The third Far Cry 5 live event, Roadkill, has begun and this time we're kicking back country style, with redneck rewards to boot. The event launched Tuesday, April 17 at 1 p.m. EDT and will continue for a full week. If you've heard about the challenge but aren't sure how to participate or meet community goals, we've put together a complete guide to everything you need to know below.
Far Cry 5 Live Event Guide: Everything You Need To Know About The Roadkill Event
The latest Far Cry 5 includes both a personal goal and a community goal which must be completed by April 24 to claim the rewards. The event will take place in the wide open spaces of Hope County, and according to Ubisoft's post, the goal is pretty simple: "Take out some peggies while enjoying the scenery and if some critters get caught in the mideel, well, we won't tattle."
Far Cry 5 Roadkill Live Event Personal Goals & Rewards: How To Get The Quad Bike and More
As with the previous events, there are two separate reward pools players work towards in the Roadkill event. The first is a set of personal goals, which you will complete alone. To complete this week's personal event challenge, all you have to do jump in any air, land or water vehicle and run down 20 cultists or wildlife. You can find a lot of vehicles in the Falls End garage. Some players have reported the Reaper as your best choice. It's messy but easy to use. You'll also receive these rewards:
- Kill 10 Peggies or Animals - 100XP and 50 Silver Bars
- Kill 20 Peggies or Animals - 100XP and Funaki E-716 'The Grill Steak" Quad Vehicle
Far Cry 5 Roadkill Live Event Community Goals & Rewards
Live Events also feature community level rewards received by the entire community as they reach specific goals. Here are the goals the community must reach by April 24 to receive the group rewards:
- Kill 500,000 Peggies or Animals - 100XP and 50 Silver Bars
- Kill 1 Million Peggies or Animals - 100XP and "Country" Outfit

Why Aren't My Kills Being Counted? Problems & Known Issues With Live Event
According to the official Far Cry 5 Twitter page, there is a known issue with the Roadkill event that is causing event progression (kills) not to be counted. Ubisoft is looking into the issue and rewards will be given retroactively. Once a fix is live, we'll be sure to update this post.
We are aware that there is currently an issue with Roadkill Live Event progression. Player progress is tracked, although it is not currently displayed. Rewards should be rewarded retroactively. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have more information for players soon.
