For long-time Assassin's Creed fans, the hidden blade used to be an instant death sentence for enemies—no levels, no skill trees, just a simple one-hit assassination. However, the series switched to RPG mechanics, requiring players to level up before they faced stronger enemies. Fortunately, Assassin's Creed Shadows reintroduces a method for performing guaranteed one-hit assassinations without changing the game's overall difficulty.
If you like traditional stealth gameplay and want to eliminate opponents quickly, this guide will show you How to Enable Guaranteed One-Hit Assassinations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
How to Enable Guaranteed One-Hit Assassinations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To enable the Guaranteed Assassinations functionality, take the following steps:
Open the main menu.
Navigate to Options.
Select Gameplay.
Open the Difficulty Tuning menu.
Set Guaranteed Assassinations to On.
Once enabled, this option ensures that every assassination attempt is successful, irrespective of the target's level, armor, or health.
Things to keep in mind
While this feature allows you to rapidly defeat enemies, it won't give you invincibility. Here are some key considerations:
Stealth remains important: If an enemy finds you, they will become aware and prepare for conflict, making assassination more difficult.
Skill Tree Modifications: Many assassination-related abilities become less useful. For example, progressing through the Hidden Blade skill tree, which normally improves assassination damage, is no longer required. Other changes, such as improved Eagle Vision or larger Adrenaline Chunks, remain useful.
Combat Balance Remains Unchanged: Enabling this option has no effect on general combat or enemy AI difficulty, ensuring that the game remains challenging outside of assassinations.
Enabling Guaranteed Assassinations allows you to adopt a classic Assassin's Creed playstyle, removing targets with precision and fluidity, much as in the pre-RPG era. Whether you're a practiced assassin or new to the series, this feature allows you to enjoy stealth gaming at its best.
