Training Tip: Fast Ability Unlocking Before we dive into rankings, here’s a quick trick: to level up your Amigos quickly and unlock their abilities, head to the southern area of the Madrugada region. South of Castillo’s Tobacco Factory is a spot with small enemy groups that respawn almost instantly. Defeat them, teleport away or walk 10 meters, and return. Rinse and repeat—it’s one of the fastest ways to level your pets.

#7 – Guapo (The Tanky Distraction)

Guapo the crocodile looks fierce and can revive himself once per fight, which sounds great—but he struggles in practice.

Strengths:

• Self-revive and regeneration
• Can tank for a short while

Weaknesses:

• Goes down quickly against groups
• Not effective for stealth or damage

Use Guapo if you want a walking distraction in chaotic fights—but don’t expect him to last long.

#6 – Chorizo (The Stealthy Support Pup)

This adorable sausage dog is non-lethal, and his main use is drawing attention away from you.

Strengths:

• Distracts enemies while you sneak
• Highlights materials and loot in the area

Weaknesses:

• No combat value
• Loot marking isn’t helpful for players who already grab everything

Ideal for early stealth runs or players who want a distraction with zero aggro risk.

#5 – Chicharrón (The Feathered Berserker)

The wild rooster you recruit in El Este is pure chaos. He dives into battle with no regard for survival, and that can be both good and bad.

Strengths:

• High burst damage from his leap attack
• Can knock enemies down and dodge bullets after ability unlocks

Weaknesses:

• Squishy, especially early on
• First ability only triggers at low HP

Chicharrón is fun but reckless—great for crazy playstyles, but not ideal for tactical players.

#4 – Boom Boom (The Classic Stealth and Spotter Combo)

Returning from Far Cry 5, Boom Boom is a versatile doggo. Unlock him via the Boom or Bust mission in Valle de Oro.

Strengths:

• Can silently kill enemies—even when spotted
• Highlights enemy positions without being noticed
• Balanced mix of utility and offense

Weaknesses:

• Slightly weaker in direct combat

Boom Boom is a solid all-rounder. He’s stealthy, helps with recon, and can handle himself in fights.

#3 – Oluso (The Apex Predator of Stealth)

Unlocked through the Triada Blessings questline on the starting island, Oluso the panther is hands down the strongest Amigo for stealth and utility.

Strengths:

• Stealth pounce kills that make bodies vanish
• Induces fear in enemies nearby after a kill
• Becomes invincible below 50% HP after final upgrade

Weaknesses:

• Requires lengthy multi-region quest to unlock

If you want silent takedowns, battlefield control, and a pet that almost never dies, Oluso is your go-to.

Bonus: Paid DLC Amigos

These companions are available only through DLC packs, but they’re still worth mentioning.

K-9000 (Blood Dragon Pack)

• Immune to poison
• Can detect traps, alarms, and cameras
• Can explode on death after final upgrade

Decent utility pet, especially when poison enemies become a nuisance. But you likely won’t need him if you’re already observant.

Champagne (Vice Pack)

• High damage pounce
• Bonus damage scales with how much money you have
• Loots enemies for pesos (though the loot pickup sometimes doesn’t trigger properly)

She’s a lethal assassin and best used by rich players who want their cash to serve a second purpose.

Conclusion: Choose What Fits Your Playstyle

Ultimately, the best Amigo for you comes down to how you approach the game. Want all-out chaos? Go with Chicharrón. Need someone to clean up silently? Oluso has your back. Or maybe you’re the kind of player who just wants a cute dog who barks and marks enemies. There’s no wrong answer—but there are definitely better fits for your combat style.
