Far Cry 6 - Vaas: Insanity

Far Cry 6 Vaas: Insanity is the first big expansion pack for Ubisoft's popular 2021 first-person action game. Both the basic version of the production and the expansion were developed by Ubisoft Monreal studio.

Plot

In the DLC, the player takes on the role of Vaas Montenegro, a psychopathic villain known from Far Cry 3. In the add-on, he goes on a journey inside his tormented mind, trying to overcome his own demons and break the cycle pushing him deeper and deeper into the depths of madness.

Game mechanics

The expansion keeps the basic game mechanics from Far Cry 6 but enriches them with elements of the roguelite genre. In DLC we get new open world, filled with enemies to eliminate, items to collect and bases to recapture. We unlock new skills and gain better weapons and equipment.

At the same time, many elements of the game are set randomly. Far Cry 6 Vaas: Insanity was designed in such a way that the game can be played many times, each time facing new challenges. At the beginning of each adventure the player chooses between five difficulty levels. The higher he chooses, the more powerful enemies he will encounter, but killing them will earn him better items as a reward.

Completing quests unlocks new items, and part of the progress (e.g. weapons obtained and their storage upgrades) is saved between each session, which allows us to take on increasingly difficult challenges. On the other hand, the death of the character causes the loss of equipment, but only that which he had on him, not the items left in the lockers.

Game modes

The add-on offers the possibility to play solo or in co-op with another player.

Technical aspects

Vaas: Insanity is not a standalone expansion pack, so you need the base version of Far Cry 6 to enjoy the game.
