Far Cry 6's action-adventure story allows players to customize their best weapons and gear, and the best upgrades to get first will carry them a long way. Upgrades can be acquired by gathering the necessary crafting materials and applying them to the appropriate item at the workbench. Once an upgrade is unlocked on a weapon type it becomes unlocked for all weapons in that type. For example, unlocking the Armor Piercing rounds for the MS16 S also unlocks them for the FAL auto-rifle.

In addition to weapons, players can also choose to upgrade their Supremo and Vehicle in Far Cry 6. The Supremo has a large number of potential upgrades to choose from, but unfortunately, there aren't many of the appropriate materials around to get more than one or two of them. The Vehicle upgrades, however, are easier to come by than one might think early on, especially because there aren't too many upgrades to choose from.

Whether players have chosen Far Cry 6's story mode or classic mode, the key to any successful adventure in an action RPG are stealthy weapons, weapons with high damage, or a bit of both. Additionally, a reliable means of transportation provides a safe and enjoyable way to explore a large open area. For these reasons, the best upgrades to get first in Far Cry 6 are upgrades to the MS16 S and upgrades to the Ride.

The Best Upgrades To Get First In Far Cry 6

The MS16 S is a semi-automatic rifle that players earn naturally in Far Cry 6. Juan Cortez will have players add the Armor-Piercing Rounds to the MS16 S as part of the workbench tutorial, as well as the Resolver Suppressor. These are great upgrades for the MS16 S, but the next two upgrades that players should apply are ACOG scope and the American Suppressor.

The ACOG scope adds a 4x zoom to the MS16 S, and the American Suppressor adds the velocity back that the Resolver Suppressor took away. Additionally, because the MS16 S can one-shot enemies it takes the place of a sniper rifle early on in Far Cry 6.

For Far Cry 6's Ride, the first upgrades players should get are the Casa Grande and the UDAR. The first upgrade for the Casa Grande reduces overheat buildup for half the cost of Vehicle Scraps that it costs for a La Mansion upgrade. Additionally, with the first UDAR upgrade players can disable other vehicles upon impact - a feature that becomes more valuable as enemy cars show up on the roads early on.
