So, to save you time, we'll cover how to unlock all the Far Cry 6 preorder bonuses and DLCs now.

How to unlock Far Cry 6 DLC and preorder bonuses

Any downloadable content and preorder bonuses you've got for Far Cry 6 will largely become accessible after completing a campaign mission called "The Guerilla". If you do nothing else but pursue Far Cry 6's main plot, this should be done within two hours at the latest, and occurs just after leaving the starting island of Isla Santuario. The full list of campaign missions you'll have to complete is as follows:

La Noche de le Muerte
The Lucky One
Juan of a Kind
Du or Die
Fuel the Revolution
Libertad Rises
The Guerrilla

Effectively you'll get all the extras when the entirety of the Yara map opens up for exploration - until then, you're in an unofficial tutorial. However, once that quest is done, you'll get an alert from the game telling you that you can now use all those extras, and they'll be automatically unlocked and added to your inventory accordingly.

How to play the Far Cry 6 Season Pass

The Far Cry 6 Season Pass is, at time of the game's release, currently unplayable (with the exception of the Blood Dragon set, a weapon and outfit pack).

His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
