Master new mechanics for success in Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed Shadows has launched, offering new mechanics for players to learn. Below are some essential tips to help beginners on their journey in the game. First, focus on building your hideout. Although players might visit it infrequently, upgrading it provides key benefits. These include an improved forge for gear upgrades and passive bonuses like money from scouts, free rations, and reduced forging costs. A major game change allows players to sell unused gear to merchants. This is important, as money opens up opportunities to unlock safehouses for fast travel and buy resources necessary for building up your base. Remember to visit every merchant. Some stores hold unique quest items that you cannot find anywhere else. Specifically, look for tea sets needed for sidequests later in the game. While scouting mission locations can be helpful, use scouts wisely. Many quest descriptions provide enough detail to locate targets without needing to use scouts, thus saving time and resources. The Kunai is a powerful tool for stealth. While not effective in direct combat, it can inflict significant damage on enemies when used for headshots. Upgrading them allows for even more damage. Engravings can help replenish Kunai after use, making them invaluable for clearing areas discreetly. You can also retrieve thrown items like Kunai and bells by returning to where they landed. This helps maintain your supply without having to refill. At hideouts, look for mission stations that offer tasks and leads to hidden treasures and merchants. These can guide players to unexplored parts of the game. Collect skill points by completing objectives, especially by eliminating targets on your objectives board. Killing Samurai Daisho can also provide additional points, aiding in skill development. Rooftops offer a safe escape during chases since enemies cannot follow. Crouching while on a rooftop will help players become anonymous again, making it easier to evade pursuers. Lastly, choose your character wisely for missions. While Naoe is versatile, Yasuke is stronger in combat scenarios. His abilities make him effective against tougher enemies, providing crucial advantages in battle.
