Assassin's Creed Mirage: Complete The Weapons Dealer Contract

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's get this contract sorted! The Weapons Dealer is one of the first ones you'll likely stumble upon in Assassin's Creed Mirage. To kick things off, head to the Hidden One’s Bureau and check out the contracts board. You'll need to have finished the main story quest 'Zeroing In' first. Once you're there, you'll see 'The Weapons Dealer' contract. Take a look at the rewards – there's a special bonus if you can complete it without taking any damage, so keep that in mind! When you're ready, open your investigations menu, then contracts, and track this one to get started.

First things first, you need to find the Weapons Dealer. Head over to the Round City. Once you're close to the quest marker, use your falcon to scout ahead and pinpoint his exact location on your map. Go meet him, and he'll give you the rundown. Remember that no-damage bonus? This is where it counts. He'll start moving, and you'll need to follow him. He'll eventually stop near an ally and task you with taking out three guards.

Walkthrough

1
Where: The first alleyway after meeting the Weapons Dealer.
2
What: Three guards are present, one overlooking the alley from a building.
3
What to do: Your best bet is to climb the building directly in front of you to take out the guard up top first. This gives you a great vantage point. From there, use your throwing knives to eliminate the other two guards below. If you're out of throwing knives, you can try to sneak up behind them for a stealth kill. You might even get lucky and be able to perform an aerial assassination on one from the rooftop if the other is positioned just right.

Why this way: Taking out the high-ground guard first makes the rest of the encounter much easier and safer, especially if you're aiming for that no-damage bonus.

After dealing with those guards, the Weapons Dealer will move on. Follow him to a large gate where he'll hide again. This time, there are four guards to deal with, and the large gate makes it tricky to get a good angle. Thankfully, there's a loot chest with throwing knives right next to where the Weapons Dealer is hiding – grab them!

Where: Near the large gate where the Weapons Dealer is hiding.
What: Four guards are blocking the path, and a loot chest with throwing knives is nearby.
What to do: Use the throwing knives you just found. Aim for the pots near the first set of guards; hitting them should blind the guards, allowing you to rush in and take them down. Next, sneak into the room to your right and take out the third guard from behind. For the final guard, make your way down the pathway and use one of the crates for cover. Throw a knife to eliminate him from a distance.
Why this way: Using the pots to blind the guards is a quick way to neutralize them without raising an alarm. Taking out the third guard stealthily and using cover for the last one ensures you don't take any unnecessary hits.

The Weapons Dealer will keep moving. Stick with him until you reach a courtyard near the **Qadi District Office**. Here, you'll find five more guards, including one on a balcony overlooking the area.

Where: Courtyard near the Qadi District Office.
What: Five guards, one on a balcony.
What to do: Use the surrounding buildings to get up to the balcony and take out the guard there first. From this elevated position, you can use your throwing knives to pick off the remaining guards. If you're running low on knives, you can use the flower beds to lure guards and take them down one by one. Be aware that two guards tend to stick close together, making them a bit harder to deal with stealthily.
Why this way: Eliminating the balcony guard first gives you a significant advantage and allows you to control the engagement. Using the environment for cover and luring enemies helps maintain the no-damage bonus.

Once all the guards are clear, the Weapons Dealer will proceed to his final destination. Speak with him there to wrap up the contract and claim your rewards.
