How to get Timber the Dog in Far Cry New Dawn
It’s back to Hope County for another round of action-packed debauchery, though this time it looks a little different. Here’s everything you’ll need to survive the post-apocalyptic wastelands of Far Cry New Dawn.
There’s no better video game companion than a dog, and in that respect Far Cry New Dawn delivers in spades. The dog in question is called Timber, and he’s a resourceful little feller. He’ll sniff out enemies and loot, pull weapons and shields from foes, and outright kill those who stand in your way. You’ll need to recruit him first though, so in this Far Cry New Dawn Timber Guide, we’ll show you how to do so.
Far Cry New Dawn - How to Get the Dog
The very best companion in Far Cry New Dawn is a trusty pup named Timber. You’ll need to rescue him first, from Highwaymen who intend to serve him up on a platter. Here’s how to get Timber the dog in Far Cry New Dawn.
Far Cry New Dawn Man Eat Dog Mission
You’ll need to liberate a couple of Outposts to get this mission. We were given it by an NPC at Broken Forge after liberating it. You’ll need to head to the location highlighted on your map and kill the Highwaymen there.
Head into the compound to free Timber. He will help you fight, and will also point out the way forward. The next mission is to free the rest of the dogs, for which you’ll need a key. Follow Timber!
Timber will lead you to platforming points, all the way up until you get the kennel key. Once you have it, go and free the dogs. Timber will now be your companion.
