You can find Grace at Lamb of God Church and Nick at Rye & Sons Aviation.
Increase Your Weapon Slots: At the start of a game you are only allowed to carry 2 weapons, one is the main weapon which can be a rifle or a shotgun and second is a sidearm which can be a pistol. You can unlock an additional weapon slot through a perk. By paying 8 points you can increase your weapon capacity to 3, so you can add sniper rifle or assault rifle. There is also a perk that will unlock the fourth space, where you can keep rocket launcher or a grenade launcher or a machine gun. But you can get that later in the game.
Play Side Missions For Cash: Money is required to upgrade weapons, buy new items, in the game. And at the start, you won’t be getting much. But there is a way where you can gather a decent amount of money. You can start playing the side missions. The money earned by completed the mission can be used for buying new weapons, weapon attachments, special ammo, consumable, collectibles maps, etc. So having a good amount of cash is a necessary part of Far Cry 5. Keep finding up new side missions in the game and play them first before heading to the main story.
Important Perks: Once you have enough cash in your pocket you must activate a few perks as early as possible. These perks will help you a lot in various missions in Far Cry 5.

Making perk points is necessary as by unlocking new Perks you can do things faster in the game. For example, if you unlock Health Boost 1 and 2, you can get up to 200% more health. This means you won’t die soon. There are many perks that are very beneficial at the start. There are many challenges in Far Cry 5 like Hunting, Fishing, etc that give you reward in the form of perk points. You can later use them for upgrades.

There is an auto-drive mode available by turning this on you just have to steer and the car will follow the waypoint. Just add a mark on the map and start driving, whatever vehicle you are in will auto-drive to the location, you can then use your hands to shoot down the cultist who are blocking your path.
Ubisoft Club: Before start playing checkout Ubisoft Club once, there is a reward section where you can instantly get some fresh items for free. Using Club units you can also buy out new items. So it is a good idea to go through the section once a while.

Weapons Buying: Once you have enough money in your pocket look for a weapon dealer in the game. You can buy some really powerful weapons from them. Don’t buy common weapons you can get them by looting dead enemies, go for something you don’t have. There is a unique type of weapons available with various attachments to upgrade their strength. In the same way, you can also purchase vehicles.
Stealth Mode Brings Extra Bonus: In many mission, you will see on the top left of the screen if you play the objective without raising an alarm you can earn an extra bonus. So this is one good thing to practice, there are many ways you can take down enemies quietly. Keep a crossbow or a sniper rifle with you. Crossbows are good because they won’t make a sound. If you are using a weapon then add a silencer on it. Mark down all enemies location before entering, there are certain perks that can help you in stealth mode.
