Far Cry 6 continues the series' tradition of offering a wide variety of weapons and vehicles. Players can explore the open-world environment using different means of transportation and engage in combat using diverse firearms.
The game features Amigos, animal companions that can aid the player in various ways. These include a loyal dog named Chorizo and a crocodile named Guapo.
The Resolver system allows players to craft makeshift weapons and gear from everyday items found throughout the game world. This adds a layer of creativity to the gameplay.
Far Cry 6 explores political themes, with a focus on the consequences of dictatorship, rebellion, and the impact on the lives of the people in Yara.
