Far Cry 6 Weaknesses 01.png
Press the Up button your consoles to bring up the Phone Mode. The Phone Mode has a scan function that allows you to check out certain aspects of Yara including vehicles, animals, and even enemies.

Locate Your Enemies and Scan Them

Zoom in on your targets to scan them and to find out their weaknesses. This will also tag them so that you will know the location of your enemies.

Benefits of Scanning Enemies

Know Your Opponents' Weaknesses

Knowing your opponent's weakness will give you the upperhand in battle. This will allow you to modify your arsenal to match their weaknesses and make clearing your opponents much easier. You can do this by heading to a nearby resolver workbench and adjust your ammo.

Unique Weapons Cannot Change Ammo Types

Take note that if you are using unique weapons, you cannot adjust their ammo type. So, use the appropriate weapon to deal with specific enemy types.

Know Their Arsenal

By scanning your opponents, you don't just know their weaknesses - you also know what kind of rounds they are carrying. This will also allow you to adjust your armor to make you harder to kill.
