Far Cry 6 Amigos guide: How to unlock all pets & which is best?

Amigos are loyal animal companions in Far Cry 6, ranging from the adorable Chorizo to the deadly Oluso, and they all come with unique perks and abilities. Here’s how to unlock every single one of them.

Animal sidekicks are back in Far Cry 6 to help you take down Anton Castillo’s forces. These Amigos have perks to help you do everything from distracting your enemies to stealthy takedowns and even looting more money from dead bodies.

There are five Amigos you can unlock in the standard game (Guapo, Chorizo, Chicharron, Boom Boom, and Oluso) as well as two bonus Amigos (K-9000 and Champagne) that can be unlocked as DLC and as part of Far Cry 6 Ultimate Edition.

Here’s how to unlock all of the Amigos released in Far Cry 6 so far, as well as details of their unique special abilities and which one we think is the best teammate to take into battle with you.

How to unlock Guapo the Crocodile

Guapo is a deadly crocodile, and he’s the first Amigo that gets unlocked in Far Cry 6. You’ll find him automatically during the ‘Juan of a Kind’ Operation, which is part of the game’s prologue so you can’t avoid doing it.

His main ability is Ancient Survivor, which allows him to passively recover health over time and self-revive after being defeated. This makes him one of the easiest Amigos to use, as you won’t have to pay too much attention to him.

Here are Guapo’s unlockable abilities in Far Cry 6:

How to unlock Chorizo the Sausage Dog

Players can unlock Chorizo as a reward for the ‘Who’s A Good Boy?’ Yaran Story. You can begin this optional sidequest in the Montero Farm of the Madrugada region once you’ve finished the ‘Meet the Monteros’ Operation.

Chorizo may be an adorable sausage dog, but don’t let that fool you, as he’s a great asset in battle. With the Attention-Seeker ability, he’ll distract enemies with his cuteness while you sneak around them or go in for the kill.

How to unlock Chicharrón the Rooster

When you’re not busy using Roosters in Cockfights, you can actually have one as your Amigo. Chicharrón is unlocked as part of the ‘Man’s Best Enemy’ Yaran Story, which begins when you read the Yaran Story note in Patriotas Peak camp.

Don’t let his size fool you, as Chicharrón is an intimidating little fella with a “lust for battle” that simply can’t be satiated. His main ability, Angry Bird, allows him to fling himself at enemies from a distance and attack them.

How to unlock Boom Boom the Dog

Boom Boom is a big dog that can be unlocked as a reward for completing the ‘Boom or Bust’ Yaran Story. He can be found locked inside a blue shipping container west of Feroza town in the Valle De Oro region.

As well as being a fierce attacker, Boom Boom’s main ability Fetch, Boy will allow him to retrieve resources from the bodies of dead enemies, making him a great Amigo to have when you’re running low on certain items.

How to unlock Oluso the Panther

The panther Oluso can be unlocked by completing the ‘Triada Blessings’ Yaran Story. To do this, you’ll need to complete three treasure hunts: Ída’s Triada Relic, Okú’s Triada Relic, and Mimo Abosi’s Triada Relic.

Oluso is a sneaky attacker, making him one of the best Amigos to have on your team for missions that require stealth. His main ability, Shadow Striker, allows him to slay enemies quickly and silently from the shadows.

How to unlock K-9000 the Metal Dog

Unlike the previous Amigos in this guide, which require you to complete missions to get them, K-9000 can only be unlocked if you have the Blood Dragon Pack, which is part of the Far Cry 6 Season Pass.

This metal dog has the main ability Iron Skin, which grants him immunity to fire and poison, and reduces the amount of damage taken from enemy bullets. As a result, he’s one of the sturdiest Amigos in the game.

Here are K-9000’s unlockable abilities in Far Cry 6:

How to unlock Champagne

Like K-9000, you can’t unlock Champagne by completing quests. The only way to get Champagne is to own the VICE Pack DLC, which is available if you purchase Far Cry 6 Ultimate Edition.

Champagne’s main ability is Status Symbol, which allows her to collect more money from the bodies of dead enemies. This is a great ability if you’re saving up to buy something special, and she’s a solid fighter, too.

Here are Champagne’s unlockable abilities in Far Cry 6:

Which Amigo is best in Far Cry 6?

With seven Amigos on offer, you might be wondering which animal is best to have by your side. We think Oluso is the best, as his stealthy abilities will stop him from alerting enemies to your presence and help you progress through dangerous situations.

As each Amigo has its own unique abilities, it’s definitely worth switching them up depending on your current needs. If you’re stocking up on money, for example, choose Champagne. If you need more resources, go with Chorizo.

You might find that Amigos just aren’t your style: They can alert enemies to your presence when you’re trying to be sneaky and tend to get eliminated quickly in heated battles anyway. If this is the case, simply leave them behind.
