Timber is a mutated dog and Fangs for Hire in Far Cry New Dawn.
History[]
Timber is a stray dog who wandered Hope County, living his best life, until he was caught by the Highwaymen and sent to their makeshift butcher shop. Still, Timber didn't go down without a fight. Timber mauled three Highwaymen before getting caught.
Far Cry New Dawn[]
The Security Captain rescues Timber and his captive dog friends from the Highwaymen's butcher shop. Thankful for the rescue, Timber becomes the Captain's Fang for hire.
He is leveled up by killing Highwaymen and gains additional abilities:
- 0 Kills: Retriever - Timber will tag enemies, dig Crafting Materials and sometimes fetch a weapon after an attack.
- 15 Kills: Pointer - Timber will tag Crafting Materials nearby and alarms.
- 40 Kills: Guard Dog - Timber will intercept animals trying to attack you.
Breed And Age[]
Timber strongly resembles an Akita Inu, specifically a Japanese Akita Inu. As for his age, he seems to be between 6–10 years old.
Trivia[]
- Notes have described Timber to be a “Really (Expletive) smart Dog”.
- Timber has a sense of morality, barking at the player if they attack a friendly.
- Radiation is the most probable reason for the strength and intelligence of Timber.
- Like Boomer, Timber will steal weapons from enemies and bring them to you.
- Timber is the only Fang for Hire in the game that is able to jump into appropriate vehicles, such as cars, SUVs and motorcycles with sidecars and thus ride alongside the player without needing to run behind the vehicle. This is a feature that Boomer does not demonstrate in Far Cry 5.
- If the player has not moved for a while, Timber will repeatedly bark at them, so as to try to get their attention.
- Timber's petting animation differs from that of other dogs. Timber, when pet, will be shown leaping onto the player and licking their face. In contrast, other dogs will not show much affection to the player when being pet.
- Timber's petting animations are the same as Boomer's in Far Cry 5.
- Timber can be seen playing with the other dogs while he is in Prosperity.
