How to unlock Boomer, Peaches and Cheeseburger As soon as you've unlocked three of the game's nine mercenaries for hire (sadly, only three are animals), you'll unlock the "Leadership" perk, which lets you have two (but sadly, only two) of them join you on your adventure at once. We're glad you asked - yes you can! And the best bit is, all you need to do is unlock all three animals first.īoomer, Cheeseburger and Peaches all technically operate in game as "fangs for hire", working as a kind of mercenary companion. As Far Cry 5's battles can be pretty challenging at the best of times, there may be moments where you simply cannot reach Boomer, Peaches or Cheeseburger in time - and despite his timer giving you a good 30-60 seconds to get there, sometimes, it just isn't enough.ġ5 minutes is your punishment for not looking after your pets Can I have more than one animal on my team at a time? Get to them in time, and you can revive them - but if you don't, they'll be gone. If they take too much damage, the poor little chaps will collapse on the ground with a whimper, and lie there panting heavily, with a countdown timer above their head. If they follow you through a field of explosions and flames, they can even catch fire (luckily, someone's taught them to stop, drop and roll). If your animal pal gets shot, ends up being attacked by a wild animal, or gets run over by your car (it can happen), they will take damage.


Nor are Peaches or Cheeseburger, although the amount of damage they can take varies wildly from beast to beast. While Boomer is a pretty resilient little pup, he's not completely indestructible. All of which raises the very important question: Can Boomer the dog, Cheseburger the bear, or Peaches the cougar die?
