What's up guys rogue nine here a new club challenge is active in Far Cry 5 right now
And all you need to do to participate is to kill ten judges or wild wolves with a bow until the 8th of May
make sure to collect their collars and
Yes in Far Cry 5 even the wild wolves will wear collars as long as you shoot them with a bow of course and once
You've done that you will unlock the glorious shovel launcher
It may look just like the RPG 7 that's already in the game, but with slightly less damage and range
But the in-game description assures us that it is a groundbreaking miracle of modern engineering
Get it
Groundbreaking funny stuff, but let's go see it in action
Yep, it's a shovel launcher alright
Boy oh boy will it launch those shovels, that's quite impressive
Oh and look at that these shots are even reusable the only thing to keep in mind though
Is that these shovels have to be specially modified to fit into the launcher?
So you won't be able to just pick up any old shovel off of the map
Instead if you ever lose any of your shovels. You'll have to rebuy them from the shop for $60 a pop
That's not really all that expensive
but it is kind of
Inconvenient gathering up and reusing your shovels is going to be an important part of playing this weapon because if you're not careful
You're gonna run out within a single
firefight the iron sights on the gun are these
Standard iron sights you'll get on the rocket launcher as well and while they work for close range trying to use them at longer distances
is going to be challenging add to this the fact that you have to take into account a
significant ballistic curve
And the shovel launcher becomes more of a close ranged weapon could you use it at long-range if you wanted to?
Yes, absolutely look what happens when I fire it off into the sky at first
I thought it was gone for good
But after a flight time of 16 and a half seconds the shovel actually came back down to earth
So I guess yes in theory you could use this weapon at incredible ranges
But good luck with that. The good news is though that this gun is incredibly powerful.
Even heavily armored opponents are taken out in a single shot
And that's at least something so basically what you have with the shovel launcher is an incredibly powerful incredibly slow firing
Close ranged loud weapon if you want to take an outpost by stealth this weapon is
Seriously, not the one to use if you're trying to deal with the vehicle
It's also not that great
Taking out the driver will be impossible as long as the windshield is still intact because the shovel will simply bounce off
Taking out the wheels is possible
But it will take three shots in total to a single wheel not really very
Practical if you're trying to stop someone from getting away or running you over for that matter
And to top it all off if you do manage to shoot inside a vehicle you may well end up losing your precious
shovel because you can't get it back even after the vehicle is destroyed and
even if you hit your target
Retrieving your shovels can be challenging the weapon is so powerful that it will knock your enemies back dozens of yards
That's tens of meters of course for anyone who's more used to the metric system
Can you check out this situation right my opponent was somewhere around here?
And I shot from the barn and look look where he ended up
I mean finding an
Individual opponent like this is not that hard
You just need to follow the line of sight you had on him and eventually you'll find him somewhere
So in summary is the shovel launcher a practical weapon no
No, it isn't is it an effective weapon yes
It absolutely can be is it a ton of fun
Hell yeah, it is and I would gladly sacrifice one of my three weapon slots to bring this ridiculous
But super entertaining weapon with me any time
but that's already all the
information I can really give you about this gun I can only recommend that you go out and shoot those 10 wolves with arrows to
Get the weapon for yourself. I really do hope that this ridiculous
Weapon is a sign of things to come in future and I can't wait to see what silly
Shenanigans the DLC packs will bring so with that. I would say thank you for watching
I hope you enjoyed the video, and I will see you in the next episode
