Assassin’s Creed Shadows All Legendary Weapons for Naoe and How To Get Them

Want to kill your enemies with the best shinobi weapons in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Luckily, we will cover all legendary Naoe Weapons today.

Despite the mixed reaction to Ubisoft’s recent approach to AC titles, Assassin’s Creed Shadows still leans more toward the RPG genre. Other than a big open world and numerous activities and quests, a core pillar of any role-playing game is various kinds of weapons. AC Shadows features a variety of weapons for its shinobi protagonist, Naoe, including the Katana, Kusarigama, and Tanto. Additionally, the developers have added many options for all three weapons with different legendary variants.
