Last night's Far Cry 6 announcement trailer took itself pretty seriously, but if you were to dig a little deeper, you'll find out that this will probably still be an experience full of comical stupidity. Alongside the pre-order bonus of a Libertad skin for your canine companion, the Collector's Edition also includes a flamethrower. It's just a 72cm replica that doesn't actually spit flames, but it is an inclusion reminiscent of past high-priced editions that put dumb fun at the forefront of the tropical excursion.
The Collector's Edition also confirms that Far Cry 6 will receive three pieces of post-launch DLC via a season pass. As far as physical goods go, you'll also get your hands on a collector's case, an artbook, 10 stickers, an exclusive steelbook and soundtrack, a chorizo keyring, and a map of Yara. Instructions on how to put together the flamethrower and a stand to mount it on will also be included. This all retails for a hefty $199.99.
Do you want to add the Far Cry 6 Collector's Edition to your video game-related pile of merchandise? Explain why in the comments below.

The gun looks good but it would all just sit in a box as I don't have the space to have it on show.
I normally get the deluxe edition to get the in game treats but these special editions are just a bit too expensive given that I could have 3 PS5 games for the same price it's a no brainer.
It doesn't actually spit flames? Preorder cancelled.
If it was a real one what spit flames then i would happily pay that price tag.
Will definitely buy the game as I enjoy the Far Cry titles, but no interest in this.
MERCHANDISING! MERCHANDISING!
The kids love this one!
Here's hoping that AC Valhalla's Collector's Edition comes with a severed head.
I remember when games were released in complete form the fact they've already got DLC yet they have the cheek to release a game for £50 then expect ime guessing at least another £15 for each DLC? Should be banned it's a joke gettin all this DLC especially when it's already planned before the games even launched!!!
@RIGORR_MORTIS This thing is, I remember those complete games back in the 8- and 16-bit eras taking about 1-3 hours to complete and costing £100 when you adjust for inflation. I prefer a £40 game (I don't think I've ever paid more than that for a physical game for a long time, you just have to shop around) that lasts for 50-100 hours - that also may have optional extra content for an additional charge - rather than £100 for a game that takes 1-3 hours but is "complete".
I mean, if you added up every Mega Man on the NES you're probably looking at like 8-10 hours of content for hundreds of pounds. Each one was complete, though, but was also just a small fragment of what we'd now consider a full game. Nowadays, each Mega Man after the first would be a level pack DLC for £10, not released as a whole new game with just 9 levels for the equivalent of £100 in modern money.
Yeah I get your point I was more comparing them to the Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Playstation 2 generation games like Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, Original Tomb Raiders etc i get what your saying with inflation but imagine for example you had to pay for the extra levels on Goldeneye or a new Costume for Lara or a new level on super mario 64 and I know these games cost millions to make but they make more than enough suppose I still disagree with it but they might get away with the DLC a few months after the games release but to announce 3 DLC and the games not out til February so why not include that in the game upon release if your already working on it
The flamethrower looks like a cool item to have displayed. Honestly I'm glad I don't buy CEs anymore.
You had me at flamethrower 🔥😂
Just think, out there somewhere are people who bought the collectors edition of Assassins Creed Unity. I remind myself of that every time any pro-order tugs at my purse strings. It's a good way to keep your money where it should be until the reviews are out!
Id only buy it if it actually worked...for reasons
you have to imagine that the people who purchase all this junk are starting to run out of space no? do they rent out storage containers?
I wouldnt mind being able to start preordering ps5 games as you dont really see any to preorder in the wild yet.
But is it an Iconic flamethrower?
Is there actually a dog with wheels instead of back legs called chorizo at the bottom
Never understood this kind of thing. The objects that are sold under these pre-order conditions are always cheaply made plastic junk. Very tacky stuff.
Yet they wouldn’t exist if gullible people didn’t fall for it. Let’s be honest, in the realm of fandom who is that bigger fan of Far Cry to justify blowing cash on this?
@Matroska this is an excellent point which many people seem to gloss over.
Virtua Racing and Street Fighter 2 on the Sega Megadrive both retailed for $120 AUD which is $83 USD/$66 UK when they were released. Both of those games could be completed in less than an hour.
Of course on the flip side many games these days (especially open world) are bloated with content to the point they become boring or overwhelming.
DLC and micro transactions are never going away so support the companies that don’t gouge customers or insult customers.
I never buy Activision or EA products, they are disgraceful.
However I will support Capcom who for the most part don’t take the piss and provide free DLC and ongoing support for their titles.
Vote with your wallet!
@Porco yeah it’s so weird that people buy this stuff. I mean, if you’re into statuettes and figurines there are plenty of companies that make high end stuff which is great quality, well sculpted, properly painted.
The stuff in pre order bonuses is trash.
Haha you people crack me up. Work a little harder and you’ll be able to afford anything you want instead of rambling on about $30 here and $100 there.
Probably spend more then that on toilet paper every week but no, can only spend $60 max on a game with collectables. Which will no doubt only rise in value once sold out everywhere.
@Matroska Too True any game from that era Sega in today world would have sold Sonic and Knuckles as DLC for Sonic 3 and charged full price for it. Games like Streets of Rage would have 2 and 3 as DLC as well if they could back then
I loved Far Cry 3 and 4, but hated Far Cry 5 because of the stupid way you could be tranq'd whilst flying 1000ft in the air and then wake up miraculously unharmed in a cell somewhere.
I hope this goes back to the 3 or 4 style and not the 5 joke.
