Follow Willis Huntley in Far Cry 5's Patriot Acts mission. Secure the Lincoln Lookout Tower, tail a helicopter, and infiltrate a safehouse to retrieve a vital VHS tape.

Alright, so you've got a mission from a guy named Willis Huntley. He's a special agent, and he wants your help with something before he'll help you. Makes sense, right? He'll ask you to hop in his car and then you'll head towards the Lincoln Lookout Tower. Listen to Willis explain the plan on the drive over.

Once he stops the car, you'll need to go the rest of the way on foot to reach the tower. Get ready, because you've got a bunch of Cultists to deal with here.

Secure the Lookout Tower

Your main goal here is to clear out all the Cultists. Pay special attention to the two Marksman enemies up on the tower itself. A good way to start is by heading through the pipe in front of you – it'll get you closer to the enemies and give you a better angle. Once you're in position, start taking them out.

Now, Willis isn't exactly the quietest guy, so don't expect to pull off a full stealth takedown. He's pretty trigger-happy and will likely alert the enemies. Your best bet is to use cover while you're shooting. If Willis goes down, make sure you revive him; he can still help you clear the area.

Once things are quiet, head into the Lookout Tower and wait for Willis. He's going to lure out the VIP you're after.

Tail the helicopter

As soon as the chopper appears, you need to drop down and grab an ATV. Your next job is to follow it. The roads out here can be pretty rough, so you'll have to wrestle with the controls a bit. Warning: If you fall behind by more than 400 meters, the mission will fail, so try to keep it together and avoid too many mistakes.

The helicopter will eventually land to pick up the VIP. Keep your distance while they're boarding, and then get back to tailing it. Make sure you hit those ramps as you go through the fields and, whatever you do, avoid the water. Eventually, this chase will lead you to a safehouse.

Secure the Safehouse

The VIP you're tailing will lead you right back to the safehouse. Keep your distance and ditch the vehicle so you can approach on foot. Your best bet is to start your takedowns from the back of the house. There are usually three Cultists near each other with their backs turned, making for easy stealth takedowns.

Move quickly to the next Cultist you see near the road, and then take out the last one on the side of the house. Don't forget the VIP himself!

Once all the enemies are down, head into the shed and make your way down into the bunker. Inside, you'll find some cash, a Perk Magazine, ammo, and most importantly, the VHS Tape you've been after. Once you have it, head back to the surface and hand over the tape. Seems like the deal might be off, but hey, mission accomplished!
