Looking for all weapons and armour in Assassin's Creed Mirage? The latest game in Ubisoft's sandbox series may not lean into RPG elements as heavily as previous titles — like Odyssey and Valhalla — but it does still feature an equipment system, which lets you customise Basim's loadout to suit your style of play.
In this guide, we're going to list all weapons and armour that you can find in Assassin's Creed Mirage. We'll also provide locations and a usefulness ranking for each item, so that you have some insight into which gear is worth tracking down.
Weapons in Assassin's Creed Mirage are split between two categories: Swords and Daggers. Basim utilises both during combat — a sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left.
Both swords and daggers can be found in Gear Chests scattered around the map, and can be upgraded by expending materials at a Blacksmith, which slightly increases their damage output.
These are all of the Swords that you can find in Assassin's Creed Mirage.
Location: Basim's default sword, given to him near the start of the game.
Perk: Sharpened Blade — After a successful Parry, next Attack deals +50% damage
Usefulness: This is a huge damage increase following a parry, but the perk obviously has no use when you're fighting against enemies who only use unlockable attacks — and they're often the most troublesome foes in the game. Still, a good perk for tearing through lesser opponents.
Our Rating:
Location: Metal Factory in Shari', Harbiyah — you'll need to break the door's lock by hitting it with a throwing knife from the open window, located around the other side of the building. Or, you can fight your way through the guards and their training ground to gain direct access.
Perk: Strike Back — After a perfect Dodge, next Attack deals +50% damage
Usefulness: This perk provides a significant damage increase, but based on our testing, it's unclear what actually constitutes as a 'perfect dodge'. Sometimes the damage boost is immediately noticeable after dodging an incoming blow. Other times, it doesn't seem to trigger at all. A shame, since this would easily be one of the most effective perks in the game if it wasn't so inconsistent. It's still pretty great, though, as dodges are your most reliable form of defence.
Our Rating:
Location: Scriptorium, in Yasiriyah, Abbasiyah — in the main building, enter through an open door on the top floor, and watch out for the guards.
Perk: On the Edge — When Basim's Health is lower than 50%, Light Attacks deal +30% damage
Usefulness: A meaty damage increase that's easy to activate — although the trigger situation isn't ideal. Basim doesn't have much health to work with even on the normal difficulty setting, and so being below 50% is asking for
