Reduce, Reuse and Resolver everything in Far Cry 6

During the Xbox+Bethesda Games Showcase, Far Cry 6 made a showing, giving players a glimpse into the chaos they can unleash, as long as they use the right tools for the job, check out the newest trailer below.

The right tools for the right job are not just going to be lying around in a crate, waiting for you to collect them, no if you want those tools, you will have to be resourceful and make weapons out of whatever it is you can find.

“Because importing items was so challenging, Cubans had to make do with whatever they already had on the island,” says Lead Game Designer David Grivel. “That’s why, for instance, we see so many American cars from the ‘60s still running over there. But ‘Resolver’ is not just about maintaining objects, it’s also about creating new ones. In our research, for example, we were inspired by things like a desk fan made from an old vinyl record player.”

This is brought to life with a new term, “Resolver,” which translated from Spanish, means “to solve.” In Cuba, the word has a deeper meaning. Thanks to decades of scarcity brought on by trade embargoes and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cubans were forced to figure out how to make things work with what they had.

“An example that jumps to mind,” says Grivel, “is one of my favorites: ‘El Pequeño.’ It’s a minigun made from an old motorbike engine. It’s absolutely deadly.” (We’re guessing it’s named “the little one,” ironically). Other Resolver weapons use gasoline pump handles, car batteries, bicycle grips, and even CD players.

There is even more to discover, but that will be for you to worry about, when Far Cry 6 releases on October 7 for Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
