Far Cry 6 

Far Cry 6 brings back the fan favourite companions, which this time are all pets and animals called Amigos. These Amigos help you out in combat when you are fighting against Antón Castillo’s forces. There are seven companions and Amigos in the game that all feature a wide variety of abilities and perks for different situations.

Previous Far Cry games have also included humans that you can fight alongside, but in Far Cry 6 you can only get animal companions. This is due to the game’s main story focusing on recruiting people to fight in your guerrilla army against the ruler of Yara, so people play a much more pivotal role this time around.

But, enough chatting about the history of companions in Far Cry, let’s get into Far Cry 6’s Amigos companions, as well as their abilities, and the traits that come with each one.

Far Cry 6 Amigos Companions

Here are the Far Cry 6 Amigos companions:
