How To Smuggle Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Here is a guide on how you can smuggle resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows using your scouts to upgrade your hideout.

One of the ways to upgrade your hideout in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is to smuggle resources. However, you can’t just accept a mission and collect these smuggled goods yourself. You will need to manage a network and rely on your scouts to handle this job.

That doesn’t mean you’re completely sidelined, though. As your scouts work behind the scenes, you can explore the world and collect bundles of wood, crops, and minerals. But don’t expect to amass stockpiles on your own. The real bulk of your resources will come from the smuggling operations you oversee.

In this guide, we’ll take a look at how you can smuggle resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows with the help of your scouts.

Find a Resource Stockpile

You can find these resources behind locked doors in castles. These areas are mostly heavily guarded, with enemy patrols walking around. Make sure you prepare for infiltration.

Tag the Resources for Scouts To Smuggle

Once you are near a resource stockpile, you need to tag it so your scouts know what to smuggle. Be careful, as you can’t do this while you are in combat or detected by enemies. In that case, you will need to clear the area.

Leave the Area Undetected

Once you tag the resources you want to smuggle, leave the area undetected. You will have to wait until the end of the season for your scouts to complete their job.

How To Smuggle More Resources in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Upgrading your stables in the hideout will improve your scouts’ efficiency in smuggling operations. You will need to upgrade the building to Rank 3 in order to allow your scouts to smuggle more resources.

Upgrade	Effect	Cost
Stables Rank 1	Requires 2 Scouts to tag a Stockpile.	Free
Stables Rank 2	Requires 1 Scout to tag a Stockpile.	70x Crops 20x Minerals 50x Wood
