Movement and Profile: Basics 2

Learn how to use low and high profiles effectively in Assassin's Creed Rogue. Master walking, running, free-running, and climbing to stay hidden or get the drop on your targets.

Alright, let's talk about how Shay moves around in Assassin's Creed Rogue. It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it, but there are two main ways he can travel: low profile and high profile. Think of it like walking versus running, but with some important gameplay differences!

You control Shay's movement with the right stick. When you're just walking around, you're in Low Profile by default. This is your stealth mode, basically.

• In low profile, Shay walks slowly. You can pick up the pace a bit by holding down the 'A' or 'X' button, but it's still pretty subtle.
• The big advantage here is that guards won't spot you as easily. It takes them longer to notice you, which is super helpful when you need to get close to someone or just disappear into a crowd.
• This is your go-to for blending in with other people and tailing targets without them knowing you're there.

Now, when you want to move faster or get to higher ground, you'll switch to High Profile. You do this by pulling the right trigger.

• High profile lets Shay run, jump, and free-run all over the place. It's also how you'll climb up walls.
• The trade-off is that you're much more noticeable. Guards will spot you way quicker when you're in high profile, so it's not ideal for sneaking.
• However, this mode unlocks some cool assassination moves, like running assassinations where you take someone down as you sprint past, and air assassinations from above.

So, remember: low profile for stealth and blending in, high profile for speed, climbing, and more aggressive takedowns. Switching between them is key to navigating the world and handling different situations!
