What is Far Cry 6 Based On

Far Cry 6 is an action-adventure first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Toronto and published by Ubisoft. It is the sixth main instalment in the Far Cry series. Far Cry 6 was released in 2021. In this article, I will be discussing what the Far Cry 6 story is based on.

What Is The Storyline For Far Cry 6?

The story of Far Cry 6 is similar to the other Far Cry games, with players using the Amigos (Guns for Hire system), makeshift weapons and special vehicles to overthrow the regime of oppressive leaders. This game also has explosives, musical disc launchers and other Far Cry elements in its game setting.

Anton is an autocratic leader who tries to force his belief system on the people and oppress them into believing that they need him to survive. However, he didn’t expect the modern-day guerrilla revolution that ensued throughout the Island due to his constant ruthless leadership.

President Castillo has announced a plan to enslave some citizens in order to produce a new cancer drug, Viviro, from Yara’s Tobacco plant. As the Yaran armed forces are assembling the workers, Dani (the protagonist of the game) and her two friends plan to escape. However, one of them, Alejo Ruiz, was killed leaving her and her other friend, Lita to escape to a boat leaving the country.

Unfortunately, before the boat could leave the shores of Yara, the Yaran force detained the boat and discovered that their president’s son, Diego, was onboard, an angry Castillo ordered the boat to be sunk and all passengers aboard the boat killed, and Dani was the only survivor of the assault.

After Dani survived the assault, she joins the revolutionary movement against Castillo’s rule. Dani meets Juan Cortex, an Ex-spymaster and fighter, and both of them disrupt the treatment production plant and destroy the roadblock for the Libertad forces to escape the headquarters. The leader of the resistance, Clara, helped Dani meet up with the other resistance group against the rule of Castillo within the country.

Dani met the Montero and allied forces with them. The Montero tobacco farm had been hijacked for production of the Viviro, under the command of Castillo’s nephew, general Jose Castillo.

The troops working for Jose turned against him (as they were enlisted from the Monteros’s farm) when he killed Carlos who was trying to save his son from execution.

At the Independence Day celebration, Dani tried to kill Castillo but was stopped by his son, Diego, who revealed that his father was ill with Leukemia and dying.

Later, Dani was arrested by the Yaran force and tortured, but Diego came to her rescue by pleading with his father, who released her but later tried to kill her with a grenade which she survived again and escaped. With the help of a former coup leader during Castillo’s father’s regime, Dani attacks the facility headquarters and kills the doctor after discovering they were experimenting on civilians.

But by now, the leader of the resistance force, Clara has been captured by Castillo, and he tried to bargain with Dani to spare her life but because of a failed attempt on his life, Castillo killed Clara making Dani the new leader of the resistance.

Dani, with the united resistance force, besieged the capital and confronted Castillo, but his son would not allow her to kill his father as he was dying already.

Castillo killed Diego because he felt the guerrillas would not treat him well. After winning the fight, Dani was offered the leadership role of the country, but she refused and turned it down. The game ends with her finally escaping with the boat provided by Clara while back to Miami to start afresh away from the struggles.

There are two animal characters in the Far Cry 6 game; Chorizo and Guapo. Chorizo is a small, cute dog that uses a wheelchair to distract enemies and allow the player to charge at a foe without warning. While Guapo is a fearsome crocodile, he’s the total opposite of Chorizo in looks and attack mode, as Guapo goes straight for the kill once he sights his target.
