Far Cry 6 has a large variety of weapons for players to get, and the Zona-51 is one of the best unique weapons that players can acquire. The Zona-51 is a four-star auto rifle that has a lot of great perks that will make quick work of enemies. The Zona-51 is arguably the best rifle type of weapon in Far Cry 6, if not one of the best.
Zona-51 is one of the harder weapons to acquire throughout Far Cry 6. Acquiring this unique rifle is a multi-step process that requires players to obtain a key, and take out multiple eight-star enemies. There is almost no way that players with lower-level gear will be able to acquire Zona-51, but they're certainly welcome to try once they have access to the island of Esperanza. Still, if lower-level players insist on trying they should make a point to grab the best weapons to get first in Far Cry 6.
Esperanza is available as soon as players complete the tutorial in Far Cry 6, granting Dani access to the other islands via the boat she receives from Clara and Juan. Zona-51 is located in La Divinidad Cathedral, slightly Northeast of the "Old Pueblo" text on the map of Yara. The area is heavily controlled by the FND, and no matter what level of gear they possess, players should attempt to scale the cathedral and sneak around as many enemies as possible. If they progress further in the story, players can use Far Cry 6's wing suit after jumping out of a plane to close the distance, as the trip to Esperanza is quick
Where To Find The Zona-51 Rifle In Far Cry 6
Zona-51 is locked behind a door in the cathedral that leads to the bell tower. In order to unlock the door, Dani must kill the patrol guard wandering around the cathedral. After grabbing the bell tower key, enter the bell tower to find the gator case on the right. As a unique weapon, the Zona-51 cannot be upgraded at the workbench, but it already has some of the best attachments and stats in Far Cry 6. Since the Zona-51 cannot be upgraded, players should feel free to use their gunpowder for other Far Cry 6 weapons.
These are the attachments for Zona-51:
- Incendiary Rounds (4 Star Mod): Deals fire damage in a small area; applies a damage-over-time effect.
- Red Dot Sight (2 Star Mod): Slightly zoomed short-range sight.
- Reload All (4 Star Mod): Reloading this weapon’s magazine also reloads all other weapons.
Far Cry 6 is available now for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
