Far Cry 6 Best Weapons

The biggest addition to Far Cry 6’s combat is the Resolver and Supremo weapons. Both are special types of weapons that can put you at a great advantage against your enemies. However, even though the number of weapons in the game is high, not all of them are going to help you conquer Yara. There do exist some weapons that you should avoid using at all costs as they won’t help you bag in a lot of kills.

Pistola Sportiva

We’ll begin our list of the Best Far Cry 6 Weapons with the Pistola Sportiva. This weapon is easily one of the best secondary weapons in the entire game. This is mainly because of the fact that it offers amazing handling, something that will let you land your shots accurately on your targets.

Pistols In Far Cry 6 are mainly used for only close-ranged combat as you only take them out when you don’t have the time to reload your primary weapon. However, as for the Pistola Sportiva, it is a pistol that can even assist you in mid-ranged combat. What more could you want from a pistol? Overall, it’s a great weapon to have in the loadout. 

Pistola Sportiva Location In Far Cry 6: Unique weapons are rare and you cannot purchase such weapons from shops. They can only be acquired by searching for them at a specific location. As for Pistol Sportiva, it can be found at the El Maraton Field which is located in West Lado.

MP40

MP 40

1.53.76.555032

The MP40 is yet another weapon on our list that can help you bag in some kills quickly. Since it’s an SMG, its rate of fire is high and it also offers great handling. The weapon has a clip size of 32 bullets, which is decent. 

Just like the above-mentioned weapon, the MP40 In Far Cry 6 is also designed in such a way that it can help you in both close and mid-ranged combat, and this is all thanks to its amazing accuracy. The only thing I found bad about the weapon is its low damage output, but that can be easily overlooked if you’re someone who can easily control the weapon’s fire stream. You can also further improve its stats by upgrading it in the workshop.  

MP40 Location In Far Cry 6: The MP40 can be found in a chest at the Monjas Valley. Since this is going to be one of the first areas that you’re going to explore in the game, you’ll be able to acquire this weapon during the early stages. 

RMS-18

RMS-18

4.53.25.412012

I’ve always been a big fan of the shotguns that were available in the previous games of the series, and Far Cry 6 hasn’t disappointed me in this scenario as well. I have always kept a shotgun in my loadout as they are the perfect weapon for close-range combat. Just one shot and your enemy will be gone for good.

In Far Cry 6 Weapons Library, I found the RMS-18 as one of the best shotguns to use. Its damage output is amazing at close range and you can take down your enemy in a single shot if they aren’t wearing any big armor. 

RMS-18 Location In Far Cry 6: Since the RMS-18 is a regular weapon, you can purchase it directly from the Guerrilla Garrison. But if you’re not planning to spend any money on it, then you can simply search for it in military-controlled zones. 

BP

The BP SMG is yet another SMG that we would like to mention on our Far Cry 6 Best Weapons list. The interesting thing about this weapon is that you can find it during the early stages of the game. I managed to get my hands on it before I even went to the Montero Farm. 

The thing which makes BP one of the best SMGs to use in Fary Cry 6 is its rate of fire. In fact, the weapon fires more bullets in a second than most of the other SMGs present in the game. Its damage output is low, but this won’t be a problem since you’ll be able to spray more bullets into your enemy. 

How to get BP SMG In Far Cry 6: Just like the RMS-18, you can purchase the BP SMG from the Guerrilla Garrison or you can find it in military-controlled zones. 

El Florecer

El Florecer

4.73.86.81507

I was looking for a weapon that would help me become Rick from The Walking Dead. While I failed to find a .44 Magnum in the game, I did get my hands on the El Florecer Pistol. The weapon might not be as powerful as the weapon used by Rick, but it is still something that can help you annihilate your enemy. 

The precise handling offered by the El Florecer easily makes it one of the best pistols available in the game. You’ll also fall in love with its design as it was hand-crated in 1865. While revolvers are mostly ideal in close-range situations, the El Florecer can also perform well in mid-range scenarios. Therefore, you can completely rely on this weapon for both situations. 

How to Get El Florecer Pistol In Far Cry 6: To get your hands on the El Florecer Pistol In Far Cry 6, you will need to first visit Fontana Fort. Once you’ve reached the fort, make your way into Admiral Benitez’s office and you’ll be able to find the El Florecer there. 

Supercharger

Another shotgun that I would like to mention on our best Far Cry 6 weapons list is the Supercharger. Unlike the RMS-18 shotgun that we mentioned above, the Supercharger is a unique weapon and has its own perks. Its damage output is also massive and you can take down your target in a single shot. 

The thing about shotguns In Far Cry 6 is that they are extremely loud. Your enemies can hear its sound from far away, and they will surround you in no time if that happens. However, what I love about the Supercharger is that it comes with a suppressor, something that can help you take down enemies without creating any noise. 

How to get Supercharger Shotgun: The Supercharger can be found at the GDP Oil Platform which is located in Cobre Shores. Once you reach the said location, make your way into the control room and press the red button to make the crane lift the container from your way. The Supercharger will be waiting for you to pick it up in the second container. 

6P13 Auto

6P13 Auto

1.52.96.485040

The 6P13 Auto Pistol In Far Cry 6 is yet another pistol on our list that can serve as a great sidearm. Unlike the previous pistol we mentioned on our list, this one features an auto-mechanism and will let you empty the magazine on your target within a couple of seconds. 

One thing to keep in mind is that the 6P13 Auto is only efficient in short-range combat. You’ll get disappointed if you use it in mid-range scenarios. This is because of its auto-mechanism so you should only keep it in your arsenal if you want something for close range. Other than that, the weapon is amazing and can take down the target quickly.

How to get 6P13 Auto In Far Cry 6: The 6P13 Auto can be either found in military-controlled zones or can be purchased from the Guerrilla Garrison. 

MP7

MP7

Yes, I know, this is the third SMG that we’re mentioning on our list. But what some of you don’t realize is that SMGs are quicker than all of the other weapon types and this is something that always leads to eliminating enemies quickly.

As for the MP7,  just like the above-mentioned SMGs, this one also has an amazing fire rate. Its damage output is better than the previous ones and you can easily take down two or three enemies before reloading. However, that is only if you’re someone who knows how to control their shots. If you’re someone like me, then you’ll most likely empty the mag on a single target. 

How to Get MP7 In Far Cry 6: The MP7 can be bought from the Guerrilla Garrison or you can search for it in military-controlled zones. 

Into Orbit

Far Cry 6 is the type of game in which you can go crazy, and a rocket launcher can help you do that. For this purpose, I will suggest the Into Orbit launcher. While there are a couple of other launchers available in the game, this one seems to perform better than all of them.

The Into Orbit launcher offers amazing accuracy and lets you easily target the enemy’s vehicle. You can even use it against a large group of enemies and it will destroy them within an instant. Its range is also great so you can blow up your target while staying at a safe distance. 

How to get Into Orbit: The Into Orbit launcher can be acquired by completing the Treasure Hunt “Liquid Courage” in Del Toro Port. 

Compound Bow

If you’ve played the previous installments of the Far Cry series, then you already know how much importance the bow holds. It is something that can help you take down enemies and you can even use it while hunting. The best part is that it does its job without ruining your stealth. 

Ubisoft has added a total of four bows in Far Cry 6, and the Compound Bow is easily the best one. Its damage output is great, it’s useful in both mid and long-range scenarios, and is silent. What else would you want from a bow? The amount of damage the bow deals depends upon the draw period. The longer you draw, the more damage it will deal.

How to get Compound Bow In Far Cry 6: The Compound Bow can be acquired by purchasing it through the Guerrilla Garrison or can be found in military-controlled zones. 

AJM 9

1.336.590030

The AJM 9 is easily one of the best side arms available in the game. Just like the 6P13, this is also an auto pistol that can empty its magazine within seconds. However, keep in mind that this weapon is available to only those who have the Blood Dragon pack.

The thing which I personally love about the AJM 9 is that it comes with a built-in suppressor that lets you perform silent kills. Furthermore, its accuracy is also amazing so you won’t have a difficult time controlling this weapon. 

How to get AJM 9 In Far Cry 6: After you complete “The Guerrilla” mission, this weapon will automatically get added to your inventory. But this will happen only if you have the Blood Dragon pack. 

Kobracon

The Kobracon is yet another weapon that can be acquired by those who have the Blood Dragon pack. It’s easily one of the best snipers available in the game and it can help you take down even the toughest of opponents. The weapon has a cyberpunk look and its reload animation is something that I love.

The damage output of Kobracon is absolutely amazing. It comes with a high-powered scope that is meant for “expert snipers.” Overall, the weapon is amazing and it won’t let you down in critical situations. 

How to get it Kobracon In Far Cry 6: Just like the AJM 9, the Kobracon will become available in your inventory after you complete “The Guerrilla” mission. 

Crackle and Pop

LMGs are something that can help you take on multiple enemies at once. In fact, they can even destroy vehicles. In Far Cry 6, Crackle and Pop is the best LMG for me because of its massive firepower. It uses blast rounds, the very type that works well against vehicles. 

Furthermore, the Crackle and Pop LMG has an amazing fire rate and it can help you defend a point well. The only downside about this weapon is its high recoil, something that makes it a little difficult to control. But if you can learn how to use it properly, then this weapon can help you take down an entire fleet of enemies without any hurdles. 

How to get Crackle And Pop In Far Cry 6: To get the Crackle and Pop LMG, you will need to visit the roof of the El Rayo Cinema where the weapon will be waiting for you inside a chest. 

El Tirano

Far Cry 6 Best Weapons
El Tirano

87.54436

If someone asks me about the best sniper in Far Cry 6, then I would definitely mention El Tirano. This is because its damage output is better than almost every other sniper available in the game and it can even pierce through armor. 

The El Tirano comes equipped with a 10x scope something that you usually won’t find with other snipers. Its handling is also better. Overall, it is easily the best sniper available in the game and you won’t regret using it. 

How to get El Tirano: To get the El Tirano, you will need to visit the Escila Fort located in Ventosa Peninsula. The weapon will be above a lighthouse.  

La Varita

La Varita

103.65.43509

The final weapon we would like to mention on our best Fary Cry 6 weapons list is the La Varita. Without a single doubt, this weapon is the best one to use in the game because of many reasons. However, the thing which I personally love about it is its ability to shoot through walls. Furthermore, its damage output is great and you can take down almost every enemy with a single headshot. 

In Far Cry 6, there are times when your enemies are hiding behind the walls and it can get pretty annoying when you’re unable to take them out. This is where La Varita comes in. However, what some of you don’t know is that you can pair this weapon with a Supremo called Triador to create the deadliest combo. While La Varita is able to shoot through walls, Supremo can help you see through walls. Therefore, when you have both things equipped, you’ll know where to hit. 

How to get La Varita: The La Varita can be acquired by completing the Yaran Story called Triada Blessings. This quest will include going on Treasure Hunts. 

Urushi

Urushi is a specialized and improved variant of AR-C Assault Rifle. However, it’s a 4 Star firearm while the latter one is 2. Its Large Cylindrical Suppressor, Silencer, and Armor Piercing Rounds make it an excellent Stealth weapon that can be used anytime for taking a headshot of your enemies.

It inherits the feature of altering its firing style from its parent weapon. This allows gamers the cycle in between Full Auto, Burst & Single shot modes. The burst mode readily gets the enemy down on the ground. Also, the burst mode ensures that players don’t waste ammo. Another feature of Urushi weapon is the Vampiric Triada mode; it twins effectively with rapid-fire rates and escalates the chance of healing as you deal damage

The weapon El Caballero is a unique variant of an existing MGL-6 Grenade Launcher. It’s a more efficient and improved version. El Caballero offers better Handling with a little less Stealth. Its primary convenience is its Incendiary Grenades. They can spread the rapid-fire around and make it a blast zone in no time.
