Far Cry 6 is a huge game filled with difficult challenges and unique objectives. If you want to even the odds as you play, you may need some unique weaponry. Here are the best weapons in Far Cry 6 in each category.
Far Cry 6 Best Weapons
Below are our choices so far, but we'll update you if we find any more on our travels around Yara.
Resolver Weapons
Resolver Weapons are a special type that can only be unlocked through certain quests or the use of Depleted Uranium. Perhaps the most deadly of them is the La Varita. You can earn this, alongside the Triador Supremo backpack, by completing the Triada Blessings quest.
When combined together, this allows you to one-shot enemies through walls, an incredibly powerful mechanic.
For the most part, I'll stay away from weapons that come from preordering the game but the El Muro is an exception to this rule. Placing a small shotgun in one hand and a shield in the other, this weapon is an absolute powerhouse that carried me to the end of the game.
Rifles & Assault Rifles
There are two main types of rifle you find in Far Cry 6, the semi-automatic high damage rifle or the fully automatic spray weapon. The SKS can be found in weapon caches and provides the first category. Feeling somewhere between a rifle and a sniper, the SKS is precise and deadly.
If you're looking for something a little more unique, the Vaya Con Dios that can be found in Yara Contraband at the Gabriel Castillo Airport provides a big magazine alongside a huge rpm. If you want to spray someone down quickly, give this a go.
Submachine Guns
If you have enough ammo and the resources to upgrade it, you may never need anything more than the MP7. Being unlocked in standard weapon crates, you can upgrade its damage and add a silencer to mow through enemies easily.
If you have the Moneda (which can be earned via operations or unique challenges), you can buy the overclocked MP5 from Lola, a similar weapon to the MP7 but even stronger.
Light Machine Guns
If you want an excuse to hold the trigger and keep it held down until everyone is dead, the MG42 is a very solid light machine gun with decent long-range potential and 100 bullets in a mag.
Having a huge velocity stat, the unique Impact Driver is a very solid weapon for holding down an area. You can find this in a chest in Chancleta Resort.
Sniper Rifles
Like rifles, sniper rifles have two central types: The quick-firing semi-automatic and the slow but deadly single shot. If you want something powerful and slow with plenty of customisation options, the MBP .50 should be on your list.
If you want something quicker, The Transubstantiator is as powerful as our previous entry with a lot more speed.
Shotguns
Shotguns serve one central purpose, taking people out at close range. The KSG is a powerful shotgun with a huge magazine and a fairly slow rate of fire. If you want an excuse to just keep firing, this is a solid choice.
The Spas 12 is a decent bit quicker at three times the RPM as the KSG. That being said, its mag is much smaller. If you want something more reactive and better for clearing out a small space quickly, this is what you should pick.
Bows
For the most part, there's not much of a reason to recommend multiple bows. There's enough variety to justify testing them out but they all do similar things.
The Compound Bow is a versatile choice with tonnes of customization options. Try this out and test what it can do.
Launchers
Launchers are the single biggest tool when it comes to taking down Anti Aircraft weaponry. The RPG-7 is a decent choice you can earn early on.
The Into Orbit unique launcher is the best launcher you can find, doing tonnes of damage and having a lock-on function. You can find it in the Liquid Courage treasure hunt.
