Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the Doctor's Orders mission in Far Cry 5. Learn how to get the doctor's bag, secure the area, and hunt for skins.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Get the doctor’s bag: As soon as you start the mission after talking to Dr. Lindsey, jump into the pond. Swim to the objective marker and dive underwater to grab the doctor's bag.
  2. 2
    Secure the area: As you surface, a cult helicopter will appear. Quickly swim to cover on the platform and take it down. You can use a rocket launcher or snipe the pilot. After dealing with the helicopter, you'll need to eliminate two more cultists and two Angels. Once the area is clear, return the bag to Dr. Lindsey.
  3. 3
    Hunt for skins: The doctor now needs 1 undamaged black bear skin and 2 undamaged pronghorn skins to make his bait. The game will mark locations on your map where you can find these animals.
  4. 4
    Reach Dr. Lindsey’s lab: Once you have the required skins, head to the Hope County Jail where Dr. Lindsey is waiting at his lab. If you've already liberated the jail, you can fast travel there. Otherwise, make your way there on foot to complete the mission.
Tips
  • To make hunting easier, consider purchasing the King of the Jungle Perk, which reduces how much animals tend to run away.
  • Bring along your Fangs for Hire, Boomer and Peaches, as they can be a great help in taking down animals quickly. Peaches, in particular, is excellent for hunting.
  • Don't feel restricted to the objective locations marked on the map. You can find plenty of black bears and pronghorns all over Hope County. Try looking west of the Jail, for instance. You might need to zoom in on your map to see them clearly.
