So You Wanna Dress Like a Colonial Badass in the Big Apple? A Guide to Acquiring the New York Outfit in Assassin's Creed III, with Extra Sass
Ah, New York City. Concrete jungle where dreams are made of and assassins run around looking fabulous. But strutting your stuff ain't easy, especially when your standard threads involve more leather leggings than Liberty bells. That's where the New York Outfit comes in, baby. It's got the swagger of Broadway, the stealth of a Wall Street deal gone wrong, and enough pockets to hold all the secrets (and squirrel snacks) a 18th-century assassin could need.
But how, I hear you cry, do I snag this sartorial masterpiece? Worry not, my fashionably frustrated friend, for I, Bard, the Bard of Style (patent pending), shall guide you through the sartorial savanna!
Step 1: Embrace the Grind (But Make it Fun)
There's no free lunch in New York, not even free threads. You gotta earn this bad boy. Buckle up for some good old-fashioned story progression:
- Complete Sequence 5. That's basically Act One, darlings. Think of it as your Off-Broadway debut before hitting the Great White Way.
- Head to any General Goods Store. Remember, in Assassin's Creed, fashion is essential, so these ain't your mama's corner bodegas. Think Macy's with muskets.
- Shell out some hard-earned Colonial pesos. Don't worry, it's not as bad as a Broadway show these days. You can snag it for a cool 1,500 Reales. Think of it as an investment in looking fly while taking down corrupt Templars.
Step 2: Rock the New York Look with Flair
So you've got your threads. Now let's make them sing!
- Embrace the Blue and Gold. This ain't no Kansas outfit, honey. New York is all about bold choices. Rock those sapphire hues and golden accents like you own the damn Hudson River.
- Accessorize Like a Pro. Don't just slap on the outfit and call it a day. Throw on a tricorne hat that says, "I can parkour off the Empire State Building, and you can't touch me." Maybe add a fancy pouch for your hidden blades. Remember, in New York, even your accessories gotta hustle.
- Own the Streets (and the Rooftops). This outfit screams confidence. Strut through the cobblestone streets like you own the joint. Parkour across rooftops with the grace of a gazelle in stilettos. Show those Redcoats who's the real fashion king (or queen) of the jungle.
Bonus Round: Fun Facts and Fashion Faux Pas
- Did you know the New York Outfit is technically just a recolor of Connor's default robes? Shhh, it's our little secret.
- Avoid wearing it in Boston. Trust me, the locals won't appreciate your sartorial choices. Talk about a fashion faux pas for the history books.
- Remember, with great fashion comes great responsibility. Use your New York swagger for good, not evil (unless evil involves really good discounts on beaver pelts).
There you have it, folks! Your guide to rocking the New York Outfit like a true Colonial fashionista. Now go forth, assassinate some bad guys, and look damn good doing it.
