Far Cry 5 100% Save File
Far Cry 5
Quick Setup: How to Install This Save
Step 1
Close Far Cry 5 and Ubisoft Connect fully — right-click the Ubisoft Connect icon in the system tray and click Quit. If cloud sync is running when you paste the file, it will overwrite the new save with your old one.
Step 2
Open %localappdata%\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[Your Ubisoft UID]\756\ in File Explorer. Paste the downloaded savegame file here, replacing the existing one if prompted.
Step 3
Reopen Ubisoft Connect, launch Far Cry 5, and load the save from the main menu. You should spawn in Hope County with the full map unlocked and all story content showing as complete in the pause menu progress tracker.
PC Save File Destination Location
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[Your Ubisoft UID]\756The save folder is inside AppData, which Windows hides by default. To get there, open File Explorer and type %localappdata%\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\ directly into the address bar and hit Enter. You'll see a folder named with a long number — that's your Ubisoft account UID. Open it, then open the folder named 756 — that's Far Cry 5's game ID. Before you do anything, close Far Cry 5 completely and sign out of or fully close Ubisoft Connect. If Ubisoft Connect is running in the background with cloud sync active, it can overwrite the file you just placed with your old cloud save within seconds of you copying it in. The save file itself is named savegame with no extension. Don't rename it. If there's already a savegame file in the folder, that's your existing save — back it up before replacing it.
Save File Overview
Everything's done. The main story is cleared across all three regions — Dutch's Island, John's, Faith's, and Jacob's territories all liberated. Every cult outpost is taken, every resistance mission completed, and all three regional endings triggered before the final confrontation. You're not picking this up mid-grind. Money is maxed, which means every weapon in the game is already purchased and upgraded — including the Magnopulser, the Flamethrower, and the full arsenal of Guns for Hire. All perk points are spent across the board, so the full skill tree is open from the moment you load in. Prepper stash locations are all found and looted. Every fishing spot is unlocked, every hunting ground cleared, and the Clutch Nixon stunt missions are done. Players who want to drop into Hope County for free roam, hunting, or fishing without grinding through the story first will load into a fully open map with nothing blocking them. This save is on the latest patch of the Steam and Ubisoft Connect versions.
Version Compatibility Info
Version: PC — Steam and Ubisoft Connect (latest patch)
Progress: 100% Completed
File Size: 689 KB
This save works on the Steam and Ubisoft Connect PC versions of Far Cry 5 running the latest patch. Both storefronts use the same save format and folder path, so the file drops in the same location regardless of where you bought it. Far Cry 5 does not have expansion-specific save data baked into the main campaign save. The Hours of Darkness, Dead Living Zombies, and Lost on Mars DLC packs use a separate save slot system — this save doesn't include their completion, and you don't need any DLC installed for this main game save to load correctly. Older unpatched versions of Far Cry 5 used a slightly different save structure. If you're running a version from before the 1.011 patch, the file may throw a load error. Update the game through Steam or Ubisoft Connect before installing. The save will not work on console versions — Far Cry 5 doesn't support cross-platform save transfer.
Important Safety & Backup Advice
Before replacing anything, copy your existing savegame file from %localappdata%\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[Your Ubisoft UID]\756\ to a separate folder on your desktop. Rename the copy something like savegame_backup_original so you can restore it if needed. Cloud sync is the main risk here. Ubisoft Connect's cloud save feature will push your old save back down if it detects a conflict — it tends to favour the cloud version. To stop this, go to Ubisoft Connect → Settings → General → disable Cloud Save Synchronization before launching the game for the first time with the new save. You can re-enable it after the save loads correctly. No antivirus flags have been reported with Far Cry 5 save files. Mods that alter the economy or perk system won't conflict with this save file directly, but if you're running a vanilla-incompatible mod, test on a clean install first.
Common Questions & Answers
Does this save work on the Epic Games Store version of Far Cry 5?
Far Cry 5 isn't available on the Epic Games Store — it's exclusive to Steam and Ubisoft Connect on PC. Both of those use the same save folder path and file format, so this save works on either.
I pasted the file but the game shows my old progress or won't load the save.
Ubisoft Connect's cloud sync almost certainly pushed your old save back over it. Close the game and Ubisoft Connect completely, disable cloud sync in Ubisoft Connect settings, paste the file again, then relaunch. That sequence clears the conflict.
Are the Hours of Darkness, Dead Living Zombies, and Lost on Mars DLC completed in this save?
No. The DLC episodes run on separate save slots in Far Cry 5 — they're independent of the main campaign save. This file covers 100% of the base game only. You don't need the DLC installed for this save to load.
I'm running a perk or economy mod. Will this save conflict with it?
Mods that add perks or modify money values don't rewrite save data retroactively — they work on top of whatever save you load. This save already has max money and all perks, so most economy mods will have nothing meaningful to change. If a mod rewrites the save format directly (rare), test with vanilla first.
Can I keep playing freely after loading this save?
Yes. Loading a 100% save doesn't lock anything — you spawn into a fully open Hope County with the entire map accessible, all weapons in your loadout, and free roam completely open. The story is done but nothing stops you from replaying missions, hunting, fishing, or exploring.
Summary
This save drops you straight into a completed Hope County — full map, all outposts cleared, max money, every perk spent, every weapon owned. No story gates, no locked regions, nothing left to grind. Before you install it, back up your existing savegame file from the 756 folder and kill Ubisoft Connect's cloud sync. That two-step prevents 90% of issues. If the save doesn't show on the load screen, cloud sync has overwritten it — disable sync, paste the file again, relaunch. If something's still off after that, verify Far Cry 5's files through Steam or Ubisoft Connect to rule out a corrupted install before troubleshooting the save further.
