Getting the Compound Bow Early

Getting the Compound Bow early in Far Cry 5 (the best early-game weapon).

The Compound Bow is silent, accurate and can take out enemies in one hit. Find one in the Silver Lake Boathouse on the west coast of Dutch's Island. Swim inside, climb up and flip the power switch on the wall, grab the Boathouse Key beside the door and open it, then turn the wheel by the shed to pump out the water. Open the hatch to reach the prepper stash; inside, smash the wooden barricade to reach the back room where the bow — and a decent amount of cash — waits.
