In closer quarters this becomes agonizing. The point is, you’d essentially need two separate sniper rifles with different types of ammo to take down enemies from range. But if your sniper rifle is modded for standard rounds you won’t be able to one-shot heavies if it’s modded for armor-piercing rounds you won’t be able to one-shot other types of enemies. If you want to take down enemies at a distance, you’ll need a sniper rifle. You basically get 4 weapons at a time, one of which is your Supremo. So “heavy” guards and “light” guards are now more easily killed with two different ammo types, for instance, and you can mod your weapons accordingly. While much of this is just par for the course with a new Far Cry, there is one change in Far Cry 6 that is so decidedly awful I’m not sure I can emphasize how badly I want Ubisoft to change it before October 7th when the game comes out.Įnemies now have different vulnerabilities to different types of ammo. Again, this is a problem with tone: Ubisoft doesn’t know if it wants to make a serious first-person shooter with a grounded narrative or a wacky sandbox with a silly narrative, and so it waffles endlessly between the two. Like that game, Far Cry 6’s Supremo and other DIY weapons never make the gameplay as over-the-top as you’d hope. Zanier weapons? Yeah, Far Cry 5 already started down that path and it didn’t make that game any better. But the formula is more predictable than ever. Far Cry 3 was widely praised when it released and it really was a great game, but now three main games later, almost a decade after its release, we’re still largely doing the same things, for better or worse. Both Far Cry and Far Cry 2 are quite a bit different from what followed. There are callouts to Far Cry 3-burning fields of genetically altered tobacco is a direct nod to that game ’s pot-burning mission-which makes you reminisce fondly about that 2012 game.įar Cry 3 was the first game in the series to really set the formula for what we have now. This, of course, is nothing new for the series.
If you get a bit of tonal whiplash while playing don’t be surprised. Far Cry 6 is the ultimate AAA open-world game, at once attempting to be a Very Serious game about colonialism and tyranny and a goofy FPS sandbox extravaganza.
