Please note this guide is a work in progress, so if we haven't gotten around to covering a puzzle or aspect you're having trouble with just yet, be sure to check back in the near future.

Far Cry 6 Guide: All Collectibles

Far Cry 6 has 207 collectibles to find. However, the vast majority of them aren't needed to unlock Trophies and therefore are completely optional if you are trying to get the Platinum Trophy. You can view any collectibles you've already found by pressing the touchpad and scrolling to the Collection tab. Our guides focus on collectibles that do unlock Trophies.

  • Roosters are animals you'll find locked inside big wooden boxes throughout the regions of Yara. Once found and interacted with, they can be used in cockfighting matches. On the map, the icon is in the shape of a box.
  • USB Songs take the shape of small USB sticks in the game world, and collecting them unlocks new songs for use in the cars you drive. They are represented on the map with an icon of a small white USB stick on top of a black background.
  • Criptograma Charts come in sets of two, which when combined reveal the location of a Criptograma Chest and act as keys. Inside will be a piece of valuable gear. They are marked on the map as a small white chest icon.

Far Cry 6 is split up into four main regions, all containing different types of collectibles. Below you will find guides to all Far Cry 6 collectibles.

Far Cry 6 Guide: Unique Weapons

Far Cry 6 has a large assortment of unique weapons that are located throughout the island of Yara, all complete with their own look, attachments, and stats. While the game does provide hints to get you started, finding all of them won't be easy. Linked below is a guide sharing the locations of every unique weapon.

Far Cry 6 Guide: Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Far Cry 6 allows you to select from either an action mode or story mode at the beginning of the game, tweaking the difficulty to your liking. The game isn't particularly difficult no matter which one you pick, but we have some universal tips and tricks we suggest all players take on board. Read them carefully to make sure you're prepared.

Holster Your Weapon

You're probably used to always having your gun out when playing a Far Cry game, but this sixth mainline entry provides a tantalising reason to put it away. If you play things carefully, you can pass by guards without raising suspicion if you appear to be unarmed and have an easier time completing your objective. Also, some of Anton Castillo's men aren't particularly loyal. If you approach them with a bribe and your guns are out of sight, they'll trade information for cash.

Be Careful in Areas with a Higher Level Than You

Just like other Ubisoft open world games, the various regions of Far Cry 6 now have a level attached to them. This governs the level of difficulty of enemies in the area, but don't let that sway you from entering a particular location because you could be in for a tough time. Of course, we don't suggest casually strolling into an area twice your rank with a rocket launcher ready to shoot, but there is some leeway to this system. Play it cool and you can explore some of the tougher environments early on and grab some sweet loot.

That brings us to the end of our Far Cry 6 guide. We hope you found it useful, but if you have any tips and tricks of your own to share, feel free to post them in the comments below.
