Alpha Animals are special wild animals found in Far Cry 6. Find out where they can be commonly found and what items they drop.

Alpha Animal Locations

There are 3 confirmed Alpha Animals: Alpha Coyote, Alpha Crocodile, and Alpha Jaguar.

Alpha Animals can be found randomly across the island of Yara. However, they can be more reliably (although still rare) found on the hunting spots of their respective regular animal variants. Check the list below.

How to Hunt Alpha Animals

What makes Alpha Animals good to hunt is that they drop Alpha Meat which can be exchanged later on for Industrial Circuits. Industrial Circuits are extremely useful as they can in turn be exchanged for some of the higher ranking equipment.

Construct and Upgrade the Hunter's Lodge

The Hunter's Lodge is a Camp Facility that is in charge of supplying you with information with regards to hunting spots for all animals in Yara, including mythical ones. They are also the only known sellers of the Animal Set which will make hunting regular animals way more efficient.

Further, if you upgrade the Hunter's Lodge to the maximum, you can hunt down animals using guns without damaging their meat, making it far easier to hunt down these animals.

Equip the Animal Set

Of the entire set, the Primal Bracers is a must before hunting down Alpha Animals. Equipping the Primal Bracer improves the amount of the animal meat dropped making it extremely useful when hunting down the Alpha Animals.

However, to acquire them you will need to defeat the Mythical Animals which are some of the hardest animals to beat in the game.

Go to Hunting Spots

Locate the hunting spots for jaguars, coyotes, and crocodiles and run around. Once you find the alpha animals, you will notice that they are different than regular Yaran animals due to their difference in color.

Defeat Mythical Animals

Defeating certain Mythical Animals will cause them to disappear permanently. Rarely, in their stead, the alpha versions of these animals will appear which you can hunt for Alpha Meat as well.

Equip Bows

If you haven't upgraded your Hunter's Lodge at the highest level, then, using guns will just damage the meat you will be hunting down. To be on the safe side, equip bows which deal relatively high damage without damaging the meat.

The best bow to equip is the El Capirote, which is designed to deal more damage to animals, making hunting easier.

What are Alpha Animals?

Alpha Animals are special versions of common animals found in the wilderness of Yara. They are a bit stronger than most animals and drop different items. They are not to be confused with Mythical Animals which are far stronger and far rarer versions.
