How to unlock more weapon slots in Far Cry 5
You start out Far Cry 5, once the game kicks off properly, able to carry two firearms, a bunch of melee weapons, and a selection of throwables. While you’re absolutely still a force if you balance your loadout, you have to make sacrifices.
Most will probably spend the first chunk of the game with a silenced pistol – good for stealth and when in a pinch – and an assault rifle, which works in most situations. Still, you’ll be itching to carry an explosive weapon and a long-range rifle. That’s why you will want to unlock the other two weapon slots as soon as possible.
To unlock the third weapon slot, you will simply need to buy the perk. It costs eight perk points. See our perk points guide for tips on how to bag those.
For the fourth, you will need to have a confrontation with one of the Seeds – one of the cult leaders dotted around Montana. The first you will likely encounter once leaving the tutorial island is John Seed. He lords over Holland Valley, his catchphrase, ‘Yes’, erected on a distant hillside like a messed up Hollywood sign.
You need to fill up John Seed’s progress bar to face off with him. Do this by completing missions, side quests, freeing civilians, liberating compounds, blowing up cult property, and killing cult VIPs. Every third of the bar will trigger a story mission.

How To Unlock Weapon Slots In Far Cry 4
To switch between weapons that you currently carry and the Throwables you use, open the Weapons Wheel (L1 on PS4 / Xbox One, Q on keyboard). This will show you the weapons you have on you. Select a different weapon from the Wheel to switch weapons.
You can also switch weapons by picking up a weapon you might find in the game world. This will replace the weapon you are using with the one you are picking up.
If you'd like to change your loadout, you can visit any shop that sells weapons. Weapons you have previously unlocked by fulfilling the corresponding requirement will be available to pick up from a shop for free at any time. If you do, you can choose a slot for them on your Weapons Wheel.
To unlock additional slots in your Weapons Wheel, consider unlocking the Perks Additional Holster and Weapons Collector - they allow you to carry one additional weapon each that can be selected through your Weapons Wheel.
Sometimes, you might find weapons in-game that you have not unlocked yet. In that case, you can use the weapon as long as you have it equipped in your Weapons Wheel. If you lose it at some point, it will not be available in the shop until you fulfill the unlock requirements.
If you decide to customise your weapon with a skin or attachments like scopes, suppressors or magazines, they will stay attached to the weapon until you decide to replace them. If you pick up the weapon again from a shop, you will receive it complete with the attachments you chose.
