Types of Animals

Mythical Animal

Far Cry 6 Sanguinario Thumbnail.png
Mythical Animals are the apex predators of the Yaran wild. They are toughest and meanest animals you will find and it takes a lot to take them down. Bringing them down will make them vanish from the map forever.
Mythical Animal Locations

Alpha Animal

Far Cry 6 Alpha Animal Thumbnail.png
Alpha Animals are stronger variants of the regular wild animals. While they are tougher, they are not as tough as Mythical Animals and will respawn randomly across the map.

Wild Animal

How to Hunt Animals

Have the Hunter's Lodge

Far Cry 6 Alpha Animal 03.png

Unlocking the Hunter's Lodge facility will not only net you access to the Animal Set, it will also give you locations for the hunting grounds of several animals for a few Yaran pesos.

Upgrading the Hunter's Lodge to its maximum level also gives you the benefit of using your regular weapons against animals without damaging their meat.

Equip the Animal Set

While it will take a while especially if you are on Action Mode, you will need to defeat the Mythical Beasts to acquire this set which has some gear that have effects suited for hunting.

Gear Effect
Primal Mask
Head Gear		 Predator Sense
Automatically tag nearby animals
Primal Vest
Chest Gear		 Animal Detection Reduction
Get closer to animals before they attack.
Primal Bracer
Wrist Gear		 Big-Game Carver
Improves amount of animal meat scavenged.
Primal Pants
Leg Gear		 Big Quiver
Improves arrow reserve.
Primal Boots
Foot Gear		 Swift Predator
Greatly improves move speed after killing an animal.

Don't Use Guns

If you cannot access the maximum level of the Hunter's Lodge yet, then, don't use guns as these will damage the animal's meat and instead of acquiring their meat, it may turn into damaged meat/fish. The exception are birds which will always yield their meat even when you use guns.

Preferably, use your machete or bows in order to ensure the meat stays undamaged.
