Quick Scoop

  • The real-world inspiration is Montana.
  • The in-game location is Hope County , which is fictional.

In-game setting

Hope County is not a real county; it’s a made-up place designed for the game.

That’s why people often say Far Cry 5 is “set in Montana,” even though the exact county does not exist.
