherical and had four guns instead of just one, they'd be virtually identical.
