Far Cry 6 bursts onto the scene with its signature open-world chaos, a gripping story of rebellion, and the ever-iconic brand of terrifying villains. With its wealth of features and mechanics, the game can feel overwhelming at first. That’s why we’ve assembled 27 indispensable tips to help you hit the ground running and set yourself up for success in Yara.

1. Enemy Detection and Mini-Map Tips Unscanned enemies don’t appear as precise dots but as vague red clouds on your mini-map. The deeper the red, the more enemies are present. If you’re unsure of the threat level, look at the enemy’s health bar color—red bars indicate tough enemies, while a skull icon means you’re severely outmatched. Only a bow can one-shot these foes via headshot. Until you’re stronger, avoid direct confrontations.

2. Beware of Medics Some enemy squads include medics. If a downed enemy begins crawling, a medic might be nearby to revive them. It’s very similar to co-op revival mechanics. Take out the medic first to avoid prolonging a firefight unnecessarily.

3. Weapon Management Done Right You can carry four weapons: three mains and a sidearm. Quick-swap between your two latest with Y or Triangle. Before a big engagement, customize your two most recent selections to avoid cycling through the weapon wheel in the heat of battle.

4. Customize Visibility Settings Early Before you start playing, head to the accessibility menu under audio and interface. You can enable enemy outlines and loot highlights, which is incredibly useful for identifying foes in cluttered environments or grabbing loot in thick jungle brush.

5. Mod System Explained Weapon mods are crafted using materials like gunpowder and Supremo Bond. Once you unlock a mod (e.g., armor-piercing rounds for rifles), you can reuse it across similar weapon types without paying again. This turns crafting into more of a long-term investment than a one-off expense.

6. Farm Key Materials Gunpowder and Supremo Bond are your go-to upgrade resources. Complete missions, capture military targets, and loot FND and Libertad caches to build your reserves.

7. Amigo Tactics and Solo Play Each Amigo (animal companion) has special traits and unlockable abilities, often tied to specific tasks like distracting enemies or reviving themselves. Stealth players may want to dismiss aggressive Amigos like Guapo. You can do this easily from the Amigo tab and call them back anytime.

8. Weapon Loadout on the Fly You can swap weapons from your loadout any time using the Arsenal menu. But to switch mods, you’ll need a Resolver Workbench. A smart tactic is to equip different mod types on your arsenal weapons beforehand.

9. Horse Summoning Mechanics The green horse icon lets you summon mounts from hitching posts. You can customize breed and coat if you’ve unlocked them. Just note that horses don’t do well in deep water or erratic movement.

10. Follow Road Feature (With Limits) Cars and horses can follow the road automatically, but they’re not perfect. You’ll need to accelerate manually and watch turns—going too fast can cause you to veer off. Also, any manual braking disengages the auto-follow.

11. Park Smart If you’re stepping away from your vehicle temporarily, park to the side of the road. Traffic is hilariously terrible at maneuvering around obstacles, which can lead to soldiers becoming hostile if they get stuck.

12. Master Stealth for Rewards Approaching missions stealthily pays off. Not only can you gain access to locked doors and alternate entry points, but full stealth liberations of FND bases give extra resources and hidden computers. For a stealth-friendly setup, complete the La Triada treasure hunt on the starting island.

13. Treasure Hunt Gear That Changes the Game Completing La Triada gives you the Triador Supremo, La Varita rifle, and a stealth-oriented spirit panther Amigo named Oluso. Together, they make stealth gameplay significantly more powerful.

14. Bow Headshots = Instant Kills Bow headshots are silent, effective, and always lethal. They require practice but can help you take down even high-rank enemies.

15. First Operations First Upon reaching each of the three mainland regions, do the “Meet the Contact” mission first. This unlocks a central base with fast travel and mount/vehicle spawns, giving you a major logistical advantage.

16. Camp Facilities That Matter At your guerrilla camp, you can build two of six facilities. Prioritize:

• Hideout Network: Adds air-drop fast travel points and wingsuit access.
• Guerrilla Garrison: Improves rebel support and gives recon laptops for easy base scouting.

17. Understand Cache Types FND and Libertad caches drop gear in a set progression, not randomized loot. Crocodile chests hold unique weapons. Open every chest you see to advance through the loot tier list.

18. Track Multiple Missions at Once The game allows simultaneous tracking of story ops, side missions, and treasure hunts. You’re free to explore and progress at your own pace.

19. How to Take Down a Tank To damage tanks effectively, shoot the rear barrel to expose the engine. For hijacking, find unoccupied tanks. Destroying or commandeering one gives you serious firepower.

20. Slide Like a Pro You can slide downhill indefinitely. This helps you escape or infiltrate bases quickly and silently, especially when paired with stealth builds.

21. Keep Looks, Swap Perks Found great gear with bad aesthetics? Change its appearance to match any previously unlocked item while keeping its bonus stats.

22. Steal Civilian Cars Efficiently Use your phone’s scan feature to unlock civilian vehicles for future summoning. Stand in front to force a stop and ask the driver to exit—military vehicles are exempt from this trick.

23. Supremo Backpack—Use It! The flashing icon in the bottom-right means your Supremo’s ultimate ability is ready. Use it! You can also mod Supremos at the workbench with new gadgets and perks to adapt to any situation.

24. Customize Your Supremo Experiment with Supremo gadgets and mods to enhance stealth, explosions, or healing. These backpacks are your trump card—make them your own.

25. The Angelito FW Turbo is a Game Changer If you find this buggy with a turbine on the back, grab it and scan it immediately. It can fly. No, really. Found near Revmira Supply Dock, it’s perfect for bypassing terrain and traffic. Anti-air cannons are its only real threat.

26. Embrace Yara’s Variety Yara is vast, and Far Cry 6 encourages freeform play. Whether you’re sniping from rooftops, riding in with your panther, or raining fire from the sky, there’s no wrong way to fight the regime.

27. Explore, Adapt, and Experiment Far Cry 6 rewards creativity. Swap gear often, try different builds, and explore every corner. Whether you go stealth, chaos, or mix both, your path to revolution is your own.
