Far Cry New Dawn has entered the post-apocalypse, and with a brand new change of scenery and a bucket of radiation come our Far Cry New Dawn tips that you’ll need to make mincemeat out of the Highwaymen and turn Prosperity into a beacon in the trashfire world of Hope County. As well as the bright pink flowers scattered across the landscape there are a fair few alterations to the typical survivalist formula: Outposts can be levelled up; you’ve got a base to upgrade; and now enemies have levels so you can decide whether to run away or go in all guns blazing.

If you think of resources in Far Cry New Dawn as if they were part of a tree, ethanol would be the trunk. It is the one thing that players must acquire if they hope to upgrade their situation in Prosperity, including gaining the ability to craft new and more powerful weapons. There are only a few ways to earn ethanol in Far Cry New Dawn, and we’ve compiled a list of those methods so you don’t miss out.

The best way to get a ton of Ethanol is to liberate Outposts. There are ten in total in Far Cry New Dawn, each awarding Ethanol upon completion. You’ll need to eliminate all of the enemies in each Outpost, and you’ll get bonus Ethanol for doing so without being detected, and for not triggering any alarms. This method will yield you more than enough Ethanol to tide you over, especially if you use the Scavenging method.

The second and third methods to getting Ethanol are less reliable and more opportunistic. The easier of these is to find Ethanol in Supply Drops. Now and then, you may come across a Supply Drop being dropped from the skies over Hope County. These crates are covered with yellow tarpaulins and release bright yellow smoke, making them easy to spot. A small number of Highwaymen will usually spawn and guard the drop if you don’t get there quickly. The loot found inside a supply drop is random, but it can include between 35 and 40 Ethanol. As such, this isn’t a reliable method to farm Ethanol, but it doesn’t hurt to go out of your way whenever you see a drop.

For example, rather than spending Ethanol on the Cartography Facility to unlock access to Treasure Maps, upgrade your Workbench, Infirmary, and Training Camp to rank up your weapons, health, and Guns for Hire, which in turn will give you the tools you need to liberate level 3 Outposts for even more Ethanol. You get the idea. You will need to upgrade every Homebase Facility at certain parts of the campaign to unlock access to new chapters in the story, but you’re otherwise free to spend the Ethanol how you wish.
Far Cry New Dawn feels a bit empty compared to Far Cry 5, even though the two basically share the same map. It makes long-distance journeys a bit boring as the game progresses, unless you’re overly excited by the occasional run in with the Highwaymen, or an animal that takes as much damage as a bullet-sponge boss. Fast travel is a way to skip right to the good stuff, but it’s not exactly an open and accessible system right away.

One of those missions that some who got to preview the game saw put players aboard a huge aircraft carrier called the H.M.S. MacCoubrey which is docked on the coast of Florida, and that’s the exact mission that the PlayStation Underground video above starts out with. The ship is filled with enemies and players have to retrieve a package from it, but it’s up to them weather they want to go about that stealthily or fight their way into the belly of the ship with explosions and guns blazing.

These expedition locations include a Louisana swamp that has taken over a fictional theme park, a decrepit Navajo Bridge littered with abandoned cars in Arizona, and the infamous Alcatraz prison situated on a rocky island. Within them, players must infiltrate an enemy base and steal a package of rare loot. This is where guns for hire abilities come in handy, as characters like Nana can quietly stealth-kill enemies from afar to clear a path. Once players secure the package, however, the enemies will zero in on the player’s location. This means it’ll be a guns-blazing exit for each expedition, with the player forced to evacuate to the extraction zone for a helicopter pickup.

The new feature, Expeditions changes all of that. To launch an expedition you head to your local travel agent in the camp. By travel agent I mean the completely insane Canadian from Quebec. From there you choose your first expedition, which is an assault on an aircraft carrier docked next to a cliff-top far away from Hope County. This little detail opens up a world of opportunities for the developers as not only are they no longer restricted to creating experience in Hope County but now they are also able to fine tune the experiences in these smaller settings. Adding the ability to improve the visuals, add more enemies and increase the action on all counts.

Once you return to Prosperity, you’ll be rewarded with a huge cache of resources for your efforts. You’ll also unlock the next Expedition. What’s more, you can actually choose to replay Expeditions, in a similar manner to “Scavenging” Outposts. The next time you go on that Expedition, the Highwaymen will have moved back in. The rewards will be greater, but the enemies you’ll face will be more numerous and higher tier.
