A good guerrilla knows how to turn every rock, body, and conversation into something useful. Far Cry 6 is filled with ways to gather valuable resources for crafting, customizing gear, and enhancing your overall power. If you want to gear up quickly and efficiently, this guide walks you through the best techniques to gather resources faster—starting from your very first steps in Isla Santuario.


Step One: Visit the Arms Dealer and Get the Scavenger Set

After clearing your first outpost on Isla Santuario, you’ll gain access to an arms dealer loyal to your cause. Your first stop? Pick up the Scavenger Gear Set.

Here’s why it’s a must-have:

  • Scrounger Helmet: It gives you X-ray vision for loot. Tag containers through walls and never miss a stash again.
  • Scrounger Coat: Boosts the amount of crafting materials you collect when looting.
  • Scrounger Shoes: Automatically gathers nearby items when you’re inside a vehicle—huge for long drives through resource-rich terrain.

Make this your guerrilla uniform. You’ll be swimming in components in no time.


Step Two: Customize Your HUD for Maximum Visibility

Far Cry 6 gives you the tools to fine-tune your experience. In the HUD settings, enable Pick Up Outline under the interface tab. This setting draws a visible border around any item that can be picked up.

Even better, go into the color tab and customize the outline color to something that pops for you. This is especially useful in dense jungle areas or during nighttime infiltrations when spotting loot might otherwise be difficult.


Step Three: Deploy Chorizo – The Ultimate Resource Sniffer

Your adorable amigo isn’t just for emotional support. Chorizo has two critical passive abilities for early resource gathering:

  • Bloodhound: Automatically tags nearby crafting materials.
  • Keen Senses: Occasionally digs up extra resources from the ground—completely passively.

Use Chorizo early in the campaign to rapidly expand your inventory. He’ll save you time, and you get to pet him. Which, frankly, makes you a better person.


Step Four: Talk to People and Save Hostages

Yara’s civilians aren’t just set dressing—they’re information hubs. Talk to anyone with a yellow exclamation mark over their head to receive intel about hidden caches and military targets loaded with crafting materials.

Freeing hostages often yields similar rewards and might even unlock hidden supply locations. It’s fast, rewarding, and part of your daily guerrilla routine.


Step Five: Bribe Guards for Cache Locations

Got some pesos weighing down your pockets? Put them to work. Bribing guards will reveal a cluster of hidden cache locations within a region.

Caches often contain:

  • Gunpowder (for weapon upgrades)
  • Supremo Bonds
  • Rare crafting materials

This tactic is especially handy in new zones where you haven’t fully scouted the terrain.


Step Six: Build and Upgrade La Cantina

La Cantina is one of the most underrated facilities in Far Cry 6. Build it at any guerrilla camp to start cooking meals that grant temporary buffs.

For resource gathering, aim to unlock the Lucky Fish n’ Chips recipe at level 2 of La Cantina. It gives you a massive advantage:

  • Buff Duration: 6 hours of in-game time
  • Buff Effect: Increases crafting material and animal meat drop rates

To cook it, you’ll need a Snook Fish. Time to break out your fishing rod, guerrilla.


Recap: Your Guerrilla Resource Routine

Let’s summarize the most efficient steps for rapid resource acquisition in Far Cry 6:

  1. Get the Scavenger Set from the arms dealer after your first outpost.
  2. Tweak your HUD settings—enable and color-code Pick Up Outline.
  3. Bring Chorizo along—he’ll sniff out and even dig up valuable loot.
  4. Talk to locals and rescue civilians to get intel on hidden stashes.
  5. Use bribes to reveal multiple caches at once.
  6. Cook at La Cantina—especially the Lucky Fish n’ Chips for massive loot buffs.

Final Thoughts

A well-prepared guerrilla doesn’t just rely on bullets—they rely on information, upgrades, and a sharp nose for loot. These resource-gathering strategies will keep your pockets full, your weapons modded, and your revolution well-fed. Now go fish, pet your dog, and loot Yara blind.
