Far Cry 5: All lighters and their locations

In the open world of Far Cry 5, there are not only all kinds of safes that want to be cracked by you - there are also lighters scattered around Hope County.

If you want to play through the first-person shooter one hundred percent and make use of Wendell Redler's arsenal of weapons, you'll have to collect them all.

Before we start with this guide, we'll give you some tips for earning quick money and show you an overview of all the endings (including explanations).

Accept lighter quest

In order for Rookie to even know about the lighters in Far Cry 5, you'll need to pay Wendell Redlers a visit. You can find his cottage in Holland Valley in the east of Fall's End. The exact location is shown in the screenshot below.

Talk to him and he will tell you about the "Freedom Fund". He created this collection of weapons together with other Vietnam veterans for defense purposes. This is how the side mission called "What They Brought With Them" starts, which first sends you on a search for twelve of these finds before Wendell provides you with this equipment.

Your next stop is Fall's End. In the store there - or any other store in Far Cry 5 - buy the card of Wendell's Vietnam lighters for the price of $1,200. From now on, all locations on the map will be marked with a lighter icon.

Finding lighters in Far Cry 5

The lighters are distributed relatively evenly among the regions controlled by Joseph Seed's lieutenants. Four of them can be found in Jacob's area, four in Faith's area and four in John's realm. You will then find their locations sorted by region.

Lighters in Jacob's region

Smiley's lighter

Go to the Whitetail Park Visitor Center. Head for the information center, walk towards the flags with the Eden's Gate symbol, then make a sharp turn to the left.

This find is on the shelf just below the painted piece of wood that has a moose on it.

Standford's Lighter

South of the F.A.N.G. center, more precisely in the bunker of the preppers "The Refusers", your little treasure hunt in Far Cry 5 continues.

Get inside through the small shed on this area and find the lighter on the right behind the big steel door.

Lefty's lighter

Northeast of Langford Lake the next lighter is waiting for you. Your landmark is a small shack with a bunker door set into the ground next to it.

Enter, trudge through a few pools of blood in its back and grab the nearest lighter. It's next to a small TV that's under a bulletin board.

Joe's Lighter

Before you can get your hands on this lighter, you'll first have to use your climbing hook - which, by the way, is one of the skills in Far Cry 5 that we recommend unlocking at the very beginning.

Look northwest of the F.A.N.G. center and near Cedar Lake for blue ropes. After a refreshing climb, you'll come to a sort of hunter's high seat.

Just in front of it, a bunker door provides access to a shelter. In room two, Joe's lighter lies on a shelf.

Lighters in Faith's region

Crow's lighter

Let's go to the Abercrombie house, which is located just east of the Hope County jail. In Far Cry 5, run past the doghouse that stands on the side of the building and step through the recess in the white board wall.

Then keep sharp right to come across a bunker door. You will then find the lighter without any problems in the second room on the shelf to the left of the TV.

Kev's lighter

New bunker, new lighter - this time at the southern foot of Angel's Peak, near Sacred Skies Lake. First look for a wooden house on a hill, go to its back and crawl inside. On the left side of the second room is a shelf, the contents of which will make you richer by one find.

Tim's Lighter

Between Silver Lake and the Hope County taxidermy, it's worth exploring for lighter collectors. A sign with both a corpse and an Eden's Gate flag hanging from it is your first clue.

Run past it and towards the crate behind it. Voilà, another bunker hatch! In the crowded second room pick up the desired object on the right.

Russel's Lighter

The bunker door you're looking for is behind a house between Rae-Rae's Pumpkin Farm and Angel's Peak. It's built of reddish-brown wood, with piles of bulky waste stacked in front of it.

Thanks to a short sprint across the yard, you'll come to a green bunker door. The third room houses a new lighter, it's lying on the flatbed against the right wall.

Lighters in John's area

Woody's lighter

Next, seek out Rae Rae's Pumpkin Farm, where you probably freed your four-legged companion Boomer at the beginning of Far Cry 5.

At the back of the building, still behind the fence line, you'll once again find a bunker door. Go down and bag the lighter there, it's lying on a red chair next to one of the bunk beds.

Danny's Lighter

Southwest of Rae Raes Pumpkin Farm after that you can find a lighter. Travel to the mark on the map and look for a shed again, it hides the entrance to the underground bunker.

Climb down, leave the first room behind and take a close look at the shelf on the left side of the next room. There lies Danny's lighter.

Dusty's Lighter

The area around Orville Creek is the next place to go. Next to the garden of the house there's a white shelter, to the left of it there's another bunker door.

Once you're in the shelter, you'll have to look a little closer in Far Cry 5 - there's quite a bit of disorder here. Run into the room with the beds and look at the head of the left sleeping places, there is a lighter on the floor.

Dom's lighter

Just a stone's throw away - closer to the Dead Man's River in Hope County - you've reached another stop on your lighter search.

Next to a burned-out shack, a floor hatch will lead you back into an underground shelter. You don't need to snoop around in the first room, the find is placed on the black shelf on the left side of the second room.

Reward of the lighter quest

Now that you have collected all the lighters in Far Cry 5, make your way back to Wendell Redlers, who has settled in Holland Valley east of Fall's End

Talk to him to complete the side mission "What they had with them". He will then grant you access to the promised arsenal of weapons.

Run to the shed in Wendell's yard, deactivate the door lock and stuff your pockets.
