Buy it used or GOTY. Better yet don't buy this microcrapactions grindfest period.
Far Cry 5‘s mission structure isn’t perfect, however. Players have to earn a certain number of “resistance points” to unlock the final story mission in each section of the map, and sometimes this requires grinding repetitive tasks like blowing up cult property or rescuing hostages. While many of the side missions are meaningful and have a lot of substance to them, some of them also require players to do repetitive and boring things, like fetch quests or destroying vehicles.
This repetitiveness is sometimes an issue in the main story as well. There are multiple missions that require players to steal a truck for another character and deliver it back to them, and liberating outposts can sometimes feel like busywork, as they all boil down to the same basic strategy. The main story is also derailed on numerous occasions by short sections where players are captured by the villains, and while this doesn’t seem like a big deal, it happens so much that it becomes almost comical, and sometimes it can interrupt the player in the middle of a mission. Generous checkpoints make this less of an issue, but it still slows player momentum.

Anything past 3 is kinda boring and is incredibly geared towards completion game play. Wait until it's on sale or pirate(or find a cheap console copy used). You'll find it's just rinse and repeat missions with some annoying attempts at RPG mechanics.
