How to get Boomer the Dog in Far Cry 5
If you're keen to recruit Boomer the dog to your team of specialists in Far Cry 5, the good news is that he's one of the easiest to get. Fist head northeast of Fall's End in John's region to the Pumpkin farm (which you can see on the map below).
When you arrive you'll need to take out all the cultists on the farm. This isn't an especially hard fight, so just blast them with whatever weapons you're carrying at the time. Once all the cultists have been dealt with you can search for Boomer the dog.
Head over the quest marker location and you'll find Boomer, injured and lying on the floor. The good news is that he can be revived like you revive any fallen teammate, so interact with him and he'll perk up. He'll immediately run off and find his owners, who have sadly been massacred by the cultists. Comfort Boomer with a pat on the head and he'll soon become your friend.
