How to Level Up the AC Shadows Battle Pass
To level up your Battle Pass, you’ll need to complete Anomalies, which are a series of weekly objectives. Each week, four new Anomaly quests become available, each rewarding 700 Data Fragments upon completion. These Data Fragments are what you’ll use to progress through the Battle Pass levels.
Collecting 600 Data Fragments will grant you one level in the Battle Pass.
To access Anomalies, you’ll need to open the Animus and navigate to the Anomalies Menu. Quests range from basic tasks like defeatinga set number of Samuraisorcollecting a certain amount of Mon(currency) to more complex objectives like mining Echoes or purging Corrupted Entities.
However, you won’t have access to these quests right from the start. First, you’ll need to progress throughThe Wounded questlineuntil you reach the Heads Will Roll quest. During this mission, as you go to speak to Kyonyo on the dirt patheast of Amagasaki Castle, you’ll encounter an Animus Portal. Interact with it to trigger a short sequence inside the Animus. Once it ends, you’ll return to Japan and gain access to the Anomalies Objectives in your quest menu.
You can now complete Anomalies objectives as you play through the game to earn Data Fragments. The Battle Pass you have set as active in your Animus Menu will steadily gain levels as you complete more and more Anomalies in the game.
The gear obtained from the battle passes scale up to the player’s level when you claim them.
The best part about the Battle Pass system inAssassin’s Creed Shadowsis that it never gets in the way. Most Anomalies objectives will be completed naturally as you play. Just remember to open up the Animus Menu from time to time to track your progress and claim your rewards.
