2030 - THE RISE OF A NEW ENEMY FACTION
It took a decade later after the entire world became informed of the deaths of Anton Castillo and his arch nemesis Clara Garcia during the Yaran Revolucion of 2021. With Castillo bloodline no more, Anton's polices have spread to the unknown enemy faction, known as the largest multinational private military company, Geiger Storm. Led by the original leader Tai Shenyang, their founder before his daughter Caihong, they were once an ally to the United Nations and other international treaties until it changed in early 2030 when they turned against the entire world due to their true nature they gain from the philosophies of Anton's revolution.
January 5, 2030 - Geiger Storm launched an attack on the Indonesian and Philippine navies on South China Sea as a form of retaliation to being punished for their violation of international laws sanctioned by ASEAN. This violent dispute/conflict resulted in the death of the GS' leader.
January 7, 2030 - Caihong Shenyang, the daughter of a late Tai Shenyang, betrayed the United Nations and its peacekeeping military, and joined Geiger Storm as a new mantle over her father. Her goal is to establish a new world order and enslave the entire world to do what Anton Castillo did brutally to the Yaran citizens since 2021.
March 1, 2030 - Geiger Storm and their new leader Caihong Shenyang, now known as "The Archangel" brutally launched an invasion in Yara, starting with Valle de Oro, which resulted Fuerzas Nacionales de Defensa and its remaining insurgents to side with Libertad and citizens to turn against the the invading PMC force.
March 5, 2030 - GS troops burned down Montero Farm, resulting in the deaths of Camilla Montero's brother, Alejandro, and Dani's guerrilla mentor Juan Cortez. This culminated Madrugada being in ultimate chaos.
March 15, 2030 - UN Peacekeepers are dispatched to eastern and Western regions of Yara to discover what has GS and their leader wrought. They ally with Libertad and FND in taking down their enemies scattered across the danger zone.
2031 - AWARENESS OF THE UPCOMING CONFLICT
To stabilize Yara again, several members, who are ex-Libertad and ex-FND, have reformed the Yaran government, with Roy Guerrera, the former FND general, being self-elected as the new El Presidente of Yara. Dani Rojas has an important opportunity with the United Nations: Establish a New Task Force that would help the innocent, defend these countries from war, and stop The Archangel.

Seriously, does no one check the facts anymore? We have the Oasisstrings. We have the Loc files. Yet a bunch of unproven bullshit like "Raju wants Bhadra to have his kids" makes it onto the pages and into the broader community. Despite there being absolutely no evidence that's true. That dialogue simply does not exist. This is the "Far Cry 1 takes place in 2030" situation all over again, and some people STILL believe that. Why is nobody questioning any of this?
SCAR-H
"Belgian-American battle rifle at the hands of JSOC and other international operatives. It is capable of switching to semi-auto or full-auto fire modes. Dani "Fenris" Rojas' weapon of choice but comes with its EGLM."
M416
"Versatile German assault rifle for the special forces and militaries across the world. Fast-firing relative to the M16 and its derivatives."
QBZ-95-1
"Chinese assault rifle that is considered the mighty mythical dragon of China by the foreigners. A standard issue rifle for the Yaran military as of the 2030s. A weapon of choice for Camilla "La Espada" Montero. as well as the Crimson Sword PMC operatives."
UMP-45
"One-of-a-kind compact submachine gun with high mobility. A brother figure to the MP5 SMG."
PP-2000
"Russian personal defense weapon (PDW). Lightning Shark PMC operatives can use it to decimate their enemies faster and faster."
LSAT
"The big daddy LMG! Its highest rate of fire is awesome, much to the pleasure of the JSOC. A weapon of choice for Samuel "Barrett" Ortega."
SVU
"The successor to the Soviet SVD sniper rifle. Quite a fancy bullpup look. Lightning Shark PMCs use it to detect the target and exterminate them quickly."
DSR-1
"A high-precision German sniper rifle at the hands of the GSG 9 and other special forces from NATO and Third-World nations."
S-12
"Russian semi-auto shotgun that fires strongest slug rounds. Likely used for kicking their enemies' asses at an alarming rate."
SMAW
"JSOC's familiar rocket launcher. Good for hitting tanks, armored vehicles, and aerial vehicles."
Glock 57
"A small and compact Austrian handgun. Semi-auto. Can be used by all military forces across the world as well as resistance fighters, terrorists, robbers, guerrillas, and law enforcement."

I'm gonna come out and say this'll probably be an unpopular opinion, but I figured I'd say my two cents on it. Of course, if you don't agree, good on you. This is just my opinion, after all, and you can take that for whatever it's worth.
I am a huge Far Cry 5 fan, and mostly played New Dawn to get a continuation of the story since we didn't get any real story DLC in 5 (which would've hard to do given the ending, to be fair).
I haven't really played in a year or so, but after recently playing it again, I have to say, I don't think it's all that bad, at least not as much as it kinda gets hate for. Maybe hate is too strong a word, but it's not a lot of people's favorite or go-to, especially compared to something like 3 or 4.
And in all fairness, it has its flaws compared to the main entries. For example, the RPG elements or enemy tiers, while I think they're okay, I can understand why it doesn't really jive with some people.
Here's my view on it. While it's not perfect, and isn't as good as some of the main entries, I think it has it has some interesting ideas. I'll list my reasons below. Again, you can feel totally free to not agree with me.
While The Twins don't really have the same level of appeal to me compared to Joseph Seed, Anton Castillo, or Pagan Min, I think they have an interesting dynamic. Instead of being purely crazy like Vaas or more calm, collected, and calculating like Min, they balance each other out and that makes for some interesting scenes. The ending scene with them actually made me kinda sad.
As a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, I think the Highwaymen have some interesting ideas that maybe could be fleshed out more but I find interesting nonetheless. Sure, they're probably the most objectively evil of the factions (expect maybe the Pirates in 3), and normally villians like that aren't really my cup of tea. However, the idea of a nationwide confederation of raiders, going from place to place to drain it all of resources before moving on, focusing only on having a good time here and now with no thought to the future or the idea that their way of life will sooner or later become unsustainable, that has a lot of story potential and inspiration for a more fleshed out idea. Sure, some of these elements aren't super original, but I still think there's something there. Generic doesn't equal bad and novel doesn't equal good, after all. However, they eat dogs, and that's a hard barrier for me to like them. More of an interesting but love to hate kind of villian compared to the more sympathetic I felt about Eden's Gate.
Gameplay wise, the Expeditions are probably my favorite part. Eventually you get pretty good at them, especially when you get to the endgame with really good gear, but I still like that they give you a reason to keep playing past the end of the story, which is a problem that I had with entries that came before as they didn't really have anything like that. Also, to my knowledge, no Far Cry before New Dawn gave you that kind of several, smaller unique maps in addition to the big main one. I haven't played all of them, so I might be wrong on that, but it's something that was new to me for Far Cry, and something I really enjoyed.
This went on a little longer than I planned. Sorry, I have a tendency to ramble. I'd be interested to see any comments, whether you agree, disagree, whatever. So long as you're polite about it, I'll reply. Been a while since I've been on this wiki so it feels good to be back.
After joining Jayma and Wogah to my tribe, escorting some Wenja's whose village got flooded to a new, but unsafe location, claiming the southern Udam bonfire in Kapal, and destroying an Izila camp, I decided to journey North, along the western wall. The Udam in the Artic biome are a lot stronger than the Udam down South. Their health is comparable to the Izila's health in the counterpart region, but they do more damage, though their attacks are slower and less coordinated. I headed further North, into one of the Udam's homelands. This is the one where we fight the Blood Tusk Mammoth. And wow. I forgot how amazingly gorgeous this place is, I'm in shock. But I'm also dying... a lot. There's a lot of reasons, like how every animal is super aggressive (including the untamable herbavours,) and does a lot of damage, or how the Udam here have hundreds of health, kill me in one hit, and attack very fast. To compare, they're able to take two tier 1 spears to the face without feeling any pain. And that's the quickest way I have to kill them. To make matters worse, most wear bone armor which protects them from spears and arrows, while wielding more effecient weapons for killing beasts. Plus, I need to go to a fire every 2 minutes because I have no winter clothing.

I think Far Cry should add the Specialists-for-Hire/Playable Specialists. If I am right, here is the list of specialists of the United Nations Task Force 67 "Survivalists," which should be introduced in Far Cry 2035, the core sequel to Far Cry 6.
FENRIS

Specialty: Buster Sword "Bahamut"
From a child orphan to the grown-up troublemaking FND cadet, Dani Rojas is a guerrilla of Libertad, a group of freedom fighters who oppose the rule of Anton Castillo and his fascist allies. A decade later after fighting with FND, Yara fell to the invasion sparked by the Geiger Storm PMC and their leader, the Archangel, which inspired her to become a UN activist and gain support from the United Nations' allies to form an international task force to avenge the deaths of her fellow comrades, including Juan Cortez, as well as the Legends of 67 such as Lucky Mama and Lorenzo Canseco, and seek revenge against their killer.
RICHTER
Full Name: Rick "Richter" Burgess
Nationality: Australian
Age: 38

Specialty: X-22T Heal Pistol
As a finest Australian Army's medic and outdoorsman, Rick Burgess saved more than 200 victims affected by war and terrorism across the planet. As of 2034, his task force unit was disbanded due to the death of all of his squadmates during the terrorist attack in Auckland shopping mall conducted by Geiger Storm PMCs. As the last surviving member of his former task force of Australian Army, he joins Task Force 67 to avenge all of his deceased friends and end the pointless war for peace.
BARRETT

Nationality: American
Age: 46

Specialty: Robotic Prosthetic Arm / Transformable Arm into GAU-19 Minigun
Brash. Gruff man with extreme short temper, toughness, and crude. Undefeated. Samuel Ortega is no other than his Specialist Teammates of the United Nations-commissioned Task Force 67. Having lost his left arm since he took part in the battle in Afghanistan since 2027, he was subsequently discharged from the United States Navy SEALs. In order not to become hopeless without his true left arm, he requested a prosthetic robot arm that can transform into a GAU-19 minigun from his wife's defense company MATANZA Arms. Effectively able to use it for battle, he joins Task Force 67 of the United Nations and becomes a bodyguard / a husband figure to Camilla Montero during their important task force operations in Northern Territory in Australia.
ESPADA
Full Name: Camilla "La Espada" Montero
Nationality: Yaran
Age: Unknown (Probably 20s or 30s)
Gender: Female
Specialty: LZ-5 TGS (Thunderous Gravity Spikes)
As the daughter of the Yaran tobacco farmer family, Camilla Montero knows how to survive in the wilderness throughout the years. Savage and sadistic. As a guerrilla, she and her family and allies have opposed Jose Castillo in 2021 during Anton's violent regime. After Jose's death, she became a defacto leader of Familia Montero over her late father Carlos, and joined forces with Libertad, the Legends, Maximas Matanzas, and La Moral in their final battle against Anton.
In the 2030s, she witnessed her horror when she saw her brother Alejandro being dead at the hands of Geiger Storm PMCs during the burning of Montero Farm amid the unprovoked invasion of Yara, inspiring her to join Dani's new task force in hopes of having a revenge against them. At some point after the collapse of Anton's regime, she had a daughter named Bianca.
TRON

Nationality: South Korean
Age: 36

A sci-fi zero suit soldier with high tech capabilities. Kyung Jeo is a female ass kicker with a conscience and a stronger fighting spirit. Having spent her career as a special forces trooper in 707th Special Mission Group for about 15 years, she left the military and joined the largest private military company in South Korea, the Gwang Ares, by when she learned a futuristic Taek Won Do and cyber soldier enhancement abilities. However, this may not last long until in 2035 when she and her Gwang Ares squadmates noticed that the world war started by The Archangel and her Geiger Storm forces is happening around the globe, including Seoul, Busan, and other largest cities. In response to it, she asked permission from her commander if she can be discharged from it after receiving an anonymous call from an unknown person who believes to be Dani Rojas, saying that if she can join Dani's task force to bring out the thunder to her enemies.

They were once an ally of the UN Peacekeepers as well as military forces and PMCs across the world until in 2029 when the United Nations declared that company illegal for launching an attack on the Indonesian and Philippine navies during their supply mission in South China Sea, which led to the death of its CEO. When the company was taken over eventually by his daughter Caihong Shenyang, she initiated a series of terrorist attacks across the world, starting in Valle de Oro, Eastern Yara in 2030 to the largest surprise attack on Canberra and the rest of Australian major cities in 2035, which led to the the beginning of the war on a global scale.
