Bullet Points & National Treasure
The "National Treasure" operation in Far Cry 6 is a pivotal mission that requires careful planning and execution. This guide will walk you through each step, ensuring you retrieve the valuable intel and escape unscathed. This operation is part of the main story progression and is crucial for advancing the narrative in Madrugada.
Mission Start and Initial Reconnaissance
- Location: The mission begins in Madrugada, specifically at the Verdera region.
- Objective: Your primary goal is to infiltrate a secure FND facility and retrieve vital intel.
- Preparation: Before heading in, ensure you have a good stealth weapon (like a suppressed pistol or rifle), a Resolver weapon for emergencies (e.g., "El Muro" for defense or "La Varita" for stealthy takedowns), and plenty of healing items. Consider using an Amigo like Chorizo for distraction or Oluso for stealth assistance.
Infiltrating the FND Facility
The facility is heavily guarded, so a stealthy approach is highly recommended to avoid triggering alarms and overwhelming enemy reinforcements.
- Approach from the North: The northern perimeter often offers less immediate resistance and more cover. Look for a small gap in the fence or a low wall to climb over.
- Eliminate Snipers: Prioritize any snipers on elevated positions. Use your suppressed sniper rifle (e.g., "El Depredador") to take them out silently. There's typically one on the main watchtower and another on a smaller platform near the central building.
- Disable Alarms: Locate and disable the alarm panels. There are usually two or three scattered throughout the facility. One is often found near the main entrance, another by the barracks, and a third near the objective building. Disabling them prevents reinforcements from being called.
- Stealth Takedowns: Use stealth takedowns on patrolling soldiers. Pay attention to their patrol routes and use environmental cover (bushes, crates) to your advantage.
Retrieving the Intel
The intel you need is located within the main FND building, often in a secure office or server room.
- Locate the Main Building: This is usually the largest structure in the facility, often marked on your mini-map once you're close enough.
- Find the Keycard: Accessing the intel often requires a keycard. This keycard is typically carried by a specific FND officer, sometimes referred to as a "Captain" or "Officer." Use your phone to tag enemies and identify the one carrying the key. They often have a distinct icon above their head.
- Access the Intel: Once you have the keycard, proceed to the locked door of the intel room. Interact with the computer or documents inside to retrieve the "National Treasure" intel.
Exfiltration and Escape
Once the intel is secured, your priority shifts to a safe escape.
- Choose Your Exit: Depending on how much chaos you caused, you might want to exit the way you came in, or find an alternative. Look for vehicles parked nearby or a boat if the facility is near water.
- Avoid Reinforcements: If alarms were triggered, expect FND reinforcements, including armored vehicles and elite soldiers. Use your Resolver weapons or Supremo abilities (like "Triador" for highlighting enemies or "Volta" for stunning) to clear a path.
- Reach the Extraction Point: Follow the objective marker to your designated extraction point. This might be a friendly vehicle, a rendezvous with an ally, or simply a safe distance from the facility.
- Mission Complete: Once you reach the extraction point, the "National Treasure" operation will be successfully completed, granting you XP, resources, and advancing the main story.
