You can also change the appearance of gear to your liking, if you want your guerrilla warrior to look as fashionable as possible, something that’s very welcome in the game’s third-person segments when you visit a camp – or with Far Cry 6’s excellent photo mode. Mixing and matching gear perks to suit the situation can grow a little tiresome, but you’ll likely find a build that works for you across all encounters once you’ve racked up enough pieces of clothing. Some pieces of gear allow you to increase your default movement speed, for example, while others will boost your resistance against specific damage types. You can equip gear to head, chest, arms, legs and feet, all of which provide unique perks that help to give Dani an edge in combat. There are only a handful of these to obtain, and while the likes of Chorizo the sausage dog and Guapo the alligator are fun additions, they’re sadly not massively helpful beyond the early game, past which Dani is packing enough heat that a comedy animal sidekick can’t hope to match.ĭani brings a good amount of defense to any given battle, too.
Rounding out your combat options are Amigos, unlockable animal friends that make a return from Far Cry 5. Oh, and your weapons, Rides and Supremos are all customizable with different paint jobs, charms, dashboard items and more, allowing you to usher in the revolution in style. As such, Dani is no slouch when it comes to combat, but they’ll also have access to Rides, vehicles that can be outfitted with various turrets, countermeasures and defensive options. Supremos are not only a superb addition to Far Cry, but they can seriously help turn the tables in the game’s most hectic assaults.ĭani can carry up to three primary weapons into battle, along with a sidearm, Supremo and a handful of throwables like pipe bombs or knives. Others generate healing fields, EMP blasts or a literal ring of fire that’s fantastic for crowd control. The default Supremo fires a salvo of homing rockets that’s perfect for taking down aerial threats. These backpacks essentially act as Dani’s ultimate ability, and recharge over time after use, or by killing more enemies. More impactful to combat are the devastatingly powerful Supremos. Some Resolver weapons are flamethrowers, which we found to be strangely underpowered in Far Cry 6, with even basic unarmored enemies shaking off the flames like we’d just waved a lighter in their faces. Others are novel, Saints Row-esque weapons that have very situational uses, but somewhat lack in combat viability. Sadly, these two examples are probably the best the Resolver weapon system has to offer. Another appears to be a slot machine converted into a firework launcher, with which you can fire one at a time or a whole stack of nine to completely decimate vehicles like tanks and helicopters. For example, one Resolver weapon is a literal nail gun that’s highly effective against unarmored targets. The former are makeshift weapons, thrown together with everyday objects. The biggest addition to combat in Far Cry 6 is undoubtedly Resolver and Supremo weapons. Not because slinking around a military base picking off guards one by one isn’t fun (it certainly is), but more because Far Cry 6 presents a vast arsenal of weapons that are extremely tough to say no to. While stealth is still a viable option, as it has been since Far Cry 3, it’s easy to get the feeling that Far Cry 6 absolutely doesn’t want you to take this approach. The game’s emphasis on guerrilla warfare encourages players to use makeshift weapons (and whatever they can find in the immediate environment) to get one over on Castillo’s forces. It’s fair to say that Far Cry 6 turns the series’ sandbox style gameplay well up to eleven. Some "Resolver" weapons are better than others.Antón’s cold and calculating demeanor is a refreshing departure from the series’ more eccentric baddies like Vaas or Pagan Min, and is done justice by Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian) who lends his face and voice to the character.Įsposito clearly enjoyed playing the role, his every line of dialog dripping with contempt for everyone around him save for his son, Diego, who also becomes one of Far Cry 6’s most fascinating characters – walking a thin line between embracing his father’s wishes and sympathizing with the revolutionaries who want to end the dictator’s reign. It makes them easy to hate, sure, but their one-dimensional nature falls far short of the much more well-realized Antón Castillo.Īnd speaking of the man himself, Antón Castillo might just be the best Far Cry villain to date. Each of the big man’s underlings, including his nephew José and Canadian corporatist Sean McKay are cartoonishly evil. The goons on Castillo’s team are a little less convincing, unfortunately.
