Quick Links
Assassin’s Creed Shadowshas several quests, including side activities that reward players with higher-level loot. While there will be some gear pieces like legendary weapons and armor that you’ll equip, most of the loot will mostly either sit inside the inventory orwill be stored in the storage stash. However, instead of just storing unnecessary equipment, players can dismantle it with the help of the blacksmith and get essential upgrade materials from him.
How to Dismantle Gear in AC Shadows
To dismantle equipment and weapons, players will need to firstunlock Heiji the Blacksmith inAssassin’s Creed Shadows. You’ll need to find the Heiji as part of the “Ways of the Blacksmith” quest, after which he joins the Hideout as an ally. After you’re done building a Forge at the base, players can interact with him to access gear upgrade and dismantling services.
Switching over to the dismantle tab, players will spot a menu similar to the upgrade tab. Simply choose a gear category and select the equipment that you need to dismantle. Once you’ve selected a gear item, you canview what materials you’ll be getting after dismantlingsaid equipment.
Once you’re ready, simply proceed with the dismantling process, and you’ll get rid of the unnecessary weapon, armor, or trinket, in exchange for some materials.
