How to Get Bows

How to Get the Best Bows Early

Bullseye

Map Location Contraband Location
Far Cry 6 - Bullseye Map Location
Far Cry 6 - Bullseye Weapon Location

The easiest unique bow that you can get as soon as you get off of Isla Santuario is the Bullseye. To gain it, you will need to travel to El Este and head towards the point in the map above, due west of the map marker for Verde Lake in the Sierra Perdida region of the area.

Search for a cage with the Yaran Contraband inside of it – you will need to shoot the door in order to get to the weapon.

Objectives
1

Head to the Location
The closest checkpoint that can serve as map marker for you is the Robustas Hill Checkpoint. From there, head north towards a small enemy guarded area to the side of the road.
2 Far Cry 6 - Cage.png
Search for the Chest
At the area, you will have to search for a cage with red-orange markings – there will be two in the area, and your goal is the second one, which is the furthest one from the road. The bow will be inside.

Recurve Bow

How to Get Bows.jpg

You can easily obtain the Recurve Bow by building the Guerrilla Garrison Camp Facility in one of the Guerrilla Camps, which makes it an easier bow to get compared to the rarer Compound Bow. Once built, give the shop a visit and grab a Bow with your Yaran Pesos.

El Capirote

Far Cry 6 - How to Get El Capirote Early.png
Similar to the Recurve Bow, the El Capirote also requires you to build a camp facility – the Hunter's Lodge – in order to get the bow to add to your Arsenal. Simply build the Hunter's Lodge in your Guerrilla Camp and the bow will automatically be given to you.
