Completionists will likely complete Far Cry 6 and still not have been promoted to the highest rank in the game. That means every single chest has been gathered, every puzzle is solved, every mission gets completed, and yet, Dani will still be left wondering exactly how high the ranks actually get.

Even though this sounds like a straightforward answer, it's a bit more complicated than that, so there is a good reason that several other Far Cry 6 guides appear to contradict each other. This guide will attempt to navigate the reason for the discrepancies in these responses to a seemingly simple question.

Updated on December 9th, 2021 by Hodey Johns: Now that players have gotten further into the game and have continued to participate in limited-time events and uncover mysteries, it's beginning to take hold exactly where the player experience caps out. When this guide was written it was, conveniently, at the maximum level, but an experience bar made the author think there was more to go. Having hit the end of that bar without leveling, the answer is now much more concrete and this guide has been updated with a section that details that exact answer.

Level Twenty - The Highest Rank

The simple answer is that level twenty is the highest rank. There are gamers on forums who have claimed to be up to rank 35, but having firsthand experience and not using any mods, once the bar is filled up at level twenty, it goes no further.

Leveling initially appears that it might continue for eternity. There has been some experimentation to see if there is a way around this cap, but none of it has been successful so far. Learning to play co-op better is a wise move, but it will not, unfortunately, push the bar past level twenty, no matter how skilled the player is.

The Highest Level That Matters

At level fourteen, players hit the rank Comandante. At rank fifteen, they hit Comandante 2, which feels like it might last until the very end of the game (more on that in the next section). Players do receive a slight boost to their stats at each ranked level, but Dani's enemies get a buff too, and theirs is very strong.

At level fifteen, players unlock the very last of the equipment that Juan Cortez and his cohorts sell. Having all of the valuable Supremo upgrades available is an important landmark. Anything beyond level fifteen is purely for showing off as there is no in-game advantage to being any higher than this.

Hitting Leyenda

Showing off is still very much alive and well in the gaming community, though, so some players are still interested if there is a maximum rank and, if so, what it might be. After all, players like to show off their newly acquired overclocked guns, so it stands to reason that they will also try to show off their ranks.

Far Cry 6 was released on October 7, 2021, and is available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and PC.
