If you can't find and take them out quickly, you'll find yourself dealing with soldiers coming at you from every angle while bombs drop every 30 seconds. The mortars are a big problem here, as they seem to be everywhere. When everything goes off, the danger seems to come from 360 degrees and this is the first Far Cry I've played where it felt difficult to manage. It might be a result of being put into a pre-saved game, positioning me a few hours into Far Cry 6 without giving me a chance to get acclimated, but I spend a lot of time absolutely scrambling to survive. I found myself trying a lot of weapon combinations when all hell inevitably broke out, as some of the combat currently feels a little unfairly balanced. The only one that felt indispensable was a revolver shotgun which notched into a shield, with its meaty combination of one shots and mobile cover just a joy to unleash. These jerry-rigged contraptions look like cool homemade techno shooters but didn't really seem to stand out when I needed a boost. I also wasn't completely won over by the special guns I got to try. The others вЂ“ things like a healing option, EMP, or flame burst to clear enemies вЂ“ didn't immediately grab my attention in the time I had. One of them вЂ“ which fires a salvo of rockets вЂ“ is an excellent leveller when you feel overrun. In terms of equipment, Ubi has made a big thing about its special weapons and Supremo backpacks, which are basically an ultimate ability.

All this comes from collecting resources to upgrade and unlock things, as well as raising your guerilla rank to access more equipment.

There are perks and abilities attached to weapon mods and armor sets that mean your kit affects your damage, resistances, ammo carrying, and so on. There's an interesting change here though where your abilities largely come from your gear. The guns have a rattly self-made feel, with things like homemade laser pointer red dot sights and so on. The gunplay, when you unholster whatever you're carrying, is satisfying and chaotic. The bases and soldiers have a Far Cry 3 and 4 feel to them, while the way checkpoints dominate Yara's system of roads harkens back to Far Cry 2 вЂ“ there's even city areas where you're able to holster your gun, much like Far Cry 2's ceasefire town of Pala.

In fact, this instalment feels like it's cherry picked from the series history. Yara isn't quite as wilderness heavy as Far Cry 3's Rook Island or Far Cry 4's Kyrat, but not quite as modern as Far Cry 5's Hope County вЂ“ its mix of jungles and mountains, cities, and organised military presence pitches it somewhere between the two ends of the spectrum. The jungle and predominant red accents of the Yaran soldiers colour schemes gives everything a bit of a Far Cry 3 vibe, and overall everything definitely harks back to the third and forth games. The basic action is very, very Far Cry вЂ“ sneaking into bases to try and stealthily take out guards, disabling alarms, and then inevitably messing it up and shooting everything until the shouting stops.
