The Holdouts is a Prepper Stash in Far Cry 5. Prepper Stashes are mini-quests that offer exceptional rewards for completing.
Location[]
This stash is located at the Elliot Residence, south of the FANG Center and west of the Baron Lumber Mill in Whitetail Mountains.
Finding the Stash[]
Get up onto the roof of the house from the back side and go through a broken window. Find the bathroom and from there, climb up on top of the roof. Turn right and go into another broken window and back into the house. Look for a key next to a corpse downstairs. After getting the key, backtrack out of the house and locate a locked shed outside. The key won't fit this lock but has to be shot off. Go inside the shed, then underground to a locked door. The found key will work here and the stash is inside.
Rewards[]
The stash includes cash and perk magazines.
Glitches[]
If the player shoots the lock off the bunker door in the shed, but doesn't open/interact with the bunker door, the door glitches and becomes un-selectable/intractable when the backup arrives, and the player will not be able to finish the mission. This can be fixed by saving and then quitting the game entirely. Upon restart, the lock is relocked, and the player can continue with the mission. (However, the backup will show up immediately, so the player should watch out for them when restarting the game.)
Trivia[]
- Upon arriving at the location, you will hear a Peggie radio asking if everything is alright, and asking if the dead peggies need backup. Due to the damage to the home and the radio, it is very much possible that the entire scene of the Holdout happened minutes before the player arrives.
- After grabbing the key, the radio will tell the player that backup is on its way, though that backup is rather ineffective and ends up in the same boat as the others.
- You can find a recording of Eli, asking Elliot to come and join the Whitetails, a message sent a little to late.
- Unconfirmed - It is possible that upon approaching the residence, you can hear gunfire of the raging battle inside.
