So, you’ve got your hands on some sweet Far Cry 6 DLC and you’re itching to jump back into Yara. Excellent choice! Far Cry 6 offers a robust selection of post-launch content, ranging from villain-centric adventures to mind-bending alternate realities. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to access and play those DLCs, ensuring you get the most out of your Far Cry experience.
The primary method for launching your purchased post-game story expansions is through the televisions located in any unlocked Guerrilla Camp. Look for a TV with flickering images of past Far Cry antagonists: Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry 3), Pagan Min (Far Cry 4), and Joseph Seed (Far Cry 5). Simply interact with the TV, regardless of who’s currently on screen, and select the DLC you want to start.
Alternatively, you can access the DLC through the “Add-Ons” section of the main menu. This method offers a clean and straightforward way to launch the content without having to physically locate a Guerrilla Camp.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Far Cry 6 DLC
Here are some frequently asked questions to further clarify the process and address potential issues:
1. Do I need Far Cry 6 to play the DLC?
Yes, the Far Cry 6 DLCs are add-on content and require the base game Far Cry 6 to be installed and running on your system. You can’t play the DLC as a standalone experience.
2. Where do I find the Guerrilla Camps with the televisions?
Guerrilla Camps are scattered throughout Yara and are unlocked as you progress through the main story. Look for the signs of a liberated area (indicated by your faction’s flag). Almost every one has a TV that will let you start the DLC missions.
3. How do I access the DLC cars or weapons?
Accessing DLC vehicles and weapons depends on the specific DLC pack. Generally:
- Vehicles: Open the in-game menu, go to the “Rides” tab, and select “Ride Model”. Choose an unlocked vehicle from the list.
- Weapons: Check your loadout at a workbench or Libertad HQ. DLC weapons should be available there.
4. I purchased the Season Pass, but the DLC isn’t showing up in the game. What should I do?
First, verify that the Season Pass and the individual DLCs are installed. If they are, try restarting the game or your platform. If the problem persists, contact Ubisoft Support for assistance. If you purchased through the Epic Games Store, make sure you have manually added the content to your library.
