The P226 is a sidearm that appears in Far Cry 5, Far Cry New Dawn and Far Cry 6.
Far Cry 5[]
The P226 is a sidearm that becomes available for purchase in shops after reaching level 2 on the resistance meter in any region. It does one less point damage than the 1911 (although a single headshot will kill normal enemies even on Hard Difficulty) but makes up for it with one more point in handling and two more rounds in the magazine (10 as default, 12 as extended). Whether said trade-off is worth it is up to player preference. No enemies in game carry this weapon nor can it be found lying around in the game world.
The P226 "Amendment 2" is the Prestige version of the P226. IT can fit the same attachments as the regular P226 but it's paint job cannot be changed due to being a Prestige weapon.
Far Cry New Dawn[]
Makeshift P226

Far Cry 6[]
The P226 returns as a Rank 4 Sidearm in Far Cry 6. It cannot be purchased at the stores and is instead given to the player at the start of the penultimate story mission The Lion's Den. It can be equipped with ammo upgrades, muzzle upgrades (suppressors), a laser pointer or sights, and has three mod slots.
The unique variant, Lethal Dose, can be unlocked after completing the Treasure Hunt The mongoose and the man. It's a rank 3 weapon that is equipped with soft target rounds, a micro reflex sight, and the Extended Magazine and Reload All mods.
The overclocked variant of the P226 is The Principle and is available for purchase at the online store, either as part of the Heisenberg Bundle or separately, in exchange for Far Cry Credits or real money.
Trivia[]
- The P226 is a real weapon made by the Swiss company SIG-Sauer.[1]
- The in game weapon has a 10 round magazine with a 12 round extended magazine. In real life the P226 has a 15 round magazine as standard, with 10 round magazines being available in localities with magazine capacity restrictions (such as Canada, where the game developer Ubisoft Montreal is based). A 12 round magazine would be correct for the .40 Smith & Wesson variant of the P226, however the inscription on the barrel of the P226 indicates it's chambered in 9mm.
