Joseph: Collapse is the third DLC released for Far Cry 6. It was released on February 8th, 2022.
The release of this DLC brings multiple Far Cry 5 themed items to Far Cry 6.
Plot[]
"In Hope County, Montana,
A man prepared his followers for the end of the world,
He Failed.
In the wake of disaster, he hid himself underground,
Tortured by his faith and the title he gave himself,
The Father, Joseph Seed."
Joseph Seed must collect all three pieces of his broken cross.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay of Far Cry 6 Joseph: Collapse is very similar to the previous two DLCs, Vaas: Insanity and Pagan: Control. The gameplay follows the same rogue-like approach as before. You collect currency by killing enemies, opening chests, and completing quests. Instead of Cash or Respect, Joseph collects Penance. In the game, if you die for whatever reason, you lose all inventory items and have to start over from the beginning. All locations discovered, all challenges completed, all Cash collected, and all weapons gathered are reset and have to be found and/or completed all over again.
However, there are some things that are a permanent fixture across all runs regardless of death. This includes Traits that are acquired from the Mirror that provides bonuses to health, abilities, etc., as well as Weapon Cases in the Armory that allow access to three Weapon types: Primary, Secondary, and Specialist. Both of these are present in every Safe Zone on the map of which there are four: the Garden in the center and three Safe Houses that can be found and unlocked in the three sections of the map formed by the dirt trail leading to the main Memory quests: the Beach, the Jungle, and the Volcano. Control of these places excluding the Garden resets upon death as.
The Mirror allows Joseph to upgrade five Traits with levels that require increasingly expensive infusions of Penance to acquire and which affect things like Joseph's health bar, how much Penance will be retained upon resetting after death (up to being able to recover your entire inventory by finding the spot where you died in the last run), stealth abilities and takedowns, new combat abilities, and gaining Gadget slots to use tools like throwing knives and Molotovs.
Weapon Cases in the Armory are only unlocked after completing an Armory challenge for the specific weapon type around the map. The Weapon Cases can be upgraded with Penance to allow for the purchasing of Weapons with one or more Mods that enhance their quality of use, the upgrades of which are permanent. Across all runs, only the pistol is given for free to ensure the player has the means to defend themselves, while other weapons have to be bought from their specific Cases with Penance. With a small infusion of Penance, every weapon can have its Mods rerolled at random.
The game has five Mind Levels representing the level of difficulty, and completing the first run on Mind Level 1 will unlock the other four. With each level in ascending difficulty, however, the enemies become stronger and more resilient, in addition to tougher enemy types showing up in greater numbers during quests, while also dropping better rewards such as higher Penance drops. Enemies in "Collapse" consist mostly of the violent apparitions of the people of Hope County who will attack Joseph on sight with different weapon types, as well as wildlife with a similar appearance and disposition like Attack Dogs and Wolves. In the main Memory quests, and on Mind Levels higher than 1, out in the map, Joseph will encounter one of several variants of John, Jacob, and Faith Seed; Pastor Jerome, Ethan Seed and The Judge as mini-bosses with a yellow health bar.
In addition to Penance, occasionally fallen enemies will drop a heart item that conveys a Temporary Power, passive buffs of which there are two types, Common and Rare, These buffs are put into slots and can be swapped out for others when a new one is found. Joseph begins with one slot and, with increasingly larger infusions of Penance, can gain up to eight slots. These Powers can also be found in specially-marked chests and sometimes rewarded at the end of a quest. Importantly, Joseph can come across a Golden Hutia (the small rodent animals). This happens most often during and at the end of a Challenging Trial of which there are three in the world. If these creatures are killed before they run off and disappear, they drop a moderate amount of Penance and a guaranteed, albeit random Rare-type Power. If a Power cannot or won't be used, then it can be sold for a moderate to high infusion of Penance depending on both the Mind Level and the rarity of the Power. The Armory in a Safe Zone also allows for a random selection of Temporary Powers to be bought with Penance.
Fast travel in Collapse does not work the same as it does in the main game. Instead of being able to go to any location from any other location, Joseph must either travel there on foot or use one of three pairs of Memory Link locations that only allow for point-to-point travel between the doors of the same number; 1, 2, or 3. One Trait upgrade unlocks the use of the Parachute and Wingsuit while another unlocks the spawning of quad vehicles at the various Safe Houses.
