How to Craft Homeopathics in Far Cry 5

You might not be aware of this as Far Cry 5 does a pretty terrible job of explaining it, but you can craft and use four homeopathic remedies. Using these gives your character a temporary boost in a certain area or gives a short-lived new ability. We've detailed the four below. You can access these from page 2 of the weapon wheel, each needing a bunch of ingredients to craft.

The Furious

  • Increases melee attack damage for a limited time
  • 2x Bliss Oil
  • 2x Prairie Fire

The Fast

  • Increases your speed for a limited time.
  • 2x Bliss Oil
  • 2x Jimson Weed

Ultimate Hunter

  • Automatically tag all animals and enemies in your sight and make the predator flee.
  • 2x Prairie Fire
  • 2x Mustard
  • 2x Jimson Weed

Ultimate Survivor

  • Reduce considerably the damage you take.
  • 2x Lupine
  • 2x Prickly Lettuce
  • 2x Bliss Oil

You can also craft liquor and 'oregano', each giving you temporary innebreation. You can craft them from the same menu as the homeopathics, but each only takes one item (liquor or oregano) to craft.

Can you Craft Medkits in Far Cry 5?

It's pretty easy to take a lot of damage in Far Cry 5, so you'll be wanting to make use of medkits. With that being said, you'd assume you're able to craft medkits in Far Cry 5, but you can't. It's not possible to craft medkits in Far Cry 5, which is pretty bizarre. Medkits can be bought from shops/sellers, or found lying around in the game world, but can't be crafted.

That's all the info we've got on crafting explosives and homeopathics in Far Cry 5. Head elsewhere for info on how to recruit boomer the dog, and how to find all the Prepper Stash locations in Far Cry 5.
