The Heat Meter bar and its loading
The Heat system in Far Cry 6 functions similarly to the police stars in the GTA series. The Heat Meter bar, located next to the radar in the bottom left corner of the screen, fills up as you kill enemy soldiers.
The Heat bar indicates how alert your enemies are to your actions. It starts off yellow and gradually increases. Once it reaches 50%, more regular soldiers will appear in the area.
It is important to note that the Heat bar can decrease on its own if you do not attack or alert any enemies for some time.
The Red Pursuit bar and Special Forces
If the Heat Meter bar reaches 100%, the bar will turn red, and the chase will begin. The biggest challenge in this situation is the Special Forces soldiers, who have better equipment than the regular enemies. They can use rovers, heavy-duty equipment, and shields, making them harder to defeat.
Fight or Flight
When a chase begins, you have two options – fight or flight.
Fighting is a good option if you already have good weapons and gadgets or if you are using a powerful vehicle. This will make it easier to defeat the Special Forces soldiers.
Running away is a better option if you do not have good equipment or do not want to risk direct combat. Losing the pursuit is simple. You can leave the asphalt roads used by enemy vehicles, or reach the nearest ally location, such as one of the rebel hideouts. When you successfully evade the pursuit, the game will display a message, and the Heat Meter bar will reset to zero.
