How To Hijack Tanks In Far Cry 6. Learn how to hijack a tank in Far Cry 6 to earn the Not So Tough Trophy/Achievement and cause havoc as the new driver.
Taking on multiple enemy vehicles at once in Far Cry 6 can be lethal, especially when up against a tank. Even when powerful weapons are used to target the vehicle’s weak spot, it is difficult to bring down the formidable, heavily armoured vehicle.
Instead of fighting them head-on, players in Far Cry 6 can hijack tanks. It will not only make encountering one less stressful, but it will also unlock the “Not So Tough” Trophy/Achievement for the first time.
Hodey Johns updated this page on December 16th, 2021: It is far easier to take over a tank than it is to destroy one. Even the most powerful explosives require multiple hits to bring a tank down, whereas stealing a tank requires only one shot/blast to neutralise the threat and turn it against its former friends. The original article contained all of that information, and readers were grateful for it. To aid readability, this article has divided into several sections, one detailing the equipment required, another discussing how to carry out the process, and a final entry showing players where a guaranteed tank can be hijacked.

How To Bring Down A Tank
When you find an occupied tank, use an EMP ability to disable it. Always shoot the gunner first, or else the prompt to hijack the tank will not appear. The EMP blast will temporarily disable the vehicle, and while it isn’t moving, players should jump on top of it and look down at the hatch.
The angle is critical here; if players are on the wrong side of the tank or hatch, the command will not prompt. To take over the tank, press R3 on consoles or F on PC. Dani will regain control after a brief animation. The tanks deal a lot of damage, and killing in the vehicle earns a lot of experience points toward the game’s highest level.
