Summary
While Ubisoft’sFar Cry 6may have been hit or miss with some players, there are reasons for players to revisit the action-packed first-person shooter. After completing it once, the world of Yara becomes the player’s oyster, as they are now free to truly shake up a second playthrough to add some further excitement to the adventures of Dani.
From mods, harder difficulties, to challenges, these are the best ways to shake up a second playthrough ofFar Cry 6to create a fresh experience that may even change the opinions of some playerswho challenged Anton Castilloduring the guerrilla revolution.
8Play As A Different Dani Rojas
A Fresh Voice To Hear In The Story
WhileFar Cry 5didn’t havethe main protagonistvoiced, players were thankful thatFar Cry 6returned with the protagonist Dani Rojas, who had a lot to say at every moment of this action FPS, from battles to cutscenes. Players were still given some choice with their character inFar Cry 6, as Dani can either be male or female.
Once completing the character as one Dani, a second playthrough of the fifth title in theFar Cryfranchise can instantly feel fresher through playing as the other Dani and hearing how they approach the various dialogue.
7Attempt A Harder Difficulty
Guerrilla Mode Adds A Much-Needed Challenge
Players who are looking for a challenge when playingFar Cry 6again may shake things up by starting the game again at a harder difficulty. The Guerrilla Mode inFar Cry 6is a difficulty that players only have access to when starting a new game. Once it has been selected, players are unable to change it.
Guerrilla Mode is supposed to bethe most challenging experienceinFar Cry 6, with not only much harder enemies but also limited ammo and a reduced HUD. With these three changes combined, players are likely to feel that their second playthrough is fresher.
6Explore Yara With A Friend
Co-Op Can Make For A Better Time
Like many otherFar Crygames,Far Cry 6is another title in the franchise that can be enjoyed in the company of another. With online Co-op, Dani no longer has to fight in the revolution alone, as another player can come along to explore the open world of Yara with the player.
Players can not only explore the open world together but also complete the story together too, as both players take on the role of Dani. It should be noted that players cannot jump straight into co-op as soon as they start the game, but must first make progress and then play the rest of the game with a friend.
5Try Out Some Mods
Freshen Up The Open World And Fix Some Issues
Another great way to shake up a second playthrough ofFar Cry 6is with ahandful of mods. Modders are incredibly creative as well as being very helpful with the mods they have created for this first-person shooter.
Players are sure to find some great mods on the Nexus Mod Manager, from mods that either fix or entirely change the Field of View of the camera, to mods that even tweak the gameplay ofFar Cry. Some of these mods can make a second playthrough ofFar Cry 6a lot easier, or harder for those that enjoy mods that add realism.
4Experiment With Different Weapons
Try Out Guns That Were Never Considered Previously
Players naturally tend to fall in love with certain weapons while playing first-person shooters likeFar Cry 6. A second playthrough is a great time for a fresh start and to try something new. This means experimenting with an assortment of weaponry.
A player may deliberately ignore the guns they favored in their first playthrough to instead select other guns, and therefore even try a different playstyle. When a player may have originally gone in guns blazing, a second playthrough could see them keeping their distance with Snipers and favoring silenced weapons.
3Create Exciting Challenges
Turn Off The HUD Or Use As Few Guns As Possible
If mods and the harder difficulty aren’t anywhere near enough of a challenge for the player, they can even create their own challenges to shake things up during this new playthrough. Players are entirely in control of their own gameplay and therefore can decide what mechanics of the game they can do without.
Some great ways to create a challenge run may be turning off the entire HUD to make the gamefeel more realisticand forcing players to carefully aim. Another idea could be only using one main hand weapon and one side arm so that players can reserve their ammo and choose their weaponry carefully, much like a rebel without the arms to spark a revolution without bloodied hands.
2Complete All The Side Content
Ignore The Story And Simply Adventure
During the first playthrough of a game, many players tend to focus on completing the story, which means players tend to forget about the open word ofFar Cry 6that is fully available to them to explore.
During a second playthrough of the action FPS, a player can slow down on the story progress and instead complete the two main activities inFar Cry 6, Yaran Stories and Treasure Hunts. These quests not only unlock various outfits and weapons for the player, but some of these activities can be quite entertaining.
1Start Again With New Game Plus
Great For Any Game Completionist
A final great way to shape up a second playthrough ofFar Cry 6is to try out the New Game Plus mode of the franchise. Although this mode wasn’t available during the release of the game, New Game Plus was added to allow players to start their adventure again without losing all the weapons and collectibles they had collected during their first playthrough.
This mode is perfect for any player who is starting again in hopes of rounding upany forgotten achievementsor attempting to find all the collectibles to be obtained around the map of Yara, which is sure to have the player exploring some locations that have never been seen before.
