While most players enjoy Far Cry 5 for its campaign, some have sunk plenty of time into the game's surprisingly deep map editor. One fan of The Mandalorian has used the tool to its fullest potential, recreating the Razor Crest ship inside of Far Cry 5.
Flown by protagonist Din Djarin throughout the series, the Razor Crest is quickly becoming one of the most iconic ships in Star Wars. Standing out due to its two large jet engines, lengthy cockpit, and front guns, Mando’s ship is instantly recognizable. While it has already made its way into the realm of video games via Fortnite’s Mandalorian crossover, skilled Far Cry Arcade map creator Andrew Birtles has brought the ship over to Far Cry 5 as well.
Despite having some limited tools to work with, the creative Mandalorian fan managed to work a lot of detail into the ship. For starters, the player does a fine job nailing the overall scale of the ship, as the bulky vehicle takes up a lot of space on the map. The large cockpit is seen clearly, with the two miniguns on either side of the glass. The massive jet engines are also incorporated, and while they are a fair bit slimmer than the originals, they still get the job done. The material used for the ship is great as well, as it manages to look shiny and metallic.
With more details like some yellow paint on the side of the ship as well as an entrance ramp in the back, Andrew Birtles did a stellar job with their build. While the fan could have stopped there, however, they managed to give the ship a standout background setting. The planet Nevarro from The Mandalorian Season 1 has been recreated, with the signature archway and buildings from the planet's city seen throughout. As it turns out, the Razor Crest is just one part of a Mandalorian-themed level that Birtles has designed.
To show off this level, the player recreated an official Mandalorian trailer in its entirety. Working around the audio from the show's first trailer, Birtles includes audio clips from The Client. He also works together clips from the trailer’s fight scenes, including when Mando hits a throwing knife kill on a Stormtrooper. While the Stormtroopers need to be replaced with regular people in white motorcycle outfits, and the aliens need to be swapped out with Bison, there still are some great touches throughout. The silenced pistol sounds just like a blaster, while the actual city of Navarro and its custom-made droids are spot-on.
While this Mandalorian-themed Far Cry Arcade map was made on Xbox, the trailer clarifies that it is accessible on all platforms. Though it may not be the same as a proper game based on The Mandalorian, the fan's hard work deserves some appreciation.
Far Cry 5 is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
