FAL
The FAL is one of the first rifles you get in Far Cry 6, handed over by Clara soon after the opening. It reaches mid to long range well, but its strong recoil makes it hard to control on full auto.

Good to know
- Clara gives it to you soon after the opening sequence.
- The magazine holds 20 rounds, or 35 with the extended magazine.
- It fires at 700 rounds per minute.
- ¡Viva Libertad! was painted by Juan as a gift when Libertad began, per Clara's note.
- Other named versions are Bronzer, War Paint and Highland Camo.

What it's good for
It is an all-rounder with good reach. The heavy recoil pushes you toward semi-auto or burst for anything past close range. Once you find stronger rifles it starts to fall behind on damage.
How to get it
Clara hands it to you early in the game, so you will have it before most other rifles.
Mods and ammo
It takes all six ammo types and can fit suppressors, sights and lasers. An extended magazine helps cover its small 20-round mag.
Compared with
The AK-47 has close to the same stats but holds 30 rounds, which usually wins it the firefight.
