Assassin’s Creed Shadows Scout System Balances Strategy and Resource Management

The scout system plays a pivotal role in exploration, resource collection, and mission progression, with strategic upgrades enhancing its efficiency.

Scouts in Assassin’s Creed Shadows serve three key functions: locating targets, smuggling resources, and clearing Wanted status.
Players can expand their scout capacity by upgrading the Study in the Hideout, with each upgrade adding an additional scout.
Upgrading the Stables reduces the number of scouts required for smuggling resources, improving their overall efficiency.
Scouts can be refilled by spending in-game currency, rescuing NPCs, or waiting for the in-game season to change.
Clearing a Wanted status using scouts requires a Rank 2 upgrade to the Kakurega in the Hideout and is limited to one province at a time.
