• Regular means of transport
• Rides
• Military vehicles
• Pickup points
• Vehicle repair
• Mounts
• Parachute and wingsuit

Regular means of transport

Far Cry 6 offers many different types of vehicles, the main categories being:

1. cars and trucks,
2. motorcycles and quads,
3. buggy (angelito),
4. boats and hovercraft,
5. jet skis,
6. planes,
7. helicopters.

You can find new means of transportation as you traverse the game world - you can use unused machines right away (all vehicles are "open", you don't need to use any lockpicks), and you can get into those driven by someone else by killing or throwing out the driver. Some missions may also give you a specific vehicle for its duration. You will be able to continue using this machine even after the mission is over.

Regular vehicles cannot be modified in any way and are not equipped with any weapons (you can use your hero's sidearm while driving). However, you can find variants with different body colors.

Rides

Rides are unique vehicles that are considered the main character's property. They have several important unique features:

1. You can summon rides while traveling the game world (bottom slot in the weapon radial menu) - the only requirement is that you must be close to the road.
2. You can modify your rides equip them with offensive equipment (e.g. machine gun) as well as defensive (e.g. better armor). This can make them very useful for missions or attacking enemy locations. In addition, you can make cosmetic changes, such as body color, wheel design, or decorations for the cabin.

Information on how to unlock all 4 rides can be found in our trophy guide on the Car Cry achievement page.

Military vehicles

Military vehicles used by Anton's soldiers include jeeps, trucks, Humvee, helicopters, aircraft, and tanks. Their important feature is that military vehicles are usually armed. This increases their usefulness since you can attack enemies without getting out of the vehicle.

Military vehicles may stand parked in some hostile locations. However, in most cases, you will have to get them by shooting the driver or throwing the driver/operator out of the cab. This works slightly different for different categories of vehicles - we have described it on separate pages of the guide:

1. Stealing jeeps, humvees, and trucks - You can shoot the driver or drive up in another vehicle and throw the driver out of the cab. We've described this on the Finders Keepers! trophy page.
2. Stealing a tank - You must stop a tank temporarily by using an EMP grenade or Volta supremo. Then throw out the operator through a hatch on the roof. We described this on the Tank - how to steal? page.

Pickup points

A big improvement in Far Cry 6 is that you can "save" the vehicles you find. You don't have to limit yourself to just using the rides (each vehicle becomes available permanently from the moment it is unlocked). You can do that in two ways:

1. You can use your smartphone and scan the vehicle - this will automatically save it. Unfortunately, this method will not work on military vehicles, only on civilian machines.
2. You can take the vehicle you have acquired to a Pickup point - park it in the large rectangle save the vehicle. You can also use these points to save, e.g. tanks and military helicopters.

Pickup points are also places where you can take vehicles from your collection. You just have to get to the right type of point. For example, if you want to pick up a ground vehicle, you need to get to one of the Vehicle Pickup points. The points are marked with special icons on the map. You can easily find them, e.g. near the main guerrilla hideouts.

Vehicle repair

The vehicles are not indestructible. However, you can repair your machines. This is done using the repair kit, which you can access by completing the introduction to the campaign, specifically the Fuel the Revolution operation.

Vehicle repairs are free and unlimited - you simply need to select the repair kit from the weapon radial menu, stand next to the vehicle and hold down the right trigger to activate the torch. If you are not rushed to complete a given mission objective (e.g. pursuit or escape with the vehicle), we recommend stopping for repairs as soon as the vehicle begins to smoke and/or you hear the alarm.

Mounts

In addition to various machines, you can also travel on horseback. Mounts can be especially helpful in exploring the map, as you can easily travel with them through the wilderness and reach places that even an off-road vehicle will not be able to easily access.

You will unlock your first horse very early in the game. You can actually stop here, because the other horses in the game differ only in appearance - they all have identical "stats". You can choose your mounts from unlocked ones by visiting special points called Horse Pickup.

Parachute and wingsuit

A parachute and a wingsuit can also help you travel more efficiently across the map.

The parachute is available from the very beginning of the game and its main use is to allow you to easily and safely reach locations that are below the sea level. Because of the slow descent, you have precise controls over the flight and can plan where to land. You can also use a weapon while using a parachute.

You'll get the wingsuit as you progress through the main storyline - we've described it on the Wingsuit - how to unlock? page. It comes in handy for longer flights at higher altitudes. It also unlocks a new fast travel option that allows you to be in the air above your destination. This way you will not have to use an airplane or helicopter to get to high altitudes. When using the wingsuit, remember to deploy the parachute before hitting the ground, otherwise your character will die. Trees can also be a threat, but only at a low altitude (e.g. along a mountain slope).
