One of the many DIY weapons Dani can use to wreak havoc on Castillo's army is a lethal disc launcher (inspired by the Saw Launcher from New Dawn) that plays "Macarena" of all things.
Quite a few of the other DIY weapons are pretty funny in the parts that make them up, from a nail gun made from sardine cans (that causes a Mook to give a Wilhelm Scream when shot during the Gameplay Trailer), a functional EMP cannon powered with a jury-rigged car battery, and a minigun operated with a motorcycle engine.
The third is Chicharrón, a large rooster with dyed plumage, piercings, and multiple jewelry pieces, whose introduction has Juan confusingly ask who brought him before relenting that it doesn't matter as long as Dani needs him to get the job done. Somehow, he's capable of understanding language and demands anarchy graffiti with his name plastered over them.
Of particular note about Chicharrón's series of missions leading up to his recruitment is that Dani at one point ponders if the situation is about Chicharrón backing them up or if they are backing up Chicharrón as he goes on a personal rampage against dogs bred to be super-soldiers, waves of hardened FND soldiers, and even armored vehicles! If by some chance the rooster does bite the dust, the failure message even blatantly goes "Chicharrón has been killed! Impossible!".
Boomer from 5 is back, now known as Boom Boom. Apparently, our good friend Hurk not only sent the poor dog to Yara to escape the brutality at Hope County, but also to atone to the Monkey God for his past mistakes (likely meaning using monkeys as live bombs).
The Los Bandidos Operations occur in the background of Dani's fight with Libertad to overthrow Castillo's regime and provide a lot of resources to the guerillas. The varied scenarios and means by which these Operations are carried out, however, sometimes turn up hilarious gems like so:
Somehow, the kids didn't laugh us into submission. They still want more proof we're "chill" though... A couple of kids bullied some guerillas so badly they left the skatepark. Two guerillas dropped their phones, cracked their screens, and quit the movement (a little extreme, we think)
Dani finds a pair of Yaran Story sidequests to do in the Montero Farm guerilla camp for a man named Elvis Carballo. It initially starts with Dani going to retrieve a pair of spurs that Elvis gives to his prize cockfighting bird, only for Dani to discover that the one who stole them was also giving animal-equivalent steroids to chickens, resulting in a large horde of 'roid-raging roosters attacking Dani when they escape with the spurs. The follow-up quest involves Elvis reporting that the whole host of juiced-up cluckers had escaped and started laying eggs, of which he needs one. The result is Dani finding the horde had overtaken and destroyed a local farm, where they have to collect one egg and destroy the rest all while being pecked and clawed at by the madness-induced farmlife. At the end, Dani exclaims how much they hate roosters, but given that they later meet or might even have already met up with Chicharrón, it might have been a heat-of-the-moment declaration.
The Yaran Story sidequest "The Seeds of Love" involves Dani helping Lorenzo Canseco, one of the Legends of '67 in El Este, to reconnect with seven of his illegitimate children that he sired in the wake of the first revolution against a Castillo that he and his cohorts became Legends for. The long process in which Dani delivers the letters to the grownup children ranges from some humorous encounters like a man who isolates himself in a cemetery and pretends to be a ghost to scare off FND soldados and a man who got himself locked in his own playroom after a "liaison" gone wrong, to tearjerking like a man who got the letter from his father at the lowest point of his life as he lost his family and his livelihood and could only drink his days away, to outright squicky as a man and a woman discover at the same time that they share Lorenzo as a father; the man curls into the fetal position and the woman proceeds to vomit. One encounter though brings back the Mind Screw elements of Far Cry 5 as Dani finds letters revealing one of Lorenzo's bastard daughters has been in contact with the Project at Eden's Gate cult in Hope County, Montana and was shipped some samples of the plants they used to manufacture Bliss; Dani even goes on a Bliss trip to find the woman and all the time she's spilling out one line after another straight from the mouths of the Seed family.
The common thread with all of Lorenzo's children? They're all drama queens like he is. Just in different ways.
Another Yaran Story, "Tanks for the Likes", involves Dani having to help a thrillseeker named Colton "CB Savage" Blake do some "dope-ass moves" to help Libertad gain social media cred. The large majority of his "moves" involves strafing side to side as he runs across an active firing range presently being used by armored tanks for practice. With Dani following behind him the entire time, told to keep him in the frame of the camera they are holding at all times. He runs across the length of it twice, even stopping outside of cover to do some air-boxing in the direction of said tanks that are still shelling the area around him. Eventually, the two leave the firing range where Colton declares his awesomeness and how popular the video will be, with the only way it could be better was if "someone fuckin' died". Moments later, a stray shell strikes and explodes him into a red mist while barely scratching Dani right beside him, followed by his still-smoking shoes falling back down into the pool of blood where he stood as a collectible Gear piece. Dani goes ahead and uploads the video because it's after all what Colton "would have wanted".
A treasure hunt that can be found near Patriotas Peak, the guerilla camp owned by the Legends of '67 in El Este, called "A Little Birdie Told Me" revolves around Dani having to follow a docile pelican through a combination of the wingsuit and various vehicles as it has to be fed incrementally in order to lead her to the stash. Every time, Dani finds themselves talking to the pelican, Danilo, as if it were a dog, something they eventually lampshade at the end when Danilo leads them to the stash.
El Tigre asks Dani to help liberate Karlito, ostensibly one of the Legends of '67, who has apparently been forced to "work" at the pro-Castillo propaganda-laden Museum of the False Revolution. When Dani arrives at the museum, they find no hide nor hair of a captured Legends member in indentured servitude...what they do find, however, is an old Resistance tank on display in the middle of the museum. Dani's reaction as they finally put two-and-two together is priceless.
Juan: Remember, Rule 9#: Right tool for the right job. Dani: Rule #10: Shut the fuck up.
"Dead Drop" has Juan tell a story about how he negotiated a deal with Sinola Cartel and the CIA before making a fortune then losing it gambling. Later, he calls again to tell more or less the exact same story with Gorbachev and the KGB.
Dani: Let me guess. You screwed over someone, took a percentage, then blew it doing something stupid. Juan: Yes? Dani: I think we're family now.
One mission has Dani and Bicho get utterly drunk and hold their own wandering party. Special note goes to Dani drunkenly declaring they will tag every billboard in Yara (with the mission objective saying so, to the tune of over 700). You tag exactly two before Dani's convinced they did all of them.
The "Rambo" side mission has a similar gag to the Bicho one where Rambo super-fan Silvio asks you to best Rambo's kill count of 512 with the mission objective listing it (but also telling you not to worry about the ridiculous kill count) and Dani exaggerating their kill count after killing a few dozen soldiers and wondering how the hell Rambo managed to pull it off.
You can also get a funny moment if you ignore Silvio's request to kill his main rival stealthily where Dani totally butchers the famous Rambo quote and just says "ah fuck it".
One side mission has Dani team up with Danny Trejo himself! The mission sees Dani gun down wave after wave of FND soldiers while Danny spends most of the time making his tacos to feed the less fortunate. And the Health Department soldier commanding the small army reallywants those tacos.
The set of missionsnote The F.I. Escudo Steel Mill and the "A Model Citizen" Yaran Tale are mostly pure Nightmare Fuel, but there is one bit of Bathos when you finally track him down and he begs you not to spare him, but to cast his remains in metal (as he is known for doing) so that he may "live eternal, shiny and chrome."
Upon meeting Camila "Espada" Montero (referred to by Philly as "Baby Montero"), Dani finds her beating up an FND soldier she's tied to a chair, trying to get information out of him.
Camila: Who the fuck are you? Dani: Dani, for Libertad. You Baby Montero? FND Soldier: [Giggles] 'Baby Montero'? Camila: [Backhands him] Fucking Philly!
After collecting the handle for the Dragon Blade, you're treated to a vision of Vaas' memory of when he first discovered Jason and his friends skydiving onto Rook Island. When he overhears Jason exclaim how "his dad would kill him if he knew what he was doing", Vaas sarcastically proclaims that must "make him Jason's daddy". A nearby pirate then asks what that makes him. Vaas' response?
Vaas: You're the fat ugly aunt but you make wonderful cookies. Children love you.
The fact that Vaas doesn't even remember the name of Jason's brother.
Vaas: Hey, this is... the place I killed Jason's brother Grey... something. Grant? George? Whatever. This is where I fucking killed the guy.
In one of his memories, Vaas watches Joseph Seed preaching on TV and is not too pleased when Joseph tells the definition of insanity, as if that phrase is Vaas' trademark and Joseph had committed copyright infringement. Take note that Albert Einstein was the one who used that phrase first, meaning Vaas committed infringement first.
In the challenge that precedes this, you're required to turn off four radios around the ship with each summoning a wave of enemies alongside Jason Brody. Despite this, there is a mounted gun on the boat that the player can aim perfectly at Jason the moment he spawns and mow him down in a matter of seconds. And yes, this can happen after turning off the last radio, where Jason is at his strongest.
One flashback shows Vaas' trying to come up with an apology to Citra after she stabbed him with a knife. He also includes making Italian food under a star-filled sky as part of the apology.
Vaas: Citra, can we talk about our little hiccup the other day, um... Why did you try to stab me in the chest? You could have fucking killed me, you know that?
There's a note the player can find inside the starting area. It details Vaas' thoughts on most of the people seen in 3 in the same way a fast food menu is written.
Vaas Montenegro Sliders: Our hero, the lead to our fucked up story, and definitely not a pirate king hellbent on retaking the Rook Islands for himself. Citra Talugami Chicken Fingers: Everyone's favorite warrior priestess who's hiding some spice (pro-tip: the spice is a bloodthirsty commitment to finding the strongest warrior for her people). Jason Brody Salad: No one likes salad, and no one likes Jason. Idiot tourist who stumbled into a fight he doesn't understand, manipulated by a woman way out of his league.
Just to show how far the Flanderization of Jason goes in Vaas' mind, look no further than his interactions with the Rakyat, who see Jason as nothing more than an annoyance at best. For example:
Jason: Are you sacred? Bro, don't be. Vaas is a total pussy. Rakyat Male: He was raised by us, taught to fight by us. Jason: Wait, are you like, offended? Dude, I was trying to comfort you. I'm just saying if he comes near us- boom, he's dead meat. Rakyat Male: I'll let you handle it then. I'm not one to underestimate the Rakyat, former or not. Jason: (laughs) Man, you guys are great. The whole strong and cryptic thing always got me. Rakyat Male: (sigh) This guy.
Control
In general, Pagan's dry sarcasm any time the Tyrant makes it clear that the former is trapped in a personal hell or someone else mocks him.
The Tyrant claiming to be the consequences of Pagan's actions.
Pagan: (sigh) Well, shit.
The first thing that comes to Pagan's mind when he sees a statue of himself missing his head is to point out that the point of a statue is to have the head attached. Not so it wouldn't look vandalized, but because the head has Pagan's face, who deemed that as his most important feature.
He does complain about his statues being vandalized. Specifically, the ones that are three times larger than him and are made of gold.
Upon hearing Yuma's voice when approaching the Durgesh Prison, Pagan will ask how she is doing with silence being his only answer.
Pagan: Okay. Rude.
Pagan entering a room full of fire traps in the prison.
Pagan: Yuma darling, any chance you'll extinguish them for me? Yuma: You'll get cold if you turn those fire pots off, Pagan. Wouldn't you hate that? Pagan: Thank you, but no.
When Pagan gets the first piece of the mask, he tries asking the Tyrant for the location of the other two pieces. The key word being 'tries'.
Pagan: Now, be a good personification-of-my-flaws and tell me where I can find the other two pieces of this, would you? The Tyrant: (Laughs) Pagan: Hm. Well. I had to try.
Pagan: Well what am I supposed to say? I was shot at my own dinner table? My helicopter was blasted out of the air? No, no, no. That's not a fitting end for me. The Tyrant: Well, what's another lie, right? Pagan: I want people to think I'm dead, not boring!
The Vanishing
At the end of the DLC, you can see Vaas passed out drunk face down at the bar, along with his fellow tennis ball friend that also has its face down like Vaas. Dani then takes the tennis ball and plays catch with Chorizo. Vaas is probably not gonna be happy about that.
