To destroy a cannon in Far Cry 6, particularly the large anti-aircraft guns or fixed turrets, you must use explosive weapons. These cannons pose a significant threat, especially when attempting to use air vehicles, as they can quickly shoot down aircraft.
Understanding the Cannons (Anti-Aircraft Guns)
In Far Cry 6, what players often refer to as "cannons" are typically the anti-aircraft guns strategically placed throughout Yara. These formidable turrets restrict air travel in certain zones, making their destruction a priority for players who wish to explore the island from the skies. Destroying them not only clears the airspace but often contributes to liberating specific areas or completing objectives.
Method for Destruction
The most effective and straightforward way to neutralize these cannons is by utilizing explosives.
Recommended Steps:
- Approach the Cannon: Get close enough to the large gun structure to target it accurately.
- Equip Explosive Weaponry: Switch to an explosive weapon or throwable.
- Target the Base: Aim for the base or the main structure of the giant turret. This is generally the most vulnerable point.
- Unleash Explosives:
- Dynamite is highly effective and works exceptionally well for this task. Throw a stick of dynamite directly at the base of the anti-aircraft gun.
- Other explosive tools like Grenades, Rocket Launchers, or even well-placed Explosive Rounds from a grenade launcher can also achieve the desired result.
- Confirm Destruction: Once enough explosive damage is dealt, the anti-aircraft gun will be destroyed, often resulting in a satisfying explosion and clearing the airspace in that region.
Benefits of Destruction:
- Free Roaming: Destroying these cannons allows you to safely roam the skies in your chosen aircraft without the threat of being shot down by enemy fire.
- Mission Progression: Many missions or area liberations require clearing the anti-aircraft presence to progress.
- Resources: Destroyed anti-aircraft sites often yield valuable resources and sometimes even unlock new fast travel points.
By following these steps, you can efficiently eliminate the cannon threats and gain unrestricted access to the skies of Yara.
