One of the most interesting aspects of Far Cry 6 is the ability to recruit unique companions with intriguing backstories and abilities. There are eight Banditos Leaders that can be recruited throughout Far Cry 6's large map, each with different stat bonuses that make them more or less helpful in a given situation. They can make the game easier, and give players another character to explore.
In order to be recruited alongside Dani in the fight against Far Cry 6's Anton Castillo, the Bandito Leaders' side quests must be finished. These give some insight into each of the characters' motives, backgrounds, and skills that they bring to the table for the player.
To get these quests, the Bandito Leader in question must be located. Recruiting these Bandito Leaders may be harder than some other unlockables in Far Cry 6, is much easier with awareness of where they are and what prerequisites are needed to start their missions.
