Pagan: Control
Pagan: Control is the second Far Cry 6 DLC, where you play Far Cry 4 villain Pagan Min inside his own mind. It is a roguelike run: earn Respect, fight a darker version of yourself and rebuild a golden mask to escape.
- Type
- Storyline
Good to know
- It released on January 11, 2022.
- Respect replaces money, and you lose your gear when you die unless Mirror upgrades let you keep some.
- The Mirror upgrades five Traits, including health, Respect retention, stealth and gadget slots.
- Weapon Cases only unlock after the matching King's Ransom challenge.
- The M9 pistol is the only weapon you get free on every run.
- A dark version of Pagan called The Tyrant fights him for control.
How it works
Each run starts fresh. You explore, kill, open chests and finish activities to earn Respect, then spend it at the Armory and Mirror. Death resets the map, so permanent Mirror and Weapon Case upgrades are what carry you forward.
What you do
The story is told through three Memories from Pagan's past. Clearing them restores pieces of the golden mask while The Tyrant works against you.
Difficulty
There are five Mind Levels that set the difficulty. Your first full run on Mind Level 1 opens up harder runs for later.
