Finally, Arthur can unlock a card for his tent at $ 325. You can then quickly visit the towns and villages previously visited from your camp.

Rest and Relaxation

Your central campfire has a multitude of uses, but most importantly, it is the best place to rest. Complete a mission, hold Triangle or Y and rest (do not forget to eat while you are there too).
