The M-79 returns to Far Cry 5.
A sawn-off variant, the M79 as it appears in Far Cry 5 has a shortened stock and barrel, allowing it to be used as a sidearm.
The damage has been significantly reduced, and is no longer capable of destroying or flipping most vehicles with a single shot; rather, a single shot will disable the vehicle, while a second shot is required to destroy it. This actually makes it very useful for stopping prisoner vans or reaping trucks, since they will stop without killing the occupants or destroying the cargo.
