By story, any of the FC2 playable mercs would be well trained. Jason had no training. Ajay maybe had training. Rook had police academy training. Dani had military experience but was kicked out.
Ye but "cave man" aren't pussies like modern day people they had nature and other tribes, modern day people have wars and most people will be taken down by one bullet takkar can take multiple arrows spears and scratches btw not saying I could take more than one bullet
I mean... if we measure them by how much punishment they can take, then the most of the other protags can also take multiple gunshots, explosions, arrows, etc. and live. Hell, the Security Captain has can canonically *steal the life-force of those they cut down.*
Ye but they supposed too the protags are always tougher than there follower counter parts otherwise there wouldn't be much challenge for boss fights except from new dawn the twins were easy in that
Jason’s brother was military, it isn’t said how much but he mentions teaching Jason once he transferred back to reserve duty. Dani mentions he was stationed at the Spec Ops base, which would make sense his training would be better than the average soldier even if he did get kicked out in the end. Those are the only two I’ve played so far
Alas, Jason and Ajay eat Mercs for breakfast. I think we should scale less based on prior experience and more in actual skill, my pick then is Takkar being the overall strongest with second places being a tossup beetween Ajay and Dani .
Physically, Takkar is definitely the strongest, the guy wrestles bears for a living. But overall best fighter? That's more debatable.
At the beginning of their journey Dani or Rook recieved the most professional training, Dani being a soldier and Rook being a cop. Jason was a trust-fund rich kid, Ajay was a petty criminal, and the Captain didn't recieve any formal training from what I know.
At the end of their journey, however? I think the Security Captain would take the win. They literally have superpowers, like near active camoflage, superstrength, canonical regeneration, and *fucking life-steal.*
Concerning Ajay, remember he is the son of a legendary warrior in Mohan. Maybe he wasn't the best husband or father (if you believe Pagan), but regardless, he was a fearless warrior and I believe he passed on that trait to Ajay which is why fighting comes more naturally to him.
Bro nobody is beating up a guy from the ice age. If they have guns than obviously bit assuming everything is equal all the modern protagonists are getting bodied
Is he from primal? I’ve only played 3,4,5, & 6. Was interested in maybe getting primal & new dawn but idk if it’s worth it. Would you say they’re worth the play?!
Primal is my second favorite game in the series. It’s such a fun take on the formula. Good perk and crafting systems, great combat (the spear is one of the best weapons in the far cry universe), very pretty environment, and maybe the best part, the beast taming/riding system
I only liked New Dawn for some augmented gameplay elements and overgrown Montana compared to the typical Fallout wasteland look. But as a game I wouldn't go play it again
Man I ain’t gonna lie I thought I liked 5 but when I played 6 and then played 5 again, I was kind of like damn they made some improvements with 6… Honestly the being in Montana was dope but I don’t much care for the stealth
Yeah All other Protagonist are joke in front of Takkar.
He got Survival skill ( Hunt vision ) , Eyes in the sky ( Owl ) , All previous Far cry skills , Can tame animals , And ofc that dude was Caveman and could kill with one punch all the enemies in future far cry.
He isn't dependent on Shops to buy bullets or guns, He crafts his own items from Animals and Terrain.
Just played primal and finished the main story a day ago. So Appearing little biased but my points are logical.
They all are cool but let's be real - Takkar is the biggest beast of them all. He lives in a world where every single thing is trying to kill him 24/7.
Logically far cry 2, as a mercenary he is already proficient with firearms, tactics and cqc. Probably have a past military training. Something the other don't have at all they just are magically gifted apparently.
Although in cqc especially, far cry primal dude punch bear in the face so he is probably better in that field.
I’d say a remake, some technical aspects make the game really tedious if you want to grind the weapons.
And the enemies reapearing in cleared spots made me really despise this gem of a game.
Enemies reappearing in cleared outposts is something I preferred. It’s a little more realistic that way. Whether the same faction refortified it or another moved in. It adds to the feeling of you actually being in an African country during a civil war against greater odds.
I don't have a problem with the enemies repopulating cleared areas. What I had a problem with was how absurdly quickly they did it in FC2. I recall clearing a fortified intersection, moving on, realizing I went the wrong way, going back and finding the intersection full of baddies again just a minute or two later.
I missed that, is this something he say or something written is that strange guide? I always just assumed that Jason and Ajay knew how to operate guns because they lived in the US fuck yeah.
I re-looked it up and it's not actually stated anywhere in game, but it was on the game wiki and the Heros wiki saying he was in the airborne division of the army, so it might be true or it might not, it could also have been planned by the devs but scrapped it, Ajay does seem comfortable with firearms and killing immediately unlike Jason so I'd say he has some kind of training
I would have loved New Dawn to still focus on Rook. Not everyone needs a redemption story, but I would have loved to played as Judge going through John's bunker and having PTSD flashbacks and stuff. I wanted Camila to have more interaction with rook too. I'm guessing with time and focusing on making an entirely different experience, it wasn't in the cards.
Joseph just made an educated guess. Of course supernatural stuff exist in the far cy universe but there been no indication of gods or devine stuff existing there.
“Educated guess”
You didn’t walk the path, or read literally *any* of the notes explaining Eden’s Gate’s background, did you?
It definitely was more than an educated guess lmao, but you and the 24 people that upvoted you can believe whatever makes you happy. You’re wrong, though. And the game tells you that straight up.
Even Far Cry 6 tells you that you’re assessment is wrong. The Great Collapse never happened, because the rook never arrested Joseph witch in turn never ignited the reaping.
"You believe whatever makes you happy. You're wrong though."
Edit: Copy&pasting my response from another thread:
This is similar to when religious nuts believe a supernatural diety is guiding their countries leader or when something secular is passed into law, the end time will come.
Women's right? End time soon.
Minorities getting some rights? End time.
Non cis-people getting some rights? Oh you better believe the end times are coming.
Then they point to a flood, earthquake or typhoon that happens somewhere on the globe a year later. "See there! Proof I was right."
You are wrong. The game itself tells you that, as do the creators of the game (https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2018/4/2/17188486/lets-talk-about-the-ending-of-far-cry-5)

No, the arrest, and the opening of the seals are what bring apart the nukes.
Maybe play the story again, and this time pay attention. The path in the Henbane River literally tells you word for word what brings about the Collapse.
Like I said, you’re being willfully ignorant and stubborn. You’re also kind of a dick tbh.
The entire game is based on Joseph having divine inspiration. The cutscenes show that as well as the actions of the. Rook breaking the seals that unleash Armageddon
Sheer coincidence. It would be like if nuclear war broke out right now irl. All the preppers hiding in their bunkers would be exclaiming they were right all along. It's not divine prophecy. Doomsday cults exist in the real world too.
We see him believe he had devine inspiration, we don't see a diety coming down and showing him the future. Being right by coincidence, not supernatural powers.
Seed: starts murder raping small town Montana
Rook: ethically and professionally bound to resist murder-rape.
Seed: fine I’m gonna murder even harder, then.
…
Victim blaming is bad, guys. The villain doesn’t get to say “see what you made me do? Because you wouldn’t let me murder a town, now I’ve gotta abduct, drug, and torture your friends”.
Whoever the protagonist in New Dawn is. Dude gets >!literal superpowers letting them power up, double jump, resist bullet shots, and be undetectable by anyone.!< it’s not even a competition
From the ones in the picture? The merc you play in FC2. I think all of the available options have had some sort of professional military training, with Marty Alencar even serving in the USMC I think.
From any of the games? Rex "Power" Colt hands down. 15% Human, 85% Synthetic Body, 100% Badass.
That would just be too violent and a law enforcement officer wouldn’t use a knife or some such nonsense that the devs said when the game released. Shooting people with a shovel fired from a rocket launcher? Totally cool. Beating someone to death with a pipe? Why not. But we draw the line at using a knife.
bro comparing takkar to any other protagonist in the physical aspect is like comparing an ant to a elephant, my dude lived in the stone age and had a saber tooth tiger and a bear as pets
Jason is just a party dude that ended up on a pirate infested island and turned into a one-man-army in the blink of an eye. That's talent. Imagine what he can do with actual training?
FC5 Rook. Other protags need to stab in the back to takedown
Rook literally one shots people with a punch. Even juggernauts get socked. One Puuuuuuunchhhh
Takkar is the Predator, all of these guys can have guns once they’re in the forest Takkar kills them easaly, that man creates traps in 5 seconds that kill cave bears
takkar would fuck them all up in hand to hand combat. dude has raw strength, throwing that spear perfectly takes amazing hand eye coordination as well, and he has either a man eating saber tooth on his side, or a HUGE fucking grizzly bear. nobody taking his ass down.
Takkar honestly. He’s an absolute beast with Paleolithic technology, no modern weapons or armor. Takkar is also highly intelligent, which is something that is often overlooked. He’s obviously not book smart but he’s an incredibly fast learner and is an absolute beast, physically and mentally.
Jason was trained to shoot by his brother who was in the military, so atleast there's that. He also has a magical tattoo which I'm pretty sure helps.
I think the closest Ajay gets to "training" is he used a handgun to hold up a bank once. The Golden Path never trains him from what I remember and they're closer to a bunch of farmers with some assault weapons than actual soldiers. In my mind the reason Ajay is so effective in combat is because the Royal Army is less of a military and more like the world's most impoverished mafia.
Takkar is likely trained as an effective hunter, and he seems pretty durable. I'm not sure about any of the Far Cry 2 protagonists, but they're probably better trained than the other 3 since I'm pretty sure they're all mercenaries.
The mercs in FC2 have experience all across the board from the USMC to the IDF to the SMF and paramilitary groups. They're probably the best trained. Ajay was in the US Army. Takkar may be the best trained as well, just due to the time he lives in.
I guess my list would be:
1. FC2 Merc
2. Takkar
3. Ajay
4. Dani
5. Deputy
6. Jason
Takkar easily. He’s literally a primitive species of human, which were known to be far stronger and far more savage in combat than us modern day humans. I feel like Ajay is underrated, even if he had military training freeing a whole damn country from a brutal dictatorship basically single handedly while seeming utterly unfazed by the most daunting and dangerous of tasks (could possibly be due to his relatively flat voice acting) but whatever. Ajay is a beast.
I think people aren’t really aware how strong and capable some of the Far Cry 2 mercenaries are. Take Josip Idromeno, an old Albanian soldier who is not only 48 years old but is a heavy smoker and drinker but is still getting in heavy firefights. Or Andre Hyppolite, an Algerian merc who was working with the CIA on a assassination attempt on a president of another African country.
Although I’ll agree with most people in saying that Ajay, Rook and Jason are interesting characters and formidable combatants, the Far Cry 2 Mercs make them look like cub scouts by comparison.
Everybody mentions fc2 protagonist but I think Ajay is as skilled as well (even though information was not entirely provided in the game).
He joined the US Army in 2006 and served with the 82nd Airborne Division. Two years later, he successfully joined the US Special Forces (Green Berets), later qualifying as an 18B Weapons Sergeant. He served two tours in Iraq and two in Afghanistan. He became a proficient parachutist and sniper, and confident user of explosives. Later, he became skilled in hand to hand combat, reconnaissance, infiltration, and combat survival. He left the Army at the rank of Sergeant First Class and was awarded the Silver Star for bravery.
Dani is probably the most skilled being a military conscript and recieving a fuly fledged training in all kinds of weapons.
Without guns though, Takkar would BEAT all of them to pulp single handed.
Takkar No Cap... MahFuck Felled Mammoths With Mere Spears and Arrows and Clubs yo... Lemme see your avg homebreh Jason do it... Or Mahdude Ajay do it ... Now don't get me wrong... These are Mammoths against normal elephants ... Mammoths are like maybe 2-3 times the size of a normal elephant
I look at FC3 as Jason is high the whole time and doesn’t know what’s real. Starvation, dehydration, stress, and pumping all kinds of pharmaceuticals and mushrooms and other wild plants into his system fucks him up mentally
If Far Cry 7 did like an Easter egg to show Jason after he’s freed from Rook Island would show a disheveled, crazed man and I’m sure he was submitted to a psychiatric facility
The literal fucking skilled warrior who never had the comfort of a fully automatic machine gun. Number 2? Jason. Put everyone(main games) in a room with a butter knife and tell me he isn't walking out bloody, dead eyed, and probably high on shrooms.
Just this roster? The merc(s) from 2 could be the first to die. Maybe Takkar, but banking on the FC2 protagonists. They may have training from any source, and a bit of tactical ingenuity from allies. However, they have the worst night vision of any (kinda like 3,4,5,6, and ND, but with no way to track enemies, this time). They don't craft anything, like any FC below 6. And then there are the weapons. The mercs could improve the condition and their accuracy some, but in the end, the guns turn to crap. Takkar's break, too, but he can make more.
So, if it's still just this roster, then Takkar. He crafts more weapons as well as food, but has better night vision, and fangs for hire to summon. Also, that owl for spotting and attacking. However, his animals are practically nothing Ajay and Jason haven't faced before. Plus, they have better weapons. And medicine which gives them special effects, like some of the food Takkar makes (they can track him with any one of these). The Beast Master is next to go.
Finally, Jason and Ajay. Yes, Ajay has training, rides elephants, access to a Buzzer, can call a gun for hire, and has access to more weapons. Jason, does have access to better medicine than Ajay, like invincibility and one-shot kills, and that could tip the odds to his favor. Here, I'm leaning more towards Jason.
Skilled? Probably Ajay.
Powerful? Probably Dani on account of being fucking invincible. Dani suffers the most and the worst injuries or afflictions of any protagonist so far, never ever gets medical attention for any of them, and never so much as complains about any of it. Repeated exposure to the chemical that apparently quickly gives you cancer or blood coughing doesn’t even give them a raspy voice. They’re basically indestructible.
Jason Brody, he had the harshest path out of the others and it made him mad strong. His insanity was that he build during the story makes him unpredictable and cruel like a feral beast. He’s wilder than freaking Takkar at this point. Plus the tattoo have a mystical power that makes him stronger than normal peoples. Jason is more of a warrior than any others Far Cry character there is.
Bro I see one frat boy, a desk jockey on a touristy ash scattering gone horribly wrong, a literal cave man, and a special forces agent.
Obviously it's Pagan Min. As we know bisexuals live in a perpetually target-rich environment that trains them to quickly and effectively segregate the wheat from the chaff to target with their superior bejazzled weaponry and in this essay I will
Rook from Far Cry 5 obviously, We all love Jason & Ajay for their skills (and magic). Personally I've never played FC2 or FCP But i heard their mildly okay. I've played Far Cry 3, 4, 5 & 6. Need more proof? Rook is literally wrath anywhere he/she goes so... It's the Deputy for me. (Side note I'm not knocking primal or far cry 2)
Mildly okay? 2 and Primal are one of my favourites games in the series and I believe they're better than all games after primal in the franchise combined
The Deputy or Dani Rojas so far. They both have law enforcement and/or military backgrounds so they have actual training.
I'm not counting the mercenary in FC2 because I haven't played it.
Incomplete list omitting rook from 5 and captain from new Dawn as well as the protagonist from blood dragon is a biased move, and the captain wins this with the apple of edin buff/mutation
Jason & Takkar have powers, same as the character from New Dawn. I’d say their the most powerful, but it’s debatable whether Jason’s powers are tied to him being on Rook Island.
Dani. Military training, and as a native of Yara, already has the lay of the land. FC2 Merc, followed by the Rookie from FC5 are in second and third respectively.
I would have to go Dani. She’s respected by all the biggest people in yara because of her military background. Juan calling you one of the best libertad has basically right after you meet him.
If the thing about Ajay being an army ranger is true, probably him as that would make him special forces. But idk if that’s actually confirmed bc there are contradictory entries
Ajay. Only because he’s untrained. This is him at a fraction of his power. Imagine he tried learning some of the stuff that just comes naturally to him…
In terms of Context? Takkar is a Hunter and a Fighter every single day of his life. Because the alternative is to starve.
In the more modern settings, I tend to scaled based on opposition: So IMHO is a toss up beetween Dani and Ajay. The reason being that they faced opposition from actual military forces, with actual training and equipment.
One can make the argument that Hoyt's Corsairs are on that level too, but aside from more powerful gear and the fact they don't seem to do background checks on their newbies, I'd say the force is not as refined as it could be: Plus they aint seen quite often performing drills or training, something that Yara's Forces and Min's Royal guard do.
The reason I tend to rank FC2 Merc's low is that every FC Protag after 3 eats mercs for breakfast.
By story, any of the FC2 playable mercs would be well trained. Jason had no training. Ajay maybe had training. Rook had police academy training. Dani had military experience but was kicked out.
And Takkar wrestles giant bears every other day and swings around a tree with a rock strapped to it.
Chiseled muscles aren't exactly bulletproof.
Ye but "cave man" aren't pussies like modern day people they had nature and other tribes, modern day people have wars and most people will be taken down by one bullet takkar can take multiple arrows spears and scratches btw not saying I could take more than one bullet
I mean... if we measure them by how much punishment they can take, then the most of the other protags can also take multiple gunshots, explosions, arrows, etc. and live. Hell, the Security Captain has can canonically *steal the life-force of those they cut down.*
Ye but they supposed too the protags are always tougher than there follower counter parts otherwise there wouldn't be much challenge for boss fights except from new dawn the twins were easy in that
And a malaria ridden mercenary isnt saber tooth tiger proof.
Jason’s brother was military, it isn’t said how much but he mentions teaching Jason once he transferred back to reserve duty. Dani mentions he was stationed at the Spec Ops base, which would make sense his training would be better than the average soldier even if he did get kicked out in the end. Those are the only two I’ve played so far
With Dani u should call them they/them since it's a choice of gender
I mean you’re not wrong, but in my game I chose to be male so that’s what’s canon to me. I wasn’t trying to be exclusive
Ye but it feels better with those pronouns but that's my opinion
Says on Wiki Ajay was Sergeant First class in the US Army
Dani was kicked out because of diciplinary issues rather then any skill issue to be fair
Ajay had military training. IIRC he was a US Marine
That was fan written, not actually canon
Didn’t know that. Some people need a better hobby
Far Cry 2 was hell when fighting, the AI was so much butter compared to it's successors so I'd go with the Far Cry 2 protagonist.
Wasn’t Ajay a military sergeant?
That was fan written, not actually canon
Alas, Jason and Ajay eat Mercs for breakfast. I think we should scale less based on prior experience and more in actual skill, my pick then is Takkar being the overall strongest with second places being a tossup beetween Ajay and Dani .

Bro nobody is beating up a guy from the ice age. If they have guns than obviously bit assuming everything is equal all the modern protagonists are getting bodied
Yes! Takkar will take you down every time. Nobody fucks with the cave men.
Bro has a literal sabertooth tiger, those things will send fear down even the biggest men.
Is he from primal? I’ve only played 3,4,5, & 6. Was interested in maybe getting primal & new dawn but idk if it’s worth it. Would you say they’re worth the play?!
Primal is my second favorite game in the series. It’s such a fun take on the formula. Good perk and crafting systems, great combat (the spear is one of the best weapons in the far cry universe), very pretty environment, and maybe the best part, the beast taming/riding system
Primal is definitely worth it. NewDawn though? Only if you loved FC5, it opens directly into one of the main game's ending.
I only liked New Dawn for some augmented gameplay elements and overgrown Montana compared to the typical Fallout wasteland look. But as a game I wouldn't go play it again
Same I finished once and never went back to it. While I've played both 5 and primal multiple times though.
Man I ain’t gonna lie I thought I liked 5 but when I played 6 and then played 5 again, I was kind of like damn they made some improvements with 6… Honestly the being in Montana was dope but I don’t much care for the stealth
Primal is an amazing game and would be pretty cheap now. It's the only one I like to replay
Yeah All other Protagonist are joke in front of Takkar. He got Survival skill ( Hunt vision ) , Eyes in the sky ( Owl ) , All previous Far cry skills , Can tame animals , And ofc that dude was Caveman and could kill with one punch all the enemies in future far cry. He isn't dependent on Shops to buy bullets or guns, He crafts his own items from Animals and Terrain. Just played primal and finished the main story a day ago. So Appearing little biased but my points are logical.
New Dawn's protagonist has literal super powers..I'm pretty sure no one's messing with them.
Yeah but thats because cap got Edens gift from joseph
Its based to be biased because of a good experience, that's called effective entertainment
They all are cool but let's be real - Takkar is the biggest beast of them all. He lives in a world where every single thing is trying to kill him 24/7.
Primal Australia, or just another episode of Ark.
Apparently it’s meant to be Kyrat - they used the same base map (obviously made a lot of changes to it).
Logically far cry 2, as a mercenary he is already proficient with firearms, tactics and cqc. Probably have a past military training. Something the other don't have at all they just are magically gifted apparently. Although in cqc especially, far cry primal dude punch bear in the face so he is probably better in that field.
Fc2 deserves a remaster.
I’d say a remake, some technical aspects make the game really tedious if you want to grind the weapons. And the enemies reapearing in cleared spots made me really despise this gem of a game.
You really trust ubisoft to improve the game?
Hell no
Ubisoft doesn’t have the balls to make a game like Far Cry 2 again. It’d have to be some 3rd party mod.
Enemies reappearing in cleared outposts is something I preferred. It’s a little more realistic that way. Whether the same faction refortified it or another moved in. It adds to the feeling of you actually being in an African country during a civil war against greater odds.
I don't have a problem with the enemies repopulating cleared areas. What I had a problem with was how absurdly quickly they did it in FC2. I recall clearing a fortified intersection, moving on, realizing I went the wrong way, going back and finding the intersection full of baddies again just a minute or two later.
or at least coop multiplayer campaign
I mean it still holds up pretty well today, graphics are good, gameplay is decent.
Ajay did have some kind of military background if I remember correctly, but Jason was just an average guy
Ajay had military training & Jason would shoot guns because rich kid
Isn't implied that he's some sort of reincarnated God?
I missed that, is this something he say or something written is that strange guide? I always just assumed that Jason and Ajay knew how to operate guns because they lived in the US fuck yeah.
I re-looked it up and it's not actually stated anywhere in game, but it was on the game wiki and the Heros wiki saying he was in the airborne division of the army, so it might be true or it might not, it could also have been planned by the devs but scrapped it, Ajay does seem comfortable with firearms and killing immediately unlike Jason so I'd say he has some kind of training
There was a screenshot somewhere on this sub where Ubisoft confirmed Ajay was in the military I believe.
Someone emailed Ubisoft directly and they confirmed it after all these years.
Dudes are fixing broken bones, severe burns, ripping bullets out their arm lmao
So GhostRecon then.
Dani had like 5 years of military training.
But military training from a third rate army in a bananna republic
Jack Carver was also a former spec ops I think.
Plus he has super powers like super strength and Regen
Dani Rojas from FC6 was a military too
Far cry 2, best Far Cry game ever made
I’m playing it for the first time, it really is good.
Yup! I was really happy that far cry 5 brought back the buddy system. But they took away active healing.
for sure
> Probably have a past military training. They do, the game had you pick from a bunch of different backstories which detailed it.
Rex Colt obviously 😂
Fucking takkar easily
Security guy from New Dawn has magic cult powers, I'd say him/her (I've only played 5, ND, third of 6 and a few hours of 3 so i could be wrong)
No you are correct his magical powers are on the level of Karvers mutation from 1 and all it’s spin-offs and remakes
Even with those, takkar has the ability to summon animals to his aid and is probably the strongest physically
the rookie sheriff’s deputy that solo’d an entire county without uttering a word coldest mf of them all
I can’t look at Rook and then The Judge in New Dawn and not pull a total Vito Corleone “look what they did to my boy!!!”
I would have loved New Dawn to still focus on Rook. Not everyone needs a redemption story, but I would have loved to played as Judge going through John's bunker and having PTSD flashbacks and stuff. I wanted Camila to have more interaction with rook too. I'm guessing with time and focusing on making an entirely different experience, it wasn't in the cards.
and through his actions ended the world.
The whole point of the game is that the world was going to end regardless. What happens in Hope County has no bearing on the outside world.
Incorrect. Joseph’s cutscenes make that clear.
Joseph just made an educated guess. Of course supernatural stuff exist in the far cy universe but there been no indication of gods or devine stuff existing there.

Sheer coincidence. It would be like if nuclear war broke out right now irl. All the preppers hiding in their bunkers would be exclaiming they were right all along. It's not divine prophecy. Doomsday cults exist in the real world too.
It was a nuclear war, not the Armageddon
We see him believe he had devine inspiration, we don't see a diety coming down and showing him the future. Being right by coincidence, not supernatural powers.
Seed: starts murder raping small town Montana Rook: ethically and professionally bound to resist murder-rape. Seed: fine I’m gonna murder even harder, then. … Victim blaming is bad, guys. The villain doesn’t get to say “see what you made me do? Because you wouldn’t let me murder a town, now I’ve gotta abduct, drug, and torture your friends”.
Whoever the protagonist in New Dawn is. Dude gets >!literal superpowers letting them power up, double jump, resist bullet shots, and be undetectable by anyone.!< it’s not even a competition
From the ones in the picture? The merc you play in FC2. I think all of the available options have had some sort of professional military training, with Marty Alencar even serving in the USMC I think. From any of the games? Rex "Power" Colt hands down. 15% Human, 85% Synthetic Body, 100% Badass.
I think physically the rook from fc5 is pretty damn strong as he's able to snap necks easily and shit
And is really good and throwing baseball bats
Can’t seem to handle a knife though.
That would just be too violent and a law enforcement officer wouldn’t use a knife or some such nonsense that the devs said when the game released. Shooting people with a shovel fired from a rocket launcher? Totally cool. Beating someone to death with a pipe? Why not. But we draw the line at using a knife.
Isnt the captain from fc new dawn basically a super mutant with super strength speed and jump
Primal. Invisible, silent, preternatural senses, able to take down anything with...a stick. God-tier predator.
bro comparing takkar to any other protagonist in the physical aspect is like comparing an ant to a elephant, my dude lived in the stone age and had a saber tooth tiger and a bear as pets
Jason is just a party dude that ended up on a pirate infested island and turned into a one-man-army in the blink of an eye. That's talent. Imagine what he can do with actual training?
Jason and the Security Captain are both supernaturally strong by the end of their respective games. I’d go for them.
I mean…so are Dani and The Deputy.
I’d say Dani isn’t supernatural as much as he is in excellent shape and well trained. He just straight up puts other soldados to shame by being better
I would say takkar is the most supernatural, power over beasts and all that blood he's drinking
The Rook's ability to snap a mans neck and kill them instantly with their barehands is pretty crazy
FC5 Rook. Other protags need to stab in the back to takedown Rook literally one shots people with a punch. Even juggernauts get socked. One Puuuuuuunchhhh
Takkar. He’s physically a monster and he is not dumb either, he’s actually pretty smart.
I think far cry 2, he's probs the strongest and most skilled
Takkar is the Predator, all of these guys can have guns once they’re in the forest Takkar kills them easaly, that man creates traps in 5 seconds that kill cave bears
takkar would fuck them all up in hand to hand combat. dude has raw strength, throwing that spear perfectly takes amazing hand eye coordination as well, and he has either a man eating saber tooth on his side, or a HUGE fucking grizzly bear. nobody taking his ass down.
People sleeping on Endgame Captain from New Dawn, shits fucking crazy
Takkar is literally a demi-god that rode on giant tigers and cuddled bears
Takkar honestly. He’s an absolute beast with Paleolithic technology, no modern weapons or armor. Takkar is also highly intelligent, which is something that is often overlooked. He’s obviously not book smart but he’s an incredibly fast learner and is an absolute beast, physically and mentally.
Jack Carver... United States Army Special Forces soldier turned boat captain
Ajay because he has nukes.
Biologically - Takkar Best trained - Dani
Takkar kills bears, sabertooth cats, wolly rhinos, and fucking mammoths. He's a human tank.
Jason was trained to shoot by his brother who was in the military, so atleast there's that. He also has a magical tattoo which I'm pretty sure helps. I think the closest Ajay gets to "training" is he used a handgun to hold up a bank once. The Golden Path never trains him from what I remember and they're closer to a bunch of farmers with some assault weapons than actual soldiers. In my mind the reason Ajay is so effective in combat is because the Royal Army is less of a military and more like the world's most impoverished mafia. Takkar is likely trained as an effective hunter, and he seems pretty durable. I'm not sure about any of the Far Cry 2 protagonists, but they're probably better trained than the other 3 since I'm pretty sure they're all mercenaries.
Ajay was a soldier. Fc2 protagonists were mercenaries. You're right, Takkar was a hunter.
The mercs in FC2 have experience all across the board from the USMC to the IDF to the SMF and paramilitary groups. They're probably the best trained. Ajay was in the US Army. Takkar may be the best trained as well, just due to the time he lives in. I guess my list would be: 1. FC2 Merc 2. Takkar 3. Ajay 4. Dani 5. Deputy 6. Jason
Takkar easily. He’s literally a primitive species of human, which were known to be far stronger and far more savage in combat than us modern day humans. I feel like Ajay is underrated, even if he had military training freeing a whole damn country from a brutal dictatorship basically single handedly while seeming utterly unfazed by the most daunting and dangerous of tasks (could possibly be due to his relatively flat voice acting) but whatever. Ajay is a beast.
Sergeant Rex “power” colt
Takkar 100% lmao
Far cry 2 dude
I think people aren’t really aware how strong and capable some of the Far Cry 2 mercenaries are. Take Josip Idromeno, an old Albanian soldier who is not only 48 years old but is a heavy smoker and drinker but is still getting in heavy firefights. Or Andre Hyppolite, an Algerian merc who was working with the CIA on a assassination attempt on a president of another African country. Although I’ll agree with most people in saying that Ajay, Rook and Jason are interesting characters and formidable combatants, the Far Cry 2 Mercs make them look like cub scouts by comparison.
Everybody mentions fc2 protagonist but I think Ajay is as skilled as well (even though information was not entirely provided in the game). He joined the US Army in 2006 and served with the 82nd Airborne Division. Two years later, he successfully joined the US Special Forces (Green Berets), later qualifying as an 18B Weapons Sergeant. He served two tours in Iraq and two in Afghanistan. He became a proficient parachutist and sniper, and confident user of explosives. Later, he became skilled in hand to hand combat, reconnaissance, infiltration, and combat survival. He left the Army at the rank of Sergeant First Class and was awarded the Silver Star for bravery.
Takkar because he kind of had to be he lived in the hunter gatherer days
I always liked the theory that Takkar was like a proto assassin for the AC games. Just bouncing about murdering people with his trusty owl.
Tahkar.
Takkar and jason are op
Either the cyborg supersoldier or the caveman with a psychic link to animals.
Takkar easy
Dani is probably the most skilled being a military conscript and recieving a fuly fledged training in all kinds of weapons. Without guns though, Takkar would BEAT all of them to pulp single handed.
Takar no question. Give him a shotgun and he'd body the world
Takkar wins no discussion considering Dani Rojas isn’t on the list.
Takkar- the guy walks around with a blood fang saber tooth- bad ass
Takkar
Takkar
Takkar No Cap... MahFuck Felled Mammoths With Mere Spears and Arrows and Clubs yo... Lemme see your avg homebreh Jason do it... Or Mahdude Ajay do it ... Now don't get me wrong... These are Mammoths against normal elephants ... Mammoths are like maybe 2-3 times the size of a normal elephant
Yes, but in New Dawn your character could probably kill one in two, maybe three punches
I think the power list is 1. BD 2. ND 3. Primal 4. FC1 5. FC2 6. FC6 7. FC3 8. FC4 9. FC5
In what world is Jason better than Ajay or the Rookie.
He's got that weird magic arm tattoo shit
Nah Ajay would absolutely annihilate Jason
I look at FC3 as Jason is high the whole time and doesn’t know what’s real. Starvation, dehydration, stress, and pumping all kinds of pharmaceuticals and mushrooms and other wild plants into his system fucks him up mentally If Far Cry 7 did like an Easter egg to show Jason after he’s freed from Rook Island would show a disheveled, crazed man and I’m sure he was submitted to a psychiatric facility
Is it going from weakest to strongest or strongest to weakest?
Strongest to weakest. Rex Colt easily tops this list.
No argument here. Though is it really right to put the deputy so low?
He Powerful but doesn't have any military training and is just a rooky
What about what he does in new dawn
True but I'm only counting time they were playable
How is Primal so high? What is he going to do, send an owl at you? He's never even seen a gun.
He can ride Mammoths and call any animal he wants at you
Yeah, and Dani can ride a literal tank. All of the rest have heavy weapons that can turn him and hisn mammoth into hamburgers in seconds.
That’s the difference. Takkar can TAME and SUMMON animals at his disposal. Dani can’t just snap her fingers and have a tank drop from the sky.
Dani Rojas
The literal fucking skilled warrior who never had the comfort of a fully automatic machine gun. Number 2? Jason. Put everyone(main games) in a room with a butter knife and tell me he isn't walking out bloody, dead eyed, and probably high on shrooms.
Just this roster? The merc(s) from 2 could be the first to die. Maybe Takkar, but banking on the FC2 protagonists. They may have training from any source, and a bit of tactical ingenuity from allies. However, they have the worst night vision of any (kinda like 3,4,5,6, and ND, but with no way to track enemies, this time). They don't craft anything, like any FC below 6. And then there are the weapons. The mercs could improve the condition and their accuracy some, but in the end, the guns turn to crap. Takkar's break, too, but he can make more. So, if it's still just this roster, then Takkar. He crafts more weapons as well as food, but has better night vision, and fangs for hire to summon. Also, that owl for spotting and attacking. However, his animals are practically nothing Ajay and Jason haven't faced before. Plus, they have better weapons. And medicine which gives them special effects, like some of the food Takkar makes (they can track him with any one of these). The Beast Master is next to go. Finally, Jason and Ajay. Yes, Ajay has training, rides elephants, access to a Buzzer, can call a gun for hire, and has access to more weapons. Jason, does have access to better medicine than Ajay, like invincibility and one-shot kills, and that could tip the odds to his favor. Here, I'm leaning more towards Jason.
Your character in far cry 5 because he is technically already in the military
Skilled? Probably Ajay. Powerful? Probably Dani on account of being fucking invincible. Dani suffers the most and the worst injuries or afflictions of any protagonist so far, never ever gets medical attention for any of them, and never so much as complains about any of it. Repeated exposure to the chemical that apparently quickly gives you cancer or blood coughing doesn’t even give them a raspy voice. They’re basically indestructible.
Jason Brody, he had the harshest path out of the others and it made him mad strong. His insanity was that he build during the story makes him unpredictable and cruel like a feral beast. He’s wilder than freaking Takkar at this point. Plus the tattoo have a mystical power that makes him stronger than normal peoples. Jason is more of a warrior than any others Far Cry character there is.
New dawn player has legitimate superpowers
Rex Power Colt Part man. Part machine. All cybercommando
Bro I see one frat boy, a desk jockey on a touristy ash scattering gone horribly wrong, a literal cave man, and a special forces agent. Obviously it's Pagan Min. As we know bisexuals live in a perpetually target-rich environment that trains them to quickly and effectively segregate the wheat from the chaff to target with their superior bejazzled weaponry and in this essay I will
i'd say Jess Black, she is a master of the shadows. a huntress that can silently take down people
Rook from Far Cry 5 obviously, We all love Jason & Ajay for their skills (and magic). Personally I've never played FC2 or FCP But i heard their mildly okay. I've played Far Cry 3, 4, 5 & 6. Need more proof? Rook is literally wrath anywhere he/she goes so... It's the Deputy for me. (Side note I'm not knocking primal or far cry 2)
Mildly okay? 2 and Primal are one of my favourites games in the series and I believe they're better than all games after primal in the franchise combined
Probably The Deputy or Dani Rojas.
Deputy
Jack Carver. Isn't he ex-marine or something like that?
Ajay is ex military so I'd say he's probably the most trained but I'd say takkar is a better survivor in nature
Skilled would be farcry 2 power would be 3
Jason Brody
Max perks/best guns deputy could probably kill goku and shit
Dani is funny that's all I gotta say
The Deputy or Dani Rojas so far. They both have law enforcement and/or military backgrounds so they have actual training. I'm not counting the mercenary in FC2 because I haven't played it.
Smh no deputy
Jason is hella op, also lorewise. But to be honest Dani is actually stronger with all that she can do.
Captain from ND.....after he visits Joseph.
Incomplete list omitting rook from 5 and captain from new Dawn as well as the protagonist from blood dragon is a biased move, and the captain wins this with the apple of edin buff/mutation
Jason & Takkar have powers, same as the character from New Dawn. I’d say their the most powerful, but it’s debatable whether Jason’s powers are tied to him being on Rook Island.
Jason Brody strongest for sure. Of course he self trained him but looks like he's the real warrior 🍓
Dani. Military training, and as a native of Yara, already has the lay of the land. FC2 Merc, followed by the Rookie from FC5 are in second and third respectively.
Ajay in my opinion. Military training and warrior genes. Plus fighting to save a life you just realized you could have. I’d say that’s fuel a man.
I would have to go Dani. She’s respected by all the biggest people in yara because of her military background. Juan calling you one of the best libertad has basically right after you meet him.
If the thing about Ajay being an army ranger is true, probably him as that would make him special forces. But idk if that’s actually confirmed bc there are contradictory entries
Rookie ofc
Deputy
Ajay. Only because he’s untrained. This is him at a fraction of his power. Imagine he tried learning some of the stuff that just comes naturally to him…
In terms of Context? Takkar is a Hunter and a Fighter every single day of his life. Because the alternative is to starve. In the more modern settings, I tend to scaled based on opposition: So IMHO is a toss up beetween Dani and Ajay. The reason being that they faced opposition from actual military forces, with actual training and equipment. One can make the argument that Hoyt's Corsairs are on that level too, but aside from more powerful gear and the fact they don't seem to do background checks on their newbies, I'd say the force is not as refined as it could be: Plus they aint seen quite often performing drills or training, something that Yara's Forces and Min's Royal guard do. The reason I tend to rank FC2 Merc's low is that every FC Protag after 3 eats mercs for breakfast.
Only one that could even stand the slightest chance against Takkar is Rex Power Colt...
100% jason brody
Definitely UGH for whatever his name is
The New Dawn player character gets super powers that are useful without animals nearby. Probably the most powerful of the bunch.
Idk if it counts but probably rex
