This is the first time we get a tank in a Far Cry game. This is a pretty big deal if you as me. We did get Planes and helicopters with missiles and machine guns, as well as the planes getting bombs in FC5. Far Cry 6 is based of of Cuba, Right? Cuba does have tanks in it's arsenal. I would expect Planes and Helicopters to be present too. The map is said to be the biggest and may take up to an hour to travel across on foot. It will be a huge disappointment if the tanks are mission only.
We did talk about tanks as soon as they revealed them. We saw the destroyed tank with ‘Libertad’ graffiti sprayed on it and a screenshot of a tank drive by. Just like helicopters and airplanes, I believe we can buy them. I can already see people liberating outposts with them, and I can see tank mayhem in multiplayer.
I m pretty much hoping that tanks won t be playable that much, mostly because it s probably the most dangerous stuff in the game. As long as you re in it, youre probably OP since i can t see basic enemies shooting you doing a great deal of damage. So tanks could not be playable until the last mission that i would simply not care.
I'm fairly indifferent to tanks but honestly see them as more of a negative. Engagements where they show up will be interesting because they'll be a big new threat that'll need addressing, but I'm not particularly a fan of piloting them much. Maybe for very short bursts as sort of a palette cleanser, but I'm can't say driving tanks is something I'm excited about. I'm more of a boots on the ground type of player, I like the smaller scale, guerilla tactics type gameplay of the series, tanks to me represent the series getting a little to close to a full blown war game. A big part of what I always liked about the FC games was their smaller scale conflicts focused on the consequences on the civilian / innocent population rather than games like battlefield where the entire story is just about the good guys vs the bad guys, and bringing in tanks just pushes the series more toward the latter imo...
Helicopters were easily the most overpowered vehicles in Far Cry 5. Even with Far Cry 4's buzzers, people would bombard enemies with the M79. It didn't really take long for players to access airplanes and helicopters in Far Cry 5, so I kind of doubt tanks would be held back until the end of the game.Originally Posted by WildCassowary Go to original post
