Summary
- Yara in Far Cry 6 is vast, so choosing the right vehicle is crucial for efficient traversal and battle tactics.
- From flying tanks to speedy jetskis, the game offers an impressive variety of vehicles to match every playstyle.
- Fast travel and wingsuits are key tools to quickly navigate the island, but weaponized vehicles add extra excitement to gameplay.
Far Cry 6 takes place in the sprawling island country of Yara. Emphasis on the word 'sprawling.' Traversal is unarguably one of the most time-consuming obstacles players will face when playing Far Cry 6. Players eventually have the choice to fast-travel or use their wingsuit to get to where they need to go, but finding a good way to ride around Yara is vital to experiencing its beauty.
The 17 Best Far Cry 5 Mods, Ranked
Far Cry 5 is a great game on its own, but these creative mods add something special to it.
Deciding which vehicle to use can be overwhelming. Far Cry 6 has an enormous variety of vehicles to choose from, and which vehicle best suits a player's playstyle may differ from person to person, but it wouldn't be a modern Far Cry game if you couldn't fly around causing havoc in a helicopter.
Updated on April 27th, 2024, by Jeff Drake: Vehicles play an incredibly important role in open-world games. They are not merely a means of conveyance; the right vehicle can make an almost impossible mission easy, allow the player to zip around the map, or provide weapons that are otherwise unusable by a human - like a tank cannon. Vehicles also let players make a statement to other players if the game is multiplayer, or can help round out the virtaul personality of a customized character. The list below has been expanded with this update, giving even more options to players looking for the best vehicular ways to get around Yara in Far Cry 6.
23 1968 Garin Varona CT
A Flying Tank
The 1968 Garin Varona CT is basically a flying tank. It can lay waste to the region, and take a serious amount of damage before it's rendered unusable. This variant of the Varona comes equipped with a bulletproof windshield and a mounted machine gun for some added toughness.
This vehicle suits nearly every need due to its ruggedness, powerful weapons, and the ability to take off and land vertically. Being able to fly to a destination also greatly shortens travel time. Getting this helicopter requires causing mayhem in urban areas; a tank is the best vehicle for this job. When a 1968 Garin Varona CT arrives to deal with the mayhem, use an EMP weapon to force it to land.
22 ALHV-2
Capable Of Travelling On Land Or Sea
This tactically useful forced-air hovercraft is capable of traveling over land and sea equally well. Hovercraft have their uses, but in general they try to do too much and wind up being not as good as either a car or a boat. The fact this vehicle can go from sea to land seamlessly, and perform well on both, helps execute missions in difficult to reach areas.
The ALHV-2 also has the benefit of two forward-facing mounted machine guns. This lets the player clear the path when in enemy territory, or while making a hasty getaway. These vehicles will spawn around guerrilla hideouts and similar locations.
21 1963 Hard Top Jengo Warden
An Off-Road Vehicle With A Mounted Machine Gun
There are miles and miles of roads in Far Cry 6. The game is played on a tropical island dominated by lush jungles and impassible terrain. Areas like this are perfect for the Jengo Warden, which is essentially a type of jeep. This vehicle performs well on paved surfaces, but unlike many land vehicles, the Warden performs well off-road as well.
This variant comes with a turret mounted machine gun behind the driver. This works better with a passenger, but provides a powerful weapon should the driver need to stop and defend themselves. It's not exactly a sports car, but a sports car isn't designed to go off-road either.
20 Wingsuit
Glide Quietly To A Destination
Most seasoned Far Cry 6 players will tell beginners that the best method of travel in Far Cry 6 is to fast travel to an area via aerial drop points, then use the Wingsuit to fly to the destination before deploying the parachute. This is not only faster but gives the player a bird's eye view of the destination.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the player is extremely vulnerable when flying in the wingsuit. The smallest collision is typically fatal. Just be sure to pop the parachute when the trees start getting close.
19 1998 Sokudo Aquablast Water Foul
A Jetski With Mounted Machine Guns
When traveling over water, there are few vehicles better than the jet ski, or boatercycle. They are the fastest water vehicle in the game, and handle surprisingly well - for a watercraft, anyway. The drawbacks to the jet ski are they are only built for one person, and they can't take much damage before being disabled.
Every Far Cry Game, Ranked
Ubisoft's Far Cry franchise contains some of the best games the company has ever developed. Here is every game in the series, ranked.
The Aquablast Water Foul is a standard jet ski but with twin-mounted light machine guns. The blazing speed, maneuverability, small size, and built-in weaponry make this the go-to combat water vehicle; the only exception being the Salacia RHIB Z-600.
18 Pure Muscle
Get Around Yara In A Classic Muscle Car
For players of Far Cry 5, one of the more favored vehicles was the Pygmalion SSR. This car was clearly inspired by the muscle cars of the 1970s; specifically, the Pontiac Trans Am. This vehicle was built for speed, handles well, and has enough power to push through roadblocks.
Pure Muscle is only available with the purchase of the Bad BoyBilly Bundle. This is also about the only reason to buy the Bad Boy Billy Bundle, unless players really, really, want their character to be dressed like a pool lifeguard.
17 1988 Sokudo Mountaineer 4x4 Turbo
Great On Any Terrain
"My little mule, Pepe". Staying on the road is not always an option in open-world games - at least not ones that involve combat like Far Cry 6. High-speed chases (or getaways) can frequently go off-road. For times like that, players will want something that can handle the rough terrain with the ease with which most cars travel on a paved road.
There are many off-road vehicles in Far Cry 6; though, many of those vehicles are designed specifically for off-road driving and are not able to outperform regular cars while on a road. The Mountaineer 4x4 Turbo is equally versatile off-road or on.
16 Yarapunk Street Samurai
Quick And Nimble Street Racer
So many vehicles in Far Cry 6 are vintage autos. There's nothing wrong with that, but sometimes a player wants to drive something a little sleeker than a sedan from circa 1957. Those players should get the Yarapunk Street Samurai. This is perhaps the most modern-looking car in the game and is one of the best-performing cars available.
Unfortunately, the Street Samurai is not part of the base game. This car is included in the Yarapunk Bundle.DLC, and one of the main reasons to purchase this DLC package.
15 Mogote Zebra
An Exotic Zebra Mount
The Mogote Zebra may not be the fastest or toughest vehicle choice, but who doesn't want to ride around on an exotic animal? There are no offensive or defensive perks to the Zebra, but players can use a sidearm gun or melee weapon while riding, so that's at least a plus.
The Mogote Zebra is one of the horse variants available in the game and can be obtained during story progression, specifically upon finishing Break the Chains mission. The Mogote Zebra is one of Anton Castillo's prized possessions, so stealing it for personal use may bring some enjoyment.
14 Croco Taxi
Not Fast Or Rugged, Just Cool
The Croco Taxi is one of the sillier vehicles in Far Cry 6. What the Croco Taxi lacks in speed and overall usefulness, it makes up for in brilliance. It's a giant crocodile head. And a small taxi. There isn't much more to be said about how cool this vehicle is, but it is amusingly unique.
Players can find the Croco Taxi at a few different locations around the map, sometimes around the coasts of Esperanza.
