Best Weapons in Assassin's Creed Mirage

Find the best weapons in assassins creed mirage, including swords and daggers from Gear Chests, Contracts, and DLC.

In assassins creed mirage, you begin with the Initiate of Alamut Sword and Initiate of Alamut Dagger. While these starting weapons are capable, you may wish to find better gear. Most other swords and daggers are found within Gear Chests, which are a type of collectible. There are 30 Gear Chests total, with three in each territory. The first chest opened in a territory will always contain a weapon or outfit, while the subsequent two chests in that territory will yield Upgrade Schematics for that item. Some weapons are acquired through means other than Gear Chests, such as the Rostam Sword/Dagger obtained from completing Contracts, and unique unlock methods for weapons found in the Hidden Chamber. Additionally, some weapons are exclusive to paid Downloadable Content (DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch)).

Best Weapons to Use:

For players who prefer stealth, the Hidden One Sword is a strong choice, as its fifth hit poisons enemies, which is effective against tougher foes. Pairing it with the Hidden One Dagger allows defeated poisoned enemies to create damaging poison clouds. The Rostam Sword is another excellent option, offering a stacking damage bonus up to 50% with consecutive attacks; this requires completing Contracts like The Weapons Dealer. For a dagger to complement the Rostam Sword, the Initiate of Alamut Dagger is recommended, especially if you have good parry timing. If you find yourself taking a lot of damage, The Samsaama dagger is a good alternative, as its every fifth hit restores 10% of your health.
