In Far Cry 6 the .50 BMG caliber Sniper Rifle is one of the strongest sniper rifle in the game. It’s exact in-game name is “MBP .50”. It’s the best long-range weapon and can be upgraded with a Suppressor too.
This quick guide explains how to get the MBP .50 Sniper Rifle:
- Build the “Guerrilla Garrison” Facility Upgrade at one of the 3 main camps. This costs 60 Metal + 60 Gasoline. Each region has a main camp after doing the first story quest in the respective region – Montero Farm in Madrugada, Camp Maximas in Valle De Oro, Patriotas Peak in El Este. You go there automatically for story purposes, but it’s only possible after finishing the Prologue on Isla Santuario. You can find the required materials scattered across the world, especially at enemy bases and by various other means.
- Upgrade “Guerrilla Garrison” Facility to Level 2. This costs another 140 Metal + 140 Gasoline in addition to the initial building cost.
- Upgrade “Guerrilla Garrison” Facility to Level 3. This costs another 220 Metal + 220 Gasoline. So the grand total of required resources it 420 Metal and 420 Gasoline to fully upgrade it.
- Now you can buy the Sniper Rifle from the Guerrilla Garrison Merchant. It costs 3850 Pesos. You can get money passively from Bandito Operations which are started at the quest board in your camps.
You can also upgrade it at the workbench with a better scope and suppressor. This requires Gun Powder.
That’s all there is to unlocking the .50 cal Sniper Rifle in Far Cry 6.

There is a less complicated way.
Just collect FND crates in the main city in the most dangerous region of the game, Esperanza.
Profit.
Along others high-tier weapons of the game for free, you’ll highly likely get this rifle. For example, I did it in the very begining, right after unlocking main island. It gets me all at once: bestest Rifle, Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Shotgun and Launcher. SSGP-58, MP7, MBP .50, RMS-18 and RAT4. Along with some unique weapons. In less than a hour.
And the whole story and the game itself ahead. Easy peasy.

Yep. It works just fine.
Just checked it up with new game start on the most hard level. Right after joining Libertad at the HQ and Meet the legends, as most far spot from the city. After completing it, take helicopter and flight right to the Esperanza capital. Flying right above earth will takeyou outfrom any radar. You may use this lifehack for every other flight.
So there are 15 FND and 5 Yaran contraband reachable crates with 1 unreachable FND in the hotel close on the shore line along with several Libertad crates all over the city and beneath the earth.
It tooks me 7 FND crates to get MBP .50, top sniper rifle, with MP7, top Submachine Gun, and CKC. Another 3 to get RAT4, top Launcher, and another 3 to get RMS-18, top shotgun, with 2 more left to get top rifle, SSGP-58. 15 FND crates in total. 5 unique weapons from Yaran Contraband also could be useful.
At the Rank 2, with MS16S only. A really fun task, especially at the very beginning. In couple of hours in total you could get almost all weapons you may need for the whole game just for free without any constructions or spendings.
Feel yourself free to use and save your time.
