8. Conclusion

In Far Cry 6, your character is defined by choices: which Supremo, which Amigo, which Resolver weapons, and which skills you prioritize. There is no “best” build, but for a balanced approach, start with Boomer for intel, use the Centinela Supremo for survival, and specialize weapons for close or long range. Experiment with different combinations to find your playstyle. The allies and Amigos are there to support you—use them wisely.
