The best Naoe gear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

One of the protagonists in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Assassin's Creed Shadowsintroduces a few interesting twists on the series' established formula. There are new features like Scouts and a fully upgradable hideout, but the big change is the addition of two distinct protagonists Naoe and Yasuke. Unlike Syndicate, these two characters serve vastly different roles, with Naoe being suited more towards stealth and Yasuke a better fighter. Each one has their own skills to unlock, but just as important is equipping them with the best gear. You will be drowning in loot over your playtime so knowing which is worth keeping and upgrading can be tricky. If Naoe is your preferred character, these are the items you should be using to maximize her potential.
Best Naoe gear

Naoe can hold two weapons, plus armor, headgear, and a trinket. These are the ones we found to be the most powerful for her.
Weapons
For Naoe's katana, the Bloodshade legendary katana has the most powerful bleed abilities in the game. It obviously inflicts bleed, but its special perk is that bleed buildup doesn't drain over time so you don't have to be overly aggressive to get it to proc. You can find this katana on a ship to the west of Osaka on the coast of Amagasaki in Izumi Settsu.

FBC: Firebreak: release window, trailers, gameplay, and more

Three players pose together in FBC: Firebreak.

It wasn't until late into the game that we realized Control was part of the Alan Wake universe. After its DLC and Alan Wake 2 solidified the connection, excitement for Control 2 rose to the level of other upcoming video games like Death Stranding 2. While we still don't have a ton of information about the true sequel, we are getting a strange spinoff in the Control universe in the form of FBC: Firebreak. This is Remedy's first fully online multiplayer game, but loses none of that creative and off-kilter edge the studio is defined by. The walls are always shifting in the Oldest House but we managed to sneak in and grab all the documents we could on this new game.

This is just one upcoming PS5 game, upcoming Xbox Series X game, and upcoming PC game that deserves your attention so check them all out.

The best Yasuke gear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Yasuke stares down an enemy in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

After a fairly lengthy intro in Assassin's Creed Shadows, you will have access to both Naoe and Yasuke and can swap between the two as you please for the rest of the game. Your XP is shared between the two characters, but each one has their own skills to master and gear to equip. Naoe is more suited to sneaking and assassinating enemies without being detected, while Yasuke takes a more direct approach and is built for open combat. This means each one should be using the appropriate gear to support that playstyle. Weapons, armor, and trinkets are dumped on you for doing almost everything, which makes sorting through it all and finding the best gear a bit annoying. For Yasuke, these are the pieces of armor and weapons you should focus on getting.
Best Yasuke gear

Just like Naoe, Yasuke can hold two weapons, wear armor and headgear, plus equip a trinket.
Weapons
Yasuke's long katana is his old reliable primary weapon, with the best of the best being Venom Pillar. This weapon allows you to instantly charge a posture attack without holding the button by swapping between light and heavy attacks. You should be doing this naturally for better combos, buit this makes his basic attacks even more lethal. If you add the engraving that prevents your attacks from being interrupted, you become unstoppable.
