Update: I think i have a solution. Currently using AMD Radeon driver v20.1.1
I was playing around with the setting file and i can confirm that at least in ma case, it got ri of the issue. On the system drive (C:\Users\ [username] \Documents\My Games\Far Cry 4\ [username] ) you should have a file called GamerProfile.xml. Open this with notepad, and search for "LightingQuality", which in my case was set to "high" (there's no such option ingame tho). I changed this value to "ultra", "veryhigh" and "medium" to see if the issue goes away, and it does! Thank f*king god lol. For some reason this glitch only happens on "high" setting in my case. Now, i'm not sure if this introduces some other visual glitches, or they have been there the whole time and i'm just more aware of them because i was paying attention to this glitch so much, but here's what i notice:
- When you aim with a sniper, the object closer than a specific distance become blurry and they have this ugly soft glow everywhere, which is annoying and makes aiming harder. If you aim farther, it's completely fine. Not that big of a big deal imho
- Sometimes the terrain or the entire game goes too dark or too bright for a second, like if you were looking at something dark and it has to compensate by bringing up the brightness
- Around sunrise and sunset, before or after the sun is actually visible on the sky, weapons and such start to have an orange highlight, like what you currently have in this glitch, but it's just a highlight, nothing disturbing and it goes away after like 30 seconds
- I think the shadows are just slightly too dark still, but it's much better than what it used to be
To be sure, i'll insert my entire GamerProfile.xml, just in case you need some other specific setting or something
I hope could help you!

I have the same issue, with an R9 290X. It's the driver that's causing the issue. You have to revert back to 18.3.4 driver or older, because all the never ones cause this glitch on the terrain, and it makes the game literally unplayable in most cases since you can't see anything at times. I just started replaying it again a couple of days ago with the current (19.12.3 or whatever) driver and the issue is still there, though it's less noticeable. I've tried many settings ingame and in AMD Settings but none of them did anything to this, so i had to revert to 18.3.4 to enjoy the game, i even have a backup installer for this driver in case it won't be available anymore in the future, lol. Honestly it's infuriating
