In Far Cry 5, there are 50 total baseball cards that can be collected throughout the vast open world. Finding all of the cards allows you to complete the “Collector” achievement/trophy. The cards are scattered randomly across Hope County in a variety of locations like homes, stores, abandoned buildings, and more. Each area of the map has a set number of cards that can spawn, with rural locations generally having fewer cards compared to towns.
The areas with the most baseball cards are Falls End, the Whitetail Mountains prepper stash locations, and Jacob Seed’s region. Falls End has 10 potential card spawn locations, making it the single best area to hunt for cards early on. Especially check the abandoned home/church by the sign, the roof of the gun store, the diner, and inside residences. In the Whitetail Mountains, each prepper stash has a chance for a card to spawn. Since there are many stashes, this is another great region. Most notably, check the large stash west of the veteran center for multiple potential spawns.
In Jacob’s region, substantial numbers of cards can be found across the region. Specifically, check inside each veteran center building for 1-2 potential spawns each. Also, thoroughly search the veteran bunkers that become captured territories throughout the storyline progression. The Jefferson Memorial Bunker, Spread Eagle Veterans Center, and Veteran Children’s Center are some of the best locations. Randomly generated supply drop rewards have a small chance to include baseball cards, so be sure to respond to any drops that appear on your map.
The remaining areas have fewer overall spawns but are still worth thoroughly checking potential locations. In Faith’s region, search homes, barns and the occasional random stash spot concealed in the wilderness. In John’s region, focus your efforts on thoroughly looting every building in complex areas like the construction site, marina, andWhitetail Mountains vet center area as these have the highest card densities. Occasionally a card may spawn behind the locked doors in ranch homes as well. Rural spots will likely yield only 1 card max if any.
The best strategy is to loot every container, desk drawer, container and shelf space in buildings, especially multi-room structures. Cards can spawn in almost any container type, so leave no drawer unchecked. Revisit areas as you progress the story, as new cards may respawn in spots you previously looted empty. With diligent and thorough searches of the key locations outlined above, collecting all 50 baseball cards is very achievable without resort guides or maps. Getting 100% region map discoveries also helps reveal potential spawn points that may go overlooked. So get out there, loot everything not nailed down, and finish your Far Cry 5 baseball card collection!
