How to transmog in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Some armor sets boast powerful stats in Assassin’s Creed Shadows—but rather less-than-stellar looks. Luckily for players, it’s possible to transmog armor and weapons in Assassin’s Creed Shadows so you can keep the buffs armor gives you while appearing differently aesthetically. If you’re not sure how to make the most of this feature, here’s everything you need to know.

Transmogging basically allows you to retain the stats of the armor or weapon you’re currently using while rocking the looks of another. But you first need to unlock the feature before accessing it in AC Shadows.

How to unlock the transmog ability in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

The transmog ability unlocks right after you build the Forge near your Hideout. It costs 30 Wood, 40 Crops, and 10 Minerals, and you will unlock the ability right after Heiji introduces you to the feature.

How to transmog armor and weapons

Once you’ve built the Forge, you can transmog gear right from the Inventory. All you need to do is follow these steps:

1. Head over to the Inventory tab.
2. Choose any armor or weapon you want to transmog.
3. Press the Customize button (located in the bottom right corner of the screen). As I was playing on a PS5, for me, it was the Triangle button. It’s the Y button on Xbox and the X button on PCs.
4. You will then be taken to the Visual Customization screen.
5. Choose one of the unlocked weapons or armor and press the Square button to visualize the style.

The best thing about this game’s transmog ability is you can customize individual aspects of weapons. For example, if you want to alter the appearance of the blade, handle, guard, and saya of the katana, you would be able to do that.
