From mods, harder difficulties, to challenges, these are the best ways to shake up a second playthrough of Far Cry 6 to create a fresh experience that may even change the opinions of some players who challenged Anton Castillo during the guerrilla revolution.

8 Play As A Different Dani Rojas

A Fresh Voice To Hear In The Story

Male Dani: Sean Rey
Female Dani: Nisa Gunduz

While Far Cry 5 didn't have the main protagonist voiced, players were thankful that Far Cry 6 returned 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 in Far 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 the Far Cry franchise can instantly feel fresher through playing as the other Dani and hearing how they approach the various dialogue.

7 Attempt A Harder Difficulty

Guerrilla Mode Adds A Much-Needed Challenge

Players who are looking for a challenge when playing Far Cry 6 again may shake things up by starting the game again at a harder difficulty. The Guerrilla Mode in Far Cry 6 is 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 be the most challenging experience in Far 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.

6 Explore Yara With A Friend

Co-Op Can Make For A Better Time

Like many other Far Cry games, Far Cry 6 is 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.

5 Try Out Some Mods

Freshen Up The Open World And Fix Some Issues

Another great way to shake up a second playthrough of Far Cry 6 is with a handful 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 of Far Cry. Some of these mods can make a second playthrough of Far Cry 6 a lot easier, or harder for those that enjoy mods that add realism.

4 Experiment 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 like Far 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.

3 Create 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.

Best Vehicles In Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6's open-world environment can be traversed with a variety of vehicles. Here are the best players can expect to find.

Some great ways to create a challenge run may be turning off the entire HUD to make the game feel more realistic and 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.

2 Complete 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 of Far Cry 6 that 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 in Far 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.

1 Start Again With New Game Plus

Great For Any Game Completionist

A final great way to shape up a second playthrough of Far Cry 6 is 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 up any forgotten achievements or 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.
