Far Cry 6 is the latest entry in Ubisoft's popular first-person shooter franchise, offering the incredible action and riveting main antagonist that many people have come to associate with the Far Cry games. While it may not innovate on the formula as much as some fans may have hoped, the game is still a joyride for people who manage to look past the game pretty much repeating the gameplay elements and concepts used in previous titles.
The recent launch of Far Cry 6 on Steam makes it even more accessible for players who shied away from giving this game a shot. One of the best reasons to check this game out on PC is the vast array of mods that people can download for this game, tweaking Far Cry 6 in unique and intuitive ways.
10 Libertad Mod
FoV is one of the first settings players mess around with any FPS title, given that they want their vision to be as restrictive as possible. So, many players would be saddened to know that in a game where shooting is one of the core parts of gameplay, they can't customize their FoV extensively.
This issue becomes a thing of the past with the Libertad Mod, which improves the FoV in both regular gameplay and other moments when players are on vehicles and horses. The mod features several other changes such as improved weaponry and greater player freedom, allowing them to kill anyone and everyone in sight if they wish.
9 Clean View
Any first-person title strives to be as immersive as possible. So, when players explore the world of Far Cry 6, their screen is constantly covered with stuff like water and dirt as they interact with these specific environments.
This is no longer a problem with the Clean View mod, which does precisely what is stated in the title. Depending on the player's preferences, a variety of screen effects can be turned off to make the first-person view look as clean and crisp as possible.
8 Remove Intro Videos
Most AAA games are plagued by many videos that are ridiculously insistent on showing every publisher, engine, and everything else along the same lines. While giving credit where it's due is important, this comes at the cost of the player being frustrated every time they boot up the game.
This issue is negated with a simple mod that removes all intro videos in the game. Players can boot up Far Cry 6 and load their game in no time flat.
7 Scalable Ironsight FOV
Players will be aiming down the sights more often than not in Far Cry 6, given the game's emphasis on shooting. This makes it important to make the iron sights as accessible as possible, so players can rely on it more often.
A great way to make aiming down the sights more viable is by using the Scalable Ironsight FOV mod. Players can tweak the FoV values while using iron sights with this mod, making it a simple yet great mod that veteran FPS players can check out for themselves.
6 FC6 Vehicles Speed
Players will spend a lot of time behind the wheel of a vehicle in Far Cry 6. While driving around the game's vast and engaging world is a blast, some players find them a bit too slow for their liking.
This mod increases the speed of almost every vehicle in Far Cry 6, making them infinitely more entertaining to use. The increase in speed isn't so high that the game becomes unrealistic, making for a simple mod that affects the game positively.
5 Simple Realistic 3D For Far Cry 6
Shader mods are a dime-a-dozen for most PC games that don't release their modding tools, and Far Cry 6 is no exception. There are bound to be several reshade presets that have already come out for the game, making this choice hard for players who want a visual enhancement that is easy on the eyes.
The best reshades are the ones that maintain the visual design of the game and only integrate minor tweaks. This particular reshade mod fits the bill in this regard and is worth a download for fans of the game.
4 FC6 No Overheat
There are many powerful weapons players can use in Far Cry 6 to mow down their enemies without a care in the world. However, to balance their firepower, these weapons can overheat after being fired for a while, leaving players vulnerable as they're pretty much sitting ducks until the weapon is operational again.
With this mod, the concept of overheating is removed from the game. Sure, it may be unbalanced... but if players have fun with this simple gameplay tweak, then perhaps it's not the worst thing in the world to download this mod.
3 Gameplay Tweaks
Far Cry 6's gameplay has been polished to a T, making each and every combat encounter all the more engaging. However, there are times when players may want to customize certain parameters to their liking for the game to either be challenging or cathartic.
This is where this simply-titled mod comes into the picture, featuring many options to tweak a Far Cry 6 playthrough to each individual player's preference. These include AI detection range, player damage, health regen, and medkit efficiency, to name a few.
2 FC6 Wingsuit
The wingsuit is one of the best ways to traverse the world of Far Cry 6. It's a blast to use every single time players are airborne, allowing them to cover massive ground in no time at all.
If players want to make the wingsuit even more fun to use, then this mod is the way to go. The descent angle is reduced and speed is increased, making the wingsuit even better and a blast to use for players who love flying around the map of Far Cry 6.
1 FC6 Third Person View
Far Cry 6 is mainly supposed to be played in first-person, with the view shifting to a third-person one during certain special instances. So, players shouldn't be surprised that a mod exists that enables a third-person camera for the game.
Of course, this perspective is clunky and makes several actions quite challenging to pull off. However, there's no denying that this mod is worth it just for the novelty of looking at the player character in third person, which can be quite fun for some.
Far Cry 6 was released on October 7, 2021, and is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
