The La Varita may not look like anything special but this gun packs a punch. It has limited choices for optics but if you can hit your shots, you will only need a few to take down the enemies.

Best Supremos

Exterminador

The very first Exterminator that you get can carry you throughout the game. It can launch a volley of rockets towards enemy groups or vehicles, which can destroy them quickly. Helicopters can be also be targeted by these rockets as they are capable of homing in on a moving target.

Volta

The Volta is what you bring out in cases where vehicles will swarm you. Use its EMP Pulse to leave vehicles vulnerable to hijacking.

Triador

The Triador is great for marking enemies when you are in an open space and you can not seem to find out where you are getting shot from.

While activated, enemies will be highlighted, making them easy to target. When paired with the La Varita, enemies can be shot through walls and they all die in one hit making this the most powerful combo in the game.

How to Get	FND chest in the Sagrado Checkpoint

One of the first Sniper Rifles you'll find in-game, the Yaran SR-A also serves as one of Far Cry 6's best weapons. Although it has inadequate damage when hitting torsos or limbs, it is more than serviceable by providing you with one-hit headshots against enemies.

How to Get	Reward from Clara after The Lucky One

As the first service rifle, you can get in the game, the FAL is more than enough to see you through the first island you'll have to liberate in-game. It is replaceable later on with the AK-47, but is capable of contending with the likes of the AK-M with enough upgrades.

MS-16 S

The MS-16 S is comparable in performance to the SVD, albeit weaker. You can easily convert this rifle into a medium-range sniper with modifications, but it best serves the role of a marksman's rifle capable of dealing damage in close to medium-range.

List of All Weapons

Yara is filled with weapons that you can earn as rewards from missions, buy in shops, or find in various caches found all throughout the country. Gathering all of them will grant you more flexibility in how you wish to approach encounters against your enemies!
