Ubisoft has released patch notes for the title update 5 coming to Far Cry 6 today, March 22. The update is now live on all platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The patch brings several improvements to gameplay, with the biggest being the addition of a totally new difficulty called Guerilla Mode. According to developers, this mode will increase the combat difficulty for players by reducing the ammo, gadget counts, and pickups available. Beware though, Guerilla Mode requires a new game start and once players begin, they cannot reduce the difficulty.
The patch sizes for update 5 per console are as follows:
PC: 6.53 GB without HD Texture Pack, 7.69 with HD Texture Pack
Xbox One: 8.57 GB
Xbox Series X | S: 11.08 GB
PlayStation 4: ~15 GB, depending on selected language pack
