AR-C returns to Far Cry New Dawn.
Far Cry New Dawn[]
The AR-C returns in Far Cry New Dawn, in which it is the most commonly used firearm by the Highwaymen.
Rusty AR-C
The Rusty AR-C is the first Assault Rifle the Player Acquires. It's a Rank 1 weapon and quickly becomes of little use. Perhaps due to its decayed nature, the reload is noticeably longer than normal. This rifle appears to be somewhat damaged, as its components are being held together with zip-ties, elastic bands, and duct tape.
AR-C "Rock Paper Scissors"
| « | Everyone and their dog is familiar with these, and for a lot of bad reasons.. | » |
| « | Who knew that half a pair of scissors, some Cougar skin, and a hell of a lot of gumption could make such a great gun? | » |
The AR-C "Rock Paper Scissors", is the sixth assault rifle the Player acquires. the gun itself has red duct tape on its stock, and it is also fitted with a scope and a scissor blade to serve as an improvised bayonet. The barrel seems to be unstable as there appears to be a zip-tie and an L-Shaped metal fixture keeping it stable.
Trivia[]
- The AR-C is a fictional weapon, primarily based on a Mega Arms MATEN .308 Winchester (7.62mm NATO) ambi billet receiver (hence the lack of a forward assist, which AR-10 pattern weapons like the MATEN often do not have) with the larger .308 magwell swapped for a .223 / 5.56mm one. The handguard is based loosely on a Daniel Defense MFR M-LOK model with the company's old 6-bolt "bolt-up" attachment system. Other parts include a Battle Arms Development Enhanced Single-Side fire selector, a Radian Weapons Raptor ambidextrous charging handle, a stock which is halfway between the Magpul ACS and UBR stocks, a stainless SureFire SOCOM muzzle brake, and somewhat inaccurately-rendered Magpul PMAGs with Ranger Plates.
- AR-C possibly stands for for "Armalite Rifle Carbine" and is a stand in for the various AR-15 carbine derivatives available for sale on the firearms market. It may also stand for "AR-15 converted" as it is heavily implied to be a full-auto conversion of a civilian AR-15.
- Despite clearly being a select-fire receiver with a marked automatic position on the fire selector, the in-game description describes the AR-C as a semi-automatic rifle.
- Like the Skorpion, Vector .45 ACP and MP5 variants, the AR-C's fire selector moves to show the selected fire mode, though like the MP5 burst and auto use the same setting.
- There is a bug in Far Cry 6 where the AR-C will not unlock after completing the Treasure Hunt "A Little Birdie Told Me" if the player completed The Vanishing prior to doing so. Ubisoft Support claims there is a fix in the works, however no details or estimated date have been given.
- In Far Cry 6 no enemies use the AR-C (except in cutscenes). However, freed hostages will always scavenge an AR-C from athe bodies of downed FND Soldados in their vicinity regardless of what weapon the dead Soldados were previously armed with. This is likely due to re-used game coding from Far Cry 5.
