Ubisoft's sixth entry in the esteemed Far Cry series has much to entice newcomers and series vets alike. From the adrenaline-fueled shooter and stealth-based gameplay to the lush locales to the range of satisfying weapons, explosives, and vehicles—there's much to enjoy and appreciate. Added to the vast, diverse lineup of awesome artillery this time around are a set of superweapons and abilities called Supremos.
Designed by former KGB spymaster Juan Cortez, Supremos are loaded backpacks laced with reusable "ultimate moves" that unleash carnage or grant abilities to Dani. They also double as a sort of customizable skill tree equivalent that can be laced with buffs and gadgets.
These havoc-wreaking "aces in the hole" can be fun to unleash on a whim, but it's a good idea to learn the ins and outs of these unique tools of guerilla warfare first. This guide will serve as a blueprint that will highlight the key details involving Supremos in Far Cry, including each type, its traits, and how to earn it.
How To Unlock Supremos
As players progress and rank up, they'll soon be able to unlock their first Supremo. Most of the Supremos can be purchased from Juan Cortez or one of his Arms Dealers, using Depleted Uranium as a currency to exchange for one.
Following the completion of the mission, "Juan of a Kind," players will have access to Juan's services and will be able to obtain Supremos at his shop at the rebel headquarters of Zamok Archipielago.
Keep in mind, though, each of these Supremos requires players to reach a certain point in the game before they become available.
The seventh and final Supremo, the Triador, is a secret Supremo, and can be secured by finishing the Triada Relics quest. This involves seeking out the three Triada relics, which are hidden
throughout the environment. Once they are all collected, go to Oluwa Cave on Isla Santuario and hand them in, and players will score the Triador.
Types Of Supremos
Below is a list of each of the seven Supremos and a brief description of their attributes, along with what they unlock (if anything), their unique mods (Supremo-specific buffs), and when they can be obtained.
Exterminador
This is the first that's available to Dani, and also one of the best Supremos despite being available early on.
This aptly-named weapon fires off explosive rockets that have heat-seeking abilities, honing in on nearby targets and pummeling them with powerful blasts. These can annihilate ground troops and wreak havoc on Outposts, and even destroy vehicles such as choppers.
- Class: Assaulter
- Unique Mod: Artillery Supremacy - boosts its damage and makes it even stronger against vehicles
- What it unlocks: Gives Dani access to the baseball and Molotov Cocktail
- When it's available: After completing "Du Or Die"
Fantasma
This Supremo disrupts foes by launching poisonous gas onto the scene and causes those in its wake to turn on each other. While amusing, this is a great way to distract enemies in Dani's way and create chaos with ample distractions. Of course, this also doubles as a damage dealer indirectly, as troops will shoot at one another.
This Supremo comes in the form of three bombs, which are lobbed in an arc, and release the gas upon impact.
- Class: Saboteur
- Unique Mod: Venom Shot - boosts the poison damage inflicted on enemies
- What it unlocks: Poison Grenade
- When it's available: After completing "Libertad Rises"
Volta
This Supremo unleashes an EMP wave that disables electronic equipment including vehicles, security systems, and turrets.
It also has the ability to knock over enemies and allows players to hijack vehicles, making for a real game-changer in a heated fight. It does little offensively, but it's very disruptive and has a great range that can be upgraded.
- Class: Stealth
- Unique Mod: Signal Boost - greatly extends the radius of the shockwave, making it far better as an anti-air weapon
- What it unlocks: EMP Grenade
- When it's available: After completing "Libertad Rises"
Furioso
Far Cry 6 arsonists will want to give this fun Supremo a try. It emits an explosive ring that scorches the ground and gravely burns all in its wake. This is great for dealing with numerous foes at once while damaging nearby vehicles and starting fires that can help protect Dani. It's a good idea to exercise caution with this one though, as the spreading fires can be hazardous.
As a fun bonus, players can utilize this as a sort of short-burst jetpack to blast forward a bit in midair, extending the jump range of Dani.
- Class: Defender
- Unique Mod: Juan Up - increases the damage of all Resolver weapons after using this Supremo
- What it unlocks: Fuel Canister
- When it's available: After reaching rank 3 - "Exploradora"
Medico
For the survivalists and more cautious players, the Medico makes for a great alternative to the more chaotic Supremos. This one allows Dani to self-revive and swiftly heal themself, along with nearby allies. It does this with healing clouds that restore all in its reach.
This is useful enough flying solo, but it's especially good when playing co-op, which is so prominently featured in Far Cry 6.
- Class: Defender
- Unique Mod: Yaran Steel - greatly improves Dani's defense after using this Supremo
- What It Unlocks: Healing Canister
- When it's available: After reaching rank 4 - "Espia"
Gladiador
This one is great for those who favor a faster, more evasive game. It bumps up the movement speed and health of Dani.
It also allows for instant-death executions on any enemy regardless of position.
- Class: Assaulter
- Unique mod: Supremo Extender - increases the length of time Dani can sprint at max speed and Machete Killing enemies
- What it unlocks: Flash Grenade
- When it's available: After reaching rank 5 - "Cabo"
Triador
Often viewed as the most potent, useful Supremo, the Triador draws on Oluwas' power to mark and reveal foes that are in cover. This can be compounded with the La Varita rifle, as this coupling allows Dani to shoot through walls.
Considering this weapon is already very powerful, this becomes a truly lethal loadout for Dan.
- Class: Stealth
- Unique mod: Supremo Extender - increases the duration to allow Dani to see enemies and shoot through walls for longer periods.
- What it unlocks: Does not unlock any new gadgets
- When it's available: After completing "Triada Blessings"
Supremo Upgrades And Customization
- Supremos are laced with four slots that allow players to equip various gadgets and mods. This includes a new Gadget Mod that unlocks when the Supremo is crafted. Those unlocked with the Supremo can often augment and synergize with the effects of that Supremo.
- The four Gadget Mod slots attached to the Supremo act as slots for explosives and other items such as EMP grenades, Pipe Bombs, and Healing Canisters.
- The mod slot beneath, Supremo Socket, houses mods for things like offensive, defensive, and stealth buffs as well as healing efficiency.
- The slot next to it, Supremo Charger Socket which offers recharge bonuses (Sharpshooter—which rewards bonus Supremo charge for headshot kills, for instance).
- There is also a Special Upgrade Socket which is the aforementioned "unique mod" to that Supremo. An example is the EMP-based Volta, which has Signal Boost. This upgrade increases the area-of-effect radius of the EMP pulse.
- Supremos can be upgraded, primarily at a Workbench by using the Resolver Material called Supremo-Bond. This resource can be obtained in Libertad Crates and particularly from Supply Drops.
Depleted Uranium
This critical resource can be found in the various Anti-Aircraft sites around Yara. Players will want to seek out large yellow crates—displayed on the map and inventory screen in the form of a radiation warning icon.
- Each of the Supremos (except for the Triador, which is rewarded to the player), can be had for 100 Uranium.
- As a side note: This resource is also needed to craft Resolver weapons like the El Pequeno chain gun and La Clavadora sniper/bow.
Far Cry 6 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, and Google Stadia.
