And the fourth tier lets you tag enemies through walls. The third tier adds the ability to auto-detect and tag enemies nearest you. Second tier makes you quieter when moving and reduces fall damage. With the first tier, you get adrenaline for faster movement while crouched. It’s called Survival Instinct, and across four stealth kills you can build it up where it can give you different benefits. The perk system has been gutted and reduced down to something more simplistic and in-tone with this side story. This DLC, like the main game can be played in co-op which is something that you wouldn’t expect this to do, especially with its survival elements. Exploration and doing the most you can helps you uncover more of the map and all that’s offered here.
As you complete challenges, you’ll receive intel that puts points of interest on the map. You’re given a map from the outset, but everything is covered in a fog of war. Everything is spread out, which helps in the feeling of being lost in a jungle. The Hours of Darkness DLC takes place on a rather large map, but not with many places to visit. You only get three weapon slots, so it is imperative you pick your weapons wisely as you work your way through the jungle. The latter weapons have suppressed variants that can maintain silence and stealth. You’ll find Vietnam War-era weapons like AK47 rifles, M16 assault rifles, M1911 pistols, and SVD Dragunov sniper rifles. Hours of Darkness is jungle warfare, with a focus on stealth. You’re left with nothing, and must make your way to the other side of the jungle towards your extraction. Your helicopter crashes into the Vietnamese jungle, and your squad has been taken and the rest are dead. This is definitely not the goofy faux-futuristic Blood Dragon of Far Cry 3 or even the slightly serious Valley of the Yetis of Far Cry 4. Hours of Darkness is a more serious take for Far Cry DLC.
It straddles a line of just being ‘okay’, and that’s okay. Now, Hours of Darkness isn’t anything to write home about, though it’s not a “Dear John” letter either. Those events are rather unsettling at times, but mostly forgettable. While the events of this DLC doesn’t directly correlate to the main game, it does take one of Hope County’s residents, Wendell Redler as he recollects the events of his time in Vietnam. Hours of Darkness is the first DLC for Far Cry 5, going into the past during the Vietnam War via a standalone story.
