Six Reasons We’re Excited About Far Cry 6

Far Cry is one of Ubisoft’s marquee series. When a new entry is announced, like the next Far Cry 6You can bet a lot of us perk up hearing that, thinking about the massive new open world to explore, the unpredictable and open gameplay we’ll have, and the larger-than-life characters we’ll get to. meet. It is these and other reasons that we are incredibly excited to dive in and visit Far Cry 6Yara Island when it launches October 7 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.

1: Part of the action

Far Cry 6 You don’t waste time putting it into action. Everything that happens in the first hour of the game seemed like you couldn’t wait to throw yourself into the wild and start causing mayhem. It doesn’t take long until you gain access to abilities like the grappling hook, weapon customization, animal companions, a parachute, and yes, the ability to carry two primary weapons, in addition to your weapon, without spending XP. The heart of Far Cry games is their open nature and massive open worlds, and it’s great that Far Cry 6 he really focuses on getting you into action, and into his huge world, as quickly as possible.

2: resolution workbench

Far Cry 6 Increase the loot routine with the Resolver Workbench; it’s like weapon customization after drinking a six-pack of Red Bull. “Resolver”, as Ubisoft has detailed us before in Xbox Wire, translated from Spanish, means “to solve”. These solving for the situation you are in and having to create the right weapon for the right job. Need to modify a sniper rifle with armor-piercing rounds? Great, done. Do you want to create a machine gun from a spare motorcycle engine? You can do it. How about a rifle that shoots bullets that hit your target? Done.

You can create and modify these resolution weapons by collecting materials found in the world of Far Cry 6. You can also hunt animals and exchange meat for the materials you need. Then go back to your workbench and start tweaking and modifying your weapons to suit what you’re trying to achieve, whether that’s running and shooting some heavy weapons with armor-piercing rounds or enhancing the impact of your arrows. bow for more stealth. as an approach to missions. Like many things in a Far Cry game, the choice and the way you want to approach the missions is yours.

3: Supreme

Supremes are rear-mounted super weapons that are designed to create a large amount of destruction in one go. The first one we got to play with was the Exterminator, which is essentially a mini rocket launcher on the back. With his Armageddon Strike ability, which launches a series of rockets at an enemy, you can quickly deal with a group of soldiers or a truck full of reinforcements with ease. Another one we liked to use later in our demo was Furious, it was like a jetpack that couldn’t really lift off the ground, whose power, Feugo Loco, produces a massive explosive ring that roasts nearby enemies dealing killer AOE damage. There are at least six unique Supremes to create in Far Cry 6 and you can bet I’ll be looking to build them all.

4: Friends

After all those animal companions in Far cry 5, it was great to see this feature reappear Far Cry 6 as friends. While a lot of attention was paid to the introduction of the adorable Chorizo ​​dachshund earlier this year, it was Guapo the crocodile that stole my heart (yes, you can pet him – he’s really the kindest of bois).

Handsome is very useful if you are more of a prosperous type of player in chaos, as he can be sent to attack and kill most of the guards. His Ancient Survivor ability allows him to passively regain health and he can revive himself after being downed in combat. While Chorizo ​​is designed more for stealth players, using its Attention Seeker ability that unleashes its irresistible charm to distract enemies. Each Friend will have their own specialty that can help you Far Cry 6 and can be summoned to your location from almost anywhere, giving you a faithful and useful companion in the game.

5: walks

Considering the massive Far Cry 6 Namely, the ability to summon vehicles via your cell phone is a welcome addition to the series – it’s so much better than having to rush around looking for a set of wheels or a garage to spawn one. Oh, and you can customize them too, like putting a huge gun on top of a 1956 Chevy. It’s all about “Resolve,” remember? These aren’t just fancy attractions that will help you get around the island quickly. These are sleek wheels that can be customized to turn into vehicles of destruction that are ready to roll. Like their weapons, the attractions have a variety of customization slots for offense, defense, and cosmetics, giving us yet another reason to search the island for parts and resources.

6: Anton Castillo

We love a good villain, and the Far Cry series is known for delivering; Vaas of Far cry 3 it is one of my all time favorites. Now, with Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad,” “The Mandalorian”) in the shoes of Yara’s dictator, Antón Castillo, we can’t wait to see more.

Not only is the island of Yara a tropical paradise ruled by dictator Antón Castillo, but it is also home to the cancer drug Viviro, which is grown by modifying the tobacco grown naturally on the island. Castillo wants to use this to put Yara on the map, but he’s farming at the cost of the lives of Yara’s citizens. He loves his country and he could save the world with this life-saving drug, but it is clear that he loves power more and wants to make sure his legacy continues through his son, Diego. So there are a lot of tricky ingredients here that can make Castillo a compelling villain, who also finds himself dealing with a bit of a lift on his hands thanks to yours for real.

The good news is that we don’t have to wait long to get this revolution going! Far Cry 6 will be released for Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S on October 7.
