In the effort to free the Caribbean island of Yara from El Presidente’s dictatorship,Far Cry 6gives players control of guerilla fighter Dani Rojas as well as the opportunity to equip themselves with a wide range of military-grade hardware to contend with the local militia. As fans of otherFar Crygames know,Far Cry 6gives players enough freedom to customize their loadouts to transform Dani into a force to reckon with.
Given the various degrees of difficulty that can be encountered in each of the Yara’s regions, Dani needs to tailor-fit their arsenal to accommodate enemy threats. This means Dani can’t simply rely on a single loadout of weapons to get the job done. For players to maximize theirFar Cry 6experience, certain sets of weapons just work in particular situations.
Updated on June 02, 2025 by Rhenn Taguiam:With recent rumors thatFar Cry 7will have an in-game time limit to finish its main campaign, fans of the acclaimed open world experience are divided about their perception of this rather new but limiting component. And for fans eagerly awaiting more news about this much-awaited sequel, they might want to consider deep-diving into the shoes of Dani Rojas as they attempt to overthrow El Presidente in the nation of Yara inFar Cry 6. While the latter is known for having quite the extensive armory, fans might have a hard time thinking of what exactly they should equip Dani to become a deadly powerhouse amid various threats. Thankfully, fans can create a decentFar Cry 6loadout based on their specific objectives, such as having a weapon prepared for every occasion, relying on immense firepower, and securing heavy-hitters.
Sidearm
The Diplomat
Players who just want to start firefights gun blazing would simply need the right weapon to dish out as many bullets as possible, and this is somethingStraightforward Rampagefacilitates inFar Cry 6gameplay with a two-weapon combo. At its core, players need theM249 SAWfor its capacity to support players in extended firefight. This weapon is made more efficient when upgraded with Soft-Target Rounds, a Compensator, and a Military Laser with Gut-Wrencher and Fast Reload Perks. These would essentially endow the weapon with controlled burst-firing mechanisms to pick out enemies without feeling too overwhelmed.
Among Sidearms in the game,The Diplomatseems to perform less in terms of overall firepower compared to popular choices like The Big Dog and the Double-0. However, the weapon more than compensates for its decent damage and more careful single-fire shooting mode.
(LMG) M60
(AR) SSGP-58
(Shotgun) KSG
The Autocrat
Players who just want to get theirFar Cry 6experience to be as wildly chaotic as possible can rely onRampaging Firepowerto get the job done with heavy-hitting weapons. A key component in their arsenal is theMG60, an LMG that isn’t as fast as standards like the MG21 but still packs a punch when aimed at a particular target. If players want smoother gunplay, theSSGP-58AR is a solid choice to damage foes at different ranges - especially when waiting for the enemy to call for reinforcements beforedishing out the MG60for maximum carnage.
Should players have to get up close and personal, theKSGcan quickly dispatch enemies at close range with its high damage and velocity stats. TheAutocratremains an ever-reliable Sidearm in emergencies, especially with its Armor-Piercing Rounds as well as Trigger Discipline and Gut-Wrencher Mods that practically allow it to body shot and fire at ADS for much more damage.
Players enjoying theirFar Cry 6gameplay can kick things up a notch withDistance Domination, essentially allowing them to engage foes within the safe distance of long-ranged weapons. A key component to this arsenal would be the Libertad CustomMS16Lcapable of hitting foes at mid-to-long-range, while theSSGP-58is an Assault Rifle that can easily tear foes to shreds without having to come close for killing blows.
For an explosive touch, players will enjoy using theVengeance Bow, an Overclocked Recurve Bow that possesses Blast Arrows to give shots an extra “kick” that practically makes every arrow a mini-shotgun. In emergencies, theDiplomatis a must-use Overclocked Pistol upon acquisition. Its high-damaging rounds quickly compensates for its lack of auto-firing capabilities, allowing players to shoot more specific annoying foes up close.
(SMG) MP7 (Suppressor)
Double-0
Players who want a direct loadout for stealth kills would likely enjoySimpler Precisionas a part of theirFar Cry 6gameplay. While not necessarily containing a Sniper Rifle, using theCompound Bowfor killing foes quietly can feel more satisfying than pulling a regular trigger. Traditionalfirefights at long-distancescan be made easier with theSSGP-58Assault Rifle.
At closer distances, anMP7with a Suppressor should be able to take down foes swiftly without attracting too much attention. Even if enemies get to call for reinforcements, theDouble-0shouldn’t let players get too overwhelmed as its innate high firepower can take care of them when they get too close for comfort.
(Launcher) MGL-6
Desert Eagle
With the vast biomes of Yaraup for players ofFar Cry 6to explore, it makes sense for some of their loadouts to accommodate fast and loose incursions so they can traverse locations more efficiently. This is whatQuick-Fire Ambushoffers, especially with theMGL-6which can offer much-needed firepower if players want to rush guns blazing into the battlefield. With this destruction at the ready, players can quickly swoop in for easy kills with theEldritch Truthand quick-taps with theDesert Eagle.
Alternatively, players can also start with an MGL-6 shot and then pick off the panicking enemy teams with theLibertad Custom AKM, only going for a short-ranged offensive once they zero in on the player’s location.
(Shotgun) SPAS-12
Big Dog
Theunpredictability of AI inFar Cry 6can spell certain doom for overconfident players, especially when a simple encounter can get complicated quickly when vehicles and reinforcements arrive. This is whereFire is the Cleansercomes in, as the loadout offers a multitude of ways for players to demolish enemy forces quickly without letting their numbers and weapons overwhelm them. Key to this build is thePyrotechnoResolver, as its literal usage of fire can help players manipulate the environment to their advantage.
From afar, players can deal with enemies with the sheer firepower ofImpact Driver, as the LMG can shred opponents who dare come in the player’s general direction. In the case of short-range incursions, theSPAS-12should be a dependable-enough Shotgun, while theBig Dogcould be reserved for quick up-close kills.
(Sniper) MBP .50
(SMG) MP7
Primary 3
(Resolver) Pyrotechno
Consideringthe risk of facingFar Cry’s toughest villainsinFar Cry 6, players know better than to carry less than their most adequate weaponry for the job. In the case of Dani, her guerilla fighting against the game’s tougher opponents could use the potential ofToo Near, Too Far- a loadout capable of taking the fight to enemies regardless of their position. This particular loadout emphasizes giving Dani the opportunity to fight from afar with herMBP .50Sniper or up close with theMP7, arguably two of the best weapons in their respective range classes.
This way, players can get more flexible with the rest of the kit they’re bringing to accommodate different threats. ThePyrotechnoResolver is there for good measure, especially if Dani needs a way to get opponents off their tail during pursuits.
(SMG) MP5
(Rifle) SSGP-58
Heaven & Hell
Players who want to maximizethe sandbox environment ofFar Cry 6can enjoy eliminating foes from most setups withMulti-Range Punishment. Aside from this loadout giving players access to different weapons for all ranges, the kit especially excels in eliminating opponents efficiently regardless of the distance. TheZeusitois especially a worthwhile mention, as the EMP Resolver disables the changes of vehicles making a difference in combat. This can pave the way for heavy-hitting mayhem with theMP5and close ranged attacks viaHeaven & Hell.
It’s with long-range incursions that players can get creative. Traditional long-distance skirmishes could begin with the added firepower of theLibertad Custom SVD, although theSSGP-58could compensate with mid-to-long-range attacks. It’s this versatility that can transform Dani’s assaults into more enjoyable experiences.
On top of acquiringthe best gear inFar Cry 6, one of the surefire ways players can secure survival in the game would be through the usage of extreme firepower. This is made possible withOverkill Shots, a loadout that emphasizes the usage of as much firepower as possible to overwhelm opponents in almost any situation. From afar, theWhite Lotusshould take care of dangerous threats with precision aiming. In mid-to-long-range, theLibertad Custom MS16Lshould be able to take care of approaching foes.
Even if enemies manage to detect the player’s presence, securing a single pathway to the player’s direction can make it easier to blow enemies away with a shot from theMGL-6. In emergencies,Heaven & Hellshould pack enough of a punch to get enemies away from players up close.
(Launcher) RPG-7
Supremo
Exterminador
Players who want to wreak havoc in thesetting of thisFar Crygameshould consider theOne-Two Punch Combofor its reliance on sheer firepower to overwhelm enemies. TheExterminador’s homing rockets could make for a mean combat starter at a distance. Messier short-to-mid-range incursions could be accomplished by theAK-47, which can be made deadlier to elite foes with Armor Piercing Rounds.
Meanwhile, dispatching enemies up close is done easily with theKSGand its more stable and average shot-by-shot firepower. Should enemies try bringing in the big guns, theRPG-7could deal with tanks and other vehicles with relative ease. In case of emergencies, a silenced M9 could finish opponents or give players enough room to run and reload their kit.
