Far Cry 6 Best Gear And Builds Combination

Hare are the Best Far Cry 6 Builds with Gear, highlighting Stealth, Sniper, Melee, and Defense Build alongside all the important items.

One of Far Cry 6’s amazing features is the gear system. For those who don’t know, Far Cry 6 lets you customize your character with different items. These include headgear, chest gear, pants, shoes, and gloves. However, these cosmetic items aren’t just for aesthetic purposes, as all of them have a unique perk attached to them. Earlier, we discussed the best Far Cry 6 hidden weapons you should get. And today, we will talk about Far Cry 6 best gear combinations that can help you in multiple situations.

Key Highlights

Far Cry 6 has added a new feature from previous Far Cry games where you can now equip a combination of gears and perks.

  • Builds include Melee, Sniper, Stealth, and Tank, each catering to different play styles.
  • To optimize a build, players must farm different types of gear, outfits, and weapons.
  • Refer to the guide below for specific gear recommendations tailored to each build.

The following combinations are based on different situations. For instance, one is for those who like to use snipers, while the other is for those who want to increase their defense. You can also replace an item with some other one if you find its perk better. 

Here’s an overview of all the builds in FC6:

Far Cry 6 Melee Build 

The first combination that we would like to suggest consists of items from the Prisoner set, Parkour set, and Triada set. If you have this gear combination equipped, then you will be able to clear out an entire enemy base without taking out your weapons.

Prisoner’s Scarf 

The Prisoner’s Scarf is a 3-star Head Gear item that easily has one of the best perks in Far Cry 6. This is because it lets you perform a takedown on an alerted enemy from the front. For those who don’t know, for a takedown, you must silently approach your target from behind. If they get alerted, you won’t be able to do it. However, with the Prisoner’s Scarf, not only will you get the luxury to perform a takedown from the front but you will be able to perform the task even if the enemy gets alerted.

Prisoner’s Pants

The Prisoner’s Pants is yet another amazing piece of gear that goes well with the Prisoner’s Scarf. It improves your movement speed to a great extent and helps you reach your target even more quickly. Since you’ll be relying on your melee weapon to clear out an entire base of enemies, this is something that will help you do the job quickly. However, keep in mind that this gear will also increase your movement noise. Therefore, it’s not meant for those who like to have a stealthier approach towards clearing bases.

Parkour Kicks

Parkour Strap

Parkour Strap also increases the movement speed. However, it will only work when your weapons are holstered. This won’t be a problem considering the main purpose of this entire set is to help you keep your weapons holstered and only use the melee weapon.

Oluwa’s Heart

To overcome the issue of increased movement noise when using the Prisoner’s Pants, you can replace your chest gear with the Oluwa’s Heart. This gear item can reduce the movement noise, something that can help you move around the enemy’s base without worrying about getting detected.

Oluwa’s Heart

How to get Oluwa’s Heart in Far Cry 6: This item is a little difficult to get as it can only be found in Libertad Crates. Therefore, make sure to open every crate that you see in order to increase your chances of acquiring this item.

Far Cry 6 Sniper Build 

The second best gear combination in Far Cry 6 that we will suggest is designed for those who love to snipe. 

Marksman’s Goggles

The Marksman’s Goggles is made for those who are always running out of ammo. This specific gear will refund the bullet back to your inventory if you manage to land a headshot. In other words, your ammo reserve will remain the same as long as you’re landing headshots. If you’re accurate with snipers, then this gear can help you clear out an entire base of enemies without losing a single bullet.

Marksman’s Jacket

The Marksman’s Jacket is yet another amazing item on our best gear list that is designed for snipers. If equipped, it will improve the hold breath duration. This is really useful considering breath control is important if you want to land accurate headshots.

Marksman’s Pants

Just like the Goggles, the Marksman’s Pants can also help you out if you’re someone who always runs out of ammo. When equipped, the pants will improve the sniper ammo reserve. This way, you’ll be able to carry around more sniper rounds than before. But if you don’t have a problem with ammo, then we will suggest you switch these pants with some other one. For instance, you can equip the Oku’s Deliverance Pants as they will allow you to deal more damage to enemies that are below you.

Marksman’s Shoes

If you’re someone who’s always running from here to there in combat, then it will be wise to get the Marksman’s Shoes. This is because this gear can improve your movement speed after you land a headshot.

Marksman’s Gloves

Another thing that can help you accurately land headshots is the Marksman’s Gloves. If you don’t know, good weapon sway is necessary in order to land precise shots on the target. If your weapon is not that good when it comes to swaying, then you’ll most likely miss most of your shots. However, the Marksman’s Gloves can increase your weapon sway to a great extent and you won’t have to worry about missing your shots anymore.

Far Cry 6 Stealth Gear 

The third gear set combination that we will suggest is designed for those who like to have a stealthier approach towards taking down enemies. 

Ida’s Sigil

Ida’s Sigil is a really useful gear in Far Cry 6 as it can help you out during nighttime. It can get quite tough to spot enemies at night, but with the Ida’s Sigil equipped, you’ll be able to see them easily. This is because it will highlight all nearby soldiers and animals. This way, you won’t have to worry about climbing a tower first to scan the area and spot enemies as this headgear will do this job for you. However, keep in mind that it won’t highlight enemies that are far away so make sure they are within the range.

As mentioned above, Oluwa’s Heart is capable of reducing the amount of noise you make while moving. This will allow you to sneak behind your enemies without worrying about them hearing your footsteps.

Oku’s Deliverance 

Oku’s Deliverance is another item that has earned itself a spot in our Far Cry 6 best gear list. When equipped, it will increase the amount of damage your weapons deal when you’re targeting someone below you. This means that you will be able to take them down in only a few shots.

Mimo Abosi’s Mirage

The Mimo Abosi’s Mirage works just like Oluwa’s Heart as it also reduces the movement noise. You can either use both to completely eliminate the sound you make while walking. Or, you can replace one of them with some other gear.

Far Cry 6 Maximum Defense Build 

The fourth and final set that we would like to mention is the MK II Blast. This set is designed for those who want the maximum amount of defense.

MK II Blast Set 

The MK II Blast Set is easily one of the best Far Cry 6 gear sets as it can make you indestructible. All of the items focus on increasing your blast defense and can help you take on a tank from the front. However, in order to get the maximum amount of protection, you will need to make sure you have the entire set equipped. 

Far Cry 6 Best Gear
Impact Helmet MK II

This is mainly because if you have only the helmet equipped, then you’ll be left with around 20% of your health after getting hit by a grenade. If you have two items of the set equipped, then you’ll have around 35% health left after getting caught inside an explosion. However, with everything equipped, you’ll be left with more than 85% of your health. Even if you receive a full shot to the face from a tank, it will only take away 50% of your health. However, since you’ll get caught on fire after getting hit by a tank, we recommend you replace the gloves of the set with the Fuego Mitts Wrist Gear as it will automatically put out the fire. 

The MK II Blast includes the following items: 

  • Impact Helmet MK II – Greatly improves blast defense. 
  • Impact Vest MK II – Improves blast and soft-target round defense. 
  • Impact Slacks MK II – Greatly improves blast defense. 
  • Impact Boots MK II – Greatly improves blast defense, slightly impairs stamina capacity. 
  • Impact Gloves MK II – Greatly improves self-inflicted blast defense. 

How to get the MK II Blast set in Far Cry 6: The entire MK II Blast set can be purchased from Bandidos Barracks or from Juan’s Arms Dealers. If you’re lucky enough, then you might even find it in Libertad crates.  

This was all regarding our Far Cry 6 gear combinations guide. We hope that it will help you select the right type of gear for your character. Keep in mind that the list is based on personal preference and you might find some other items better than these ones. Before you leave, make sure to check out our Far Cry 6 review as well.
