Staci Pratt

Deputy Staci Pratt is one of the Hope County Sheriff's Department Deputies sent with U.S. Marshal Cameron Burke to arrest Joseph Seed.

Far Cry 5[]

The Warrant[]

Main article: The Warrant

Pratt is sent with The Junior Deputy, Deputy Joey Hudson, Sheriff Earl Whitehorse, and U.S. Marshal Cameron Burke in taking Joseph Seed, a radical preacher into custody.

If Joseph Seed is not arrested and everyone left early, it's unknown what would happen to Staci Pratt.

Though Joseph appears to go willingly when they make the arrest, the situation quickly escalates when the cult responds to the arrest with violence. In the ensuing chaos, he gets lost, while Joseph launches a manhunt to capture the Marshal and the Junior Deputy.

The World Is Weak[]

Main article: The World Is Weak

After his capture, Pratt is taken into the northern section of the county, the Whitetail Mountains. He is forced to read a confessional that is aired on several televisions in the Whitetail Mountain regions. He is later revealed to have been broken and conditioned by Jacob Seed and is reunited with the Junior Deputy when the latter is captured by Jacob. When he meets the Deputy again, he frantically says that the Deputy shouldn't have come.

We Must Be Strong[]

Main article: We Must Be Strong

The second time Jacob abducts the Deputy, Pratt says "They want you to be strong. One of you will be strong..." before Jacob pushes him aside, calling him "peaches". He then listens to Joseph's story about his wife and daughter.

Sacrifice the Weak[]

Main article: Sacrifice the Weak

In the third scene with Jacob, while he talks to the Deputy about his own past, Jacob forces Pratt to trim and style his beard with a knife, knowing that although he could easily kill him, he won't because he is completely under his control. After this, Pratt helps the Deputy escape from Jacob's compound. The goal is to leave together, but when Jacob's mind controlling tunes start to play, Pratt screams in pain and shoves the Deputy on top of a semi-truck about to leave the compound, so that the Deputy is not affected.

When Jacob meets the Deputy again, he remarks that Pratt was "disciplined" severely for helping the Deputy escape. What precisely happened isn't revealed, but TVs around the region show Pratt tied to a chair in Jacob’s bunker, where he declares Pratt will be left alone without food and water to die. When the Deputy finds Pratt in the compound after Jacob is killed he is badly injured.

Casualties of War[]

Main article: Casualties of War

The Deputy goes to Jacob's bunker and rescues Pratt. Pratt, traumatized from his torture, begins smashing the machines looping his torture. Pratt then grabs a nearby gun and states that his torture made him strong. The cultists are now the weak ones, and, repeating what Jacob has said, "the weak must be culled", before shooting at the generators behind him and initiating the bunker's destruction. As they escape, Pratt tells the Deputy that the bunker they are in is supposed to protect them from what's to come, and believes Joseph's statement that the Deputy - and only the Deputy - can stop it.

Where It All Began[]

Main article: Where It All Began

At the end of the game, if the "Walk Away" ending is chosen, Pratt will be delighted not to fight Joseph and doesn't want to return if the Sheriff brings in the Guard from Missoula, only for the Sheriff to remark that Pratt will follow orders. If the "Resist" ending is chosen, Pratt can be heard frantically screaming the "Hail Mary" Catholic prayer while the bombs are going off.

Far Cry New Dawn[]

In this timeline, the "Resist" ending is canon and Pratt is deceased. (However, as Far Cry 6 supposedly takes place in 2021, and the game does not seem to refer to any apocalyptic nuclear conflict, the canon status of Far Cry New Dawn is questionable.)

Far Cry 6[]

In Far Cry 6, the world including the US were not destroyed in 2018, and the waves of sectarian violence incited by the Project at Eden's Gate did not happen, or at least nowhere near the level seen in Far Cry 5, as the Seed Family are still alive with public online presence as of late 2021, likely because they were not breaking the laws, at least not to the point of being confronted by US law enforcements, as the US government is not distracted by WW3 in this case.

The fate of Staci Pratt and numerous other American characters are left unknown, such as whether they survived the pandemic and lockdowns or not, at least by the time Dani Rojas listened to the news report in Miami coast.

Personality[]

Little of Pratt's personality is shown before he is captured by Jacob, but afterwards, it is shown that Jacob had made him very mentally unwell, shown when he is saved from the cult where he screams and smashes the Cult's equipment in a blind rage. Jacob has seemingly burned his Darwinist ideology into Pratt's brain, as even after Jacob's demise, and despite supporting the resistance, he continues to believe in Jacob's ideology and belief that the weak must be culled.

Trivia[]

  • Pratt reveals his first name to be Staci over F.A.N.G. Center's loudspeakers, while showing his loyalty to the Cult. His whole name is also displayed in the end credits.
    • Furthermore, his age is listed on a prisoner list found in-game as being 26.
  • An NPC in Jacob's region may say he was "a bit of a douche bag", but still does not deserve what Jacob is doing to him.
  • In the character creation scene, despite The Young Deputy having straight unrolled sleeves and black leather gloves, the icon appears to have rolled up sleeves and no gloves meaning that Deputy Pratt is most likely the placeholder icon for the male character.
