How to Acquire Standard Weapons
There are several different ways that you can acquire Standard Weapons in Far Cry 6:
- Find and Open FND Caches: This method applies to most Standard Weapons. These FND Caches are typically located in restricted areas. The weapons will drop somewhat randomly, progressing from lower rank weapons to higher rank weapons, and are not tied to any specific FND Cache location. These caches may reward you with Gun Powder or other resources instead of a weapon.
- Purchase with Pesos: This applies to the same weapons that can be found in FND Caches, as an alternate method for obtaining the weapons. These weapons can be purchased from Juan's Arms Dealers or from the Guerrilla Garrison. Juan's Arms Dealers set up shop in captured FND bases. The weapons they offer will increase in rank as you increase your rank. The Guerrilla Garrison is one of the shops that can be installed at one of the three main guerrilla camps. Upgrading the Guerrilla Garrison will increase the rank of available weapons.
- Complete Bandido Operations: This is another alternate method for obtaining the same standard weapons that can be found in FND Caches. Standard Weapons are one of several types of rewards that may be offered by Bandido Operations.
- Complete Treasure Hunts: Some standard weapons can only be obtained by completing specific treasure hunts. The weapons in this group and their requisite treasure hunts are provided in the weapon type detail pages listed above.
- Complete Story Operations: A few standard weapons can only be obtained by completing specific story operations. The weapons in this group and their requisite operations are provided in the weapon type detail pages listed above.
Customizing Standard Weapons
Standard weapons can be customized at any workbench to improve their performance. There are as many as seven available sockets, depending on the weapon type, and each socket contains multiple options that offer things like alternate ammo types and different types of scopes and suppressors. Most mods affect the weapon's stats in one way or another. Not all weapons use the same mod sockets or offer the same options in those sockets, so the total available mods for each weapon will vary. There are 49 standard weapons. When you factor in all the possible combinations of mods, there are more than 21.7 million performance configurations of those 49 weapons.
Every standard weapon also offers a range of paint schemes to customize the appearance of the weapon, and all standard weapons except sidearms can be equipped with charms to add another personal touch. Adding these appearance options to the performance configurations results in over 8.9 billion total configurations.
