Far Cry 6 Best Armor Sets and Builds Guide

There is over 100 individual pieces of armor (gear) in Far Cry 6. Read on to learn some of the best best sets and builds in the game.

Soft Target Gloves Mk II
(Wrist Gear)

Since most combat situations will see you scouting out enemy bases or camps at a distance where they can still see or hear you, limiting the amount of noise you make without sacrificing movement speed or your ability to track where enemies are posted are key components to a successful stealth run.

These gear pieces greatly complement sniping enemies from a distance, particularly if paired up with the Triador and the La Varita, but do not make it impossible for you to survive close encounters.

Best Combat Gear

Gear Effect

For a quick way to deal enemies damage without losing out on defense or making you too slow to move, this particular set of gears when combined contributes to make you a speedy but durable fighter.

You can even maximize your damage output potential by getting a height advantage over your enemies due to the weapon damage bonus that Oku's Deliverance provides you.

Best Defensive Gear

Gear Effect
Fuerza Beisbol
(Head Gear)
Improves weapon damage against ground vehicles.
Impact Vest Mk II
(Chest Gear)
Improves blast and soft-target round defense.
Rioter Pants MK II.pngRioter Pants Mk II
(Leg Gear)
Greatly improves armor piercing round defense.
Rioter Boots MK II.pngRioter Boots Mk II
(Foot Gear)
Greatly improves armor piercing round defense, slightly impairs move speed.
Street Surgeon Gloves.pngStreet Surgeon Gloves
(Wrist Gear)
Begin regenerating health sooner after taking damage.

Defensive gears that bring any substantial amounts of defense to Dani are difficult to come by. However, they are the most rewarding to get, as some gear pieces when paired with each other can make moving Dani feel like driving a walking tank.

Although your movement speed will be diminished with this set, it will allow you to last longer out in the open during firefights and recover much faster when under the safety of cover. This also makes your attacks against vehicles much more powerful, as vehicles can quickly eliminate you regardless of what gear you wear.
