« Assaulters are common thugs armed with basic weaponry. They are a force to be reckoned with when in large numbers. »

User Manual

The Pirate Assaulter is the most common type of Pirate. They wear no armour and often patrol the North Island in groups of two or more, and sometimes, are found moving hostages.

Tips[]

They are very weak alone, and can be killed with only a couple bullets from most fire-arms. They may pose a threat in groups, however.

  • Strangely, a .44 Magnum with an extended barrel will kill them in two shots to the body, but when any sight is added, it becomes one shot.
  • They will use rush tactics when in combat.
  • They only carry AK-47s, providing the player with a supply of assault rifle ammunition.
  • They drive both Scavengers and Technicals when on patrol.
  • In patrols, they are often seen alongside heavier pirates to supplement their abilities.
  • They mainly hipfire their weapons making their accuracy poor at range.
  • It is possible to suppress them by firing at their general position or hitting them. When suppressed they will blindly fire over cover, making them extremely inaccurate.
  • They can be encountered on the entire North Island, and occationally on the Southern (although supplied with a Defender) arguing with Privateers.

Trivia[]

  • In Far Cry 6's Insanity DLC, corpses of Pirate Assaulters can be found around the map. They can be seen in some visions as well.
