Best Hideout Buildings and Upgrades in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Assassin’s Creed Shadows features the Hideout, which is the customizable base you are able to trick out however you like with buildings, pets, and more. That said, if you are purely there for the stat bonuses and features, you will want to know the best Hideout buildings and upgrades that will help you in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Best Hideout Buildings to Upgrade in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

There are quite a few buildings you can pick to build and upgrade at your Hideout, but not all of them are worth your time. Some of them are just there for the visual appeal and don’t actually do anything in terms of upgrades or features. And then there are some that do offer new features, but they aren’t worth your time and resources, at least at first.

If you are unsure of what to unlock and upgrade first, here are the buildings I recommend to everyone:

• Dojo: You are now able to use your allies here to upgrade and train them more
• Forge: This particular building lets players enhance gear
• Nando: You won’t have to pay as much to replenish scouts from now on
• Study: This particular building provides more scouts to use on the world map
• Tera: You get +10% more experience than you would normally get (this is a must early on)

How to Level Up the Hideout

Another key feature of the Hideout beyond building and upgrading locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is level it up. If you want to level up the Hideout, there is one main way to do it: keep building and upgrading locations. Each time you place a new structure or upgrade an existing one, you will get experience for the Hideout.

There is a bar you can see that indicates your current level for the Hideout and XP you need to upgrade it. Each level of the Hideout includes new features and bonuses. These will reduce the cost of certain actions or even make the scouts more effective every season. If you are focused more on just leveling up the Hideout, look for the buildings that offer the most XP.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is now available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
