Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Is the Premium Starter Pack Worth it?

Confused about the purchase? This article will help you decide whether the premium starter pack in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is worth buying.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the latest addition to the iconic AC series. Recently launched on March 20, AC Shadows has already generated buzz in the gaming community because of its intense combat, deep exploration, and rich storyline.

Ubisoft silently released the Premium Starter Pack for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and it has not received a unanimous reaction from AC fans. The expensive price of 35$ is a big turnoff for the purchase. Being a core AC fan, the premium starter pack failed to impress me, and I can say it is not worth your money.

If you are in a dilemma about buying the pack and looking for concrete reasons to make the decision, this detailed article will help you make the final call.

What Is In the Premium Starter Pack of Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Ubisoft is known for the pompous launch of the starters pack, where they put countdowns for the launch of packs. However, this time, the starter pack is released silently. You need to pay $35 for the pack, and it will include the following items:

• 2 exclusive new weapons for Naoe and Yasuke.
• 5 mastery points.
• 4,200 Helix Credits.

With the details listed, it is time to answer the question: is it worth the money?

Should You Buy the Premium Starter Pack?

The details of the weapons in the starter pack have not been shared. However, looking at the images, you can estimate that the items are a Katana and a Teppo Rifle. Players can unlock better weapons while progressing in the game. Thus, purchasing the starter pack for the exclusive weapons is not recommended.

The Helix Credits unlock extra items, in-game currency, resources, and more. Also, the mastery points help you obtain the special skills. However, neither the Helix credits nor the mastery points offer a justified reason to purchase the premium starter pack in Assassin’s Creed Shadows at such a high price.

If you are a beginner or just looking for a quick way to progress in the game, the starter pack can be an ideal purchase. However, for experienced players, the $35 price tag is a big constraint for what the pack offers.
