In the Far Cry 5 mission "Call of the Wild", players will need to find and destroy all of the Wolf Beacons in the picturesque Whitetail Mountains. Doing so will result in the reward of 200 reputation and $1,600 in cash. The reputation points will help gamers progress in the Jacob Seed storyline.
To get the mission, people will need to finish the Tammy Barnes mission called "Radio Silence". On completion, Tammy will request help with the Wolf Beacons. She will first order the destruction of four, and later, six, for a total of ten beacons. There are a few different ways to remove the beacons, but pretty much any method will work. Below, players can find all of the Wolf Beacon locations, as well as a few tips to finish the mission efficiently
Updated on July 24, 2021 by Payton Lott: Using a plane or attack helicopter is the fastest way to destroy all of the Wolf Beacons. Anyone having trouble getting either of these vehicles will find a short guide at the end of this article. Both can be purchased from outposts, but there are ways to pick them up without spending a penny. These vehicles are quite expensive, so it will be beneficial to use the cheap option early in the game. To get a free plane or chopper, players will simply have to complete missions in the storyline. Information about these missions and their locations is included below.
Finding The Beacons
One way to finish the missions swiftly is to roam the mountains at night in an attack helicopter. The Wolf Beacons emit a light that is easy to spot while in the air and can be destroyed with a mounted machine gun or missiles from above.
To destroy the beacon, players will need to aim at the base of each tower. In just a few minutes, all of the beacons will be destroyed and gamers can move past the filler location quest.
All Of The Beacon Locations
The ten Wolf Beacon locations are all located in Jacob's territory in the Whitetail Mountains. Anyone that does not want to use the helicopter method can simply walk on foot and destroy each one. All of the locations are included below and in the picture above.
First 4
- North of Cedar Lake
- North of Wishbone Lake
- Northwest of Langford Lake
- West of Langford Lake
Final 6
- North of Grand View Hotel
- Northeast of Pin-K0 Cult Outpost
- Northeast of FANG Center
- Southwest of Cooper Cabin
- Southwest of FANG Center
- West of North Park Entrance
If these descriptions are not detailed enough, travel to the locations at night when the beacons shine bright red from quite far away. For the beacon indicator to pop up on the map, gamers will need to be close enough to it. The indicators are black with a white explosion icon in the center.
Travel to each Wolf Beacon and destroy it by whatever method is preferred. Obviously, using the helicopter is much safer and easier, as there will be a couple of enemies guarding each beacon that need to be killed when on foot.
How To Get An Attack Helicopter
Gamers can buy an attack helicopter from any of the liberated outposts. The shop is located on a telephone pole near the outpost. It will be denoted by a yellow box affixed to the telephone pole. At these buy stations, players will have access to seven different attack helicopter models. Each ranges from $2,400 to $7,200. There is also a way to pick up a free attack helicopter using the methods below.
Free Attack Helicopter
To get the free helicopter, people will want to travel to Drubman Marina on the east side of the map. First, the cult outpost will need to be cleared. Once the cult is pushed out, talk to the female NPC on the docks. She will initiate the Friendly Skies mission.
Upon completion, gamers will find out that her name is Adelaide Drubman. She can be added as a specialist following the quest. One of her specialties is providing a support chopper. To get her to bring the chopper down, press left on the D-pad in an open area. Unfortunately, she will need to be killed to get in the chopper.
How To Get A Free Plane
Just like the helicopters, players will be able to shop for planes by liberating an outpost. Specifically, Rye & Sons Aviation in Holland Valley. Players will encounter a man named Nick Rye after they arrive at Rye & Sons. Eden's Gate will be patrolling the area after they forced Nick and his wife out.
If someone wants, they can just steal the plane from the hangar. However, this will cause problems with the quest unless the game is restarted. Help Nick and his wife and the plane will be yours. Also, the store will be available once they are safe.
