Far Cry 6 All Armor Locations & Skills Effects

Far Cry 6 has 126 Armor Pieces. This guide shows all the Armor Locations in the game. There are 5 categories of Armor: Head, Chest, Legs, Feet, Wrists. Each armor piece unlocks a passive buff, or a usable skill when worn. Far Cry 6 doesn’t have a skill tree where you’d buy skills, instead all skills and passive perks come from the Armor! You can view all armor pieces from the Arsenal Menu and when you scroll over them it shows a tip how to obtain them.

Most armor pieces are bought from the Bandidos Barracks, one of the buildable camp facilities. Upgrade this building to level 3 to unlock more armor for purchase. 15 pieces are from the Criptograma Chests, a few from Story, Treasure Hunts, Mythical Animals, and upgrading the Fishing Hut. This guide also includes all armor skills & effects so you can see what best fits your playstyle and go straight for that type of armor.

Two armor pieces “2020 Victoria Fly Seeby” (Foot Armor) & “Canadian, Eh?” (Wrist Armor) are missable. However, you don’t need these armor pieces for anything else and they aren’t linked to trophies or achievements. So missing them won’t lock you out of anything and they aren’t part of any armor sets.

The below list is in the same order as the in-game armor menu.

For Weapons, refer to Far Cry 6 All Weapon Locations.
