From GameWatcher: “Far Cry: New Dawn may not be a fully-fledged ‘Far Cry 6’ as many were hoping it’d be, but this means that Ubisoft are more willing to try out some new stuff and see whether it sticks.
Far Cry New Dawn RPG mechanics are seemingly proving that Ubisoft will be doing with the series something along the lines of what they’ve done with Assassin’s Creed, which is to say: adding weapon rarities, health bars and other assorted RPG features.”
