Master the Roads of Yara: A Guide to Scanning Cars in Far Cry 6

In Far Cry 6, traversing the sprawling landscapes of Yara is crucial to Dani Rojas’s fight against Anton Castillo’s regime. While you’ll engage in guerilla warfare on foot and by air, vehicles are indispensable for quick travel and navigating the island. The good news is, Far Cry 6 offers a unique and convenient way to expand your garage: scanning cars with your phone. This guide will detail everything you need to know about Far Cry 6 Scanning Cars to build your personal fleet, from civilian rides to commandeering military vehicles.

Obtaining Vehicles in Far Cry 6: Scan and Drive

Far Cry 6 provides two primary methods for adding vehicles to your collection: scanning and utilizing Vehicle Pickup Points. The method depends largely on whether the vehicle is civilian or military-grade.

Scan to Unlock Non-Military Vehicles

For the vast majority of vehicles you’ll encounter in Yara – civilian cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, helicopters, and even horses – the process is remarkably simple: scan them with your in-game phone. Think of it as your high-tech car registration tool!

To scan a vehicle:

  1. Equip your phone: Press “Up” on the D-Pad (controls may vary depending on your platform – check your settings).
  2. Approach the vehicle: Position yourself at a reasonable distance from the car, ensuring it’s stationary and unoccupied.
  3. Wait for the scan: Hold your phone up and let the scanning process complete. You’ll see a progress indicator on screen.
  4. Vehicle Acquired: Once a green checkmark appears, congratulations! The vehicle is now permanently added to your collection.

This scanning method makes collecting your favorite rides incredibly easy. Spot a classic car cruising down a Yaran road? Simply pull over, encourage the driver to vacate (more on that below), and scan it to make it yours.

How to Scan Occupied Cars

Yara’s roads are bustling, and you’ll often find cars with drivers. Don’t worry, you can still scan these vehicles. Here’s a quick guide to acquiring occupied non-military cars:

Step Action
1 Stand in the car’s path.
2 “Commandeer” the vehicle. Walk to the driver’s side and interact to “Commandeer”.
3 Driver exits. The driver will quickly leave the vehicle.
4 Step back and Scan. Get some distance and scan the now-vacant car.

With these easy steps, no civilian vehicle is out of reach for your collection.

Claiming Military Vehicles at Vehicle Pickup Points

Military vehicles, being the property of Anton Castillo’s forces, require a bit more effort to acquire. Simply scanning won’t work on tanks, military trucks, or helicopters. Instead, you’ll need to commandeer these vehicles and deliver them to designated Vehicle Pickup Points.

To obtain military vehicles:

  1. Commandeer the Vehicle: Similar to occupied civilian cars, approach the driver’s side of a military vehicle and select “Commandeer”.
  2. Drive to a Pickup Point: Now, you need to drive the commandeered military vehicle to a Vehicle Pickup Point. These are special locations marked on your map.

Locating Vehicle Pickup Points

Vehicle Pickup Points are your designated drop-off locations for military vehicles. They are easily identifiable by their green and white icons on both your main map and the minimap.

When you commandeer a military vehicle, locate the nearest Pickup Point of the matching vehicle type (car, boat, air) and drive it there. Once you reach the designated zone at the Pickup Point, the vehicle will be automatically added to your collection.

Accessing and Using Your Vehicle Collection

Once you’ve scanned or delivered vehicles to Pickup Points, they become readily available for your use throughout Yara.

Summoning Vehicles from Pickup Points

To access your vehicle collection and summon a ride:

  1. Visit a Vehicle Pickup Point: Go to any Vehicle Pickup Point icon on your map.
  2. Interact with the Pickup Point: Approach the location and interact (usually by pressing a button prompt).
  3. Choose your Vehicle: You’ll be presented with a list of all the vehicles you’ve collected for that vehicle type (land, air, or sea). Select the vehicle you want to use.
  4. Vehicle Delivered: Your chosen vehicle will be instantly delivered for you to use.

It’s important to note that these collected vehicles are separate from the “Rides” menu. The “Rides” menu vehicles are story-specific and cannot be used to summon your scanned or commandeered vehicles. To access your personal vehicle collection, always use Vehicle Pickup Points.

Expand Your Garage and Rule the Roads of Yara

Mastering the art of Far Cry 6 scanning cars and utilizing Vehicle Pickup Points is key to building a versatile vehicle collection in Far Cry 6. Whether you prefer cruising in style in a classic car or causing chaos in a commandeered tank, Yara’s roads are yours to conquer. So get out there, explore, scan every vehicle you find, and build the ultimate Yaran garage!
