Far Cry 6: S-Tier Weapons
Urushi
- Type: Assault Rifle
- Rate of Fire: 900

The best weapon in the game for short to midrange is undoubtedly Urushi, a unique assault rifle that is already modded with everything you need except the scope. But you won’t notice that anything is lacking when using it.
It has a great grip and a silencer that will make your stealth gameplay so much more effective. It has high damage, huge fire rate, and excellent precision.

El Tirano
- Type: Sniper Rifle
- Rate of Fire: 43
- Magazine: 6
This is the best sniper rifle in the game in terms of damage and range, and easily one of the best weapons. It’s simply unbeatable in that regard, and its only drawback is that it doesn’t have a silencer, which eliminates a stealthy gameplan.
But other than that, El Tirano will do any sniping job you need to accomplish. It has extremely high accuracy and damage, as well as, rate of fire for a sniper rifle.
El Tirano Location
First, travel to the Valle De Oro region. Then, head towards the Escila Fort at Vestosa Peninsula in Barrial.
