Weapons | Assassins Creed Shadows Wiki

In Assassin's Creed Shadows, Weapons serve as the primary Equipment for taking out enemies, with each of the two protagonists - Yasuke and Naoe - offering distinct combat styles and arsenals. Through the Mastery system, players can unlock new abilities for their weapons as well as increasing their effectiveness.

Yasuke, a samurai, wields traditional weapons such as katanas and kanabo war clubs. His combat style is direct and focused on strength, making him effective in open fights. Naoe, a shinobi Assassin, uses weapons like the tanto and kusarigama. Her playstyle emphasizes stealth and agility, allowing her to engage enemies from a distance or through ambush tactics.

Some weapons such as the Kunai or the Shuriken are classified as Tools and have a carry capacity limit.
