Far Cry 6's Early Game Rewards Ensure You're Well Equipped to Dominate Yara—Long-Range Precision or Close Quarters Combat.

.308 Carbine
☆ 2 Sniper Rifle

The .308 Carbine represents a rank 2 sniper rifle, which is a good starting weapon for early-game players with quite a solid base set of statistics. Although the base stats are pretty modest, it does come with four attachment slots and one statistic-boosting mod slot, so really there's a lot that can be done to make the weapon special. While not truly rivaling later-game counterparts, such as the SVD and the MBP, the .308 Carbine can turn out to be a quite sturdy companion throughout the early stages of this game. It can be purchased from Juan's Arms Dealers at rank 4+ or Guerrilla Garrisons at rank 1+, or found in a chest outside Gabriel Castillo Public School, Lozania.

RPG-7
☆ Rocket Launcher

The RPG-7 rocket launcher is a powerful weapon against the annoying choppers and aircraft that seem to rule the skies so much in Far Cry 6. This rank 2 weapon, purchasable at Juan Arms Dealers or Guerrilla Garrisons, can knock aerial threats out of the sky with a well-placed shot or two. Whether you loot it from an FND chest or buy it flat out, the RPG-7 is indispensable to any player seeking to gain leverage in the struggle against the regime.

SVD
☆ 3 Sniper Rifle

The SVD sniper rifle is available via two methods: bought from Juan Arms Dealers or looted from the FND cache in the main office of the GDP Oil Platform. Unlike the MBP .50 but like the SVD, there is no need to reload after each shot, which allows for a very skilled player like Dani to kill multiple targets quickly.

Buying it from a Guerrilla Garrison is much faster, though. Dani needs only to reach rank 2 to unlock the SVD at a Garrison, compared to rank 9 at Juan Arms Dealers.

MBP .50
☆ 4 Sniper Rifle

The MBP .50, an extremely destructive sniper rifle in Far Cry 6, can be gained through the Guerrilla Garrisons. With this powerful weapon—one-shot kill without headshots when fully upgraded—it really is a valuable armament to a stealth player and also a player targeting highly armored enemies, like helicopters and vehicles.

The MBP .50 will be available upon constructing a Guerrilla Garrison at one of three major camps around Yara. It can be Montero Farm, Camp Maximas, or Patriota's Peak. Once the Garrison is built, this weapon will become available in the shop for 4 Ranks.

Compound Bow
☆ 3 Bow

The Compound Bow, a stealthy yet devastating weapon, is located in the Guerilla Garrison. Plunder the FND chest inside Verdera's church in Madrugada to get it. The weapon is developed and designed to engage both Stealth and Firepower. Its modified design will ensure sharp accuracy for silent, deadly headshots that avoid detection.

Turning it into an even greater weapon with Blast Arrows, the Compound Bow is now turned into an even stronger device. Detonating projectile ammunition that can destroy even armored vehicles like helicopters and APCs, disable anti-aircraft cannons, destroy propaganda, or kill several enemies at once.

MS16 S
☆ 1 Rifle

As early as the "Juan of a Kind" story quest in Igla Santuario, one is able to acquire two of the most versatile rifles. Dubbed MS16 S and its variant MS16 L, these guns are available at Rank 1 and on the first island.

Known for their versatility, the MS16 rifles have become a favorite among players. Taking the necessary changes, like sighting scopes and armor-piercing rounds, the weapons become truly devastating. Add a silencer to this ensemble, and the MS16 becomes an impressive 15-round medium-range sniper rifle for those desiring a stealth approach.

SSGP-58
☆ 4 Rifle

One can get the reliable early-game weapon MS16 S from Juan's Arms Dealers or farm chests with FND in True Yaran Academy. While serviceable, it gets blown completely out of the water by the rank 4 unlocked SSGP-58 assault rifle.

The SSGP-58 is an extremely accurate rifle, and with some good modifications, it can prove to be one of the most fearsome weapons of Far Cry 6. A compensator might still improve its handling and recoil, thus giving it better accuracy. Blast Rounds are an addition for those in search of something strong against armored vehicles like helicopters.

MP7
☆ 4 SMG

The MP7 is one of the great SMGs available in Far Cry 6, with extreme firepower and great maneuverability. One can acquire this from Juan's Arms Dealers or in a Guerilla Garrison, available in one of Yara's three main base camps. Of course, those looking for something a bit more unconventional will find this valuable weapon in the FND chest northeast of Diamante Checkpoint E in Valle De Oro.

The fast fire rate and high accuracy make the MP7 a reliable weapon in hellish firefights. On the other hand, mods enhance the damage potential of this weapon, while Gut-Wrencher is effective for those who want less accuracy with a more powerful punch.

M9
☆ Pistol

This M9 sidearm, perhaps more deceptively potent than most other weapons in Far Cry 6, can be acquired by raiding a stronghold near the Mogote Foothills Checkpoint in Madrugada from either Guerrilla Garrisons or Juan's Arms Dealers. As much as it will make its way into one of Dani's earliest acquisitions, this pistol never actually becomes ineffective due to its versatility.

Armor-Rounds, silencer, and micro-flex sight are attachments that really bring out the M9's stealth capabilities. This setup makes it a silent assassin capable of killing people in its sleep with lethal headshots. Attach the Headshot Supremo for faster Supremo charging, and this gun becomes really deadly in stealth gameplay.

P226
☆ Pistol UNIQUE

The P226 is an extremely potent sidearm, available once "The Lion's Den" mission is completed. While it is one of the most highly acquired weapons, it does have sufficient customizing options so that it becomes handy to keep in your arsenal. You will be provided with a P226 at the mission's outset, which is going to replace whatever sidearm you are equipped with. If you like, you can change it to another sidearm anytime.

Known for its high Accuracy and Stealth, this gun has a pretty respectable 410 RPM and 10-round magazine capacity. You can equip three mods and four attachment mods to really make it yours: Ammo, Muzzle, Optical, and Pointer.

Surf & Turf
☆ 3 Rifle (Unique)

Surf & Turf is an unique rifle obtained by completing the "Crocodile Tears" Treasure Hunt side quest in Madrugada. You'll have to finish the quest in order to obtain this weapon. Travel to the Ortega Croc Farm in Aquas Lindas. Upon entering the area, you will find a note left by Luis at the booth where he was supposed to work. He wrote of some key to a hidden cache, but unfortunately, he was killed by his pet crocodile, Beatriz, that also swallowed the key.

You'll find Beatriz in the building where you've discovered the body of Luis. Kill it and you will then be able to use the grappling hook to gain entry into Luis' locked room (with the red door). Inside is the Surf & Turf rifle.

This powerful weapon comes with two attachment mods: Armor Piercing Rounds and ACOG Sight, and two mods: Extended Mag and High Ground. With a rate of fire at 133 RPM and a capacity of 20 rounds thanks to an extended mag, the Surf & Turf is quite a formidable combat weapon on its own. Its High Ground mod enhances damage toward those enemies below, which could be useful in some situations. Its armor-piercing rounds, capable of penetrating helmets and armor, bring this rifle close to a made-to-kill hard targets engine.

One Ping Only
☆ Rifle (Unique)

After completing the key mission "The Lion's Den," you will receive the unique weapon One Ping Only rifle. It's like a P226. The One Ping Only cannot be upgraded at workbench unlike its predecessor. Still, its advantages more than balance this weakness, especially during the last mission.

Armed with armor-piercing rounds, the One Ping Only is better suited to stealth purposes than its counterpart, at the cost of marginally lower damage and accuracy. This gun does not have an ACOG Sight for use at mid-range but does bring 900 RPM to the table, giving users an excellent rate of fire to take down enemies at point-blank.

Now that you know how to get the best weapons in Far Cry 6, we hope you can milk the most out of your arsenal.
