Assassin's Creed Unity: How to Gear Up Like a Not-So-Subtle Assassin (Because Seriously, These Robes Scream Ninja)
You've donned the robes, perfected your parkour skills (or, you know, flailed a bit but clung to the rooftops anyway), and now it's time to accessorize. But where, oh where, do you get all those fancy swords and hidden-blade upgrades in Assassin's Creed Unity? Fear not, fellow rooftop runner, this guide will have you looking less like a confused tourist and more like a weaponized tourist in no time.
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Accountant (Because That French Revolution Wasn't Cheap)
Let's be honest, France in the 1700s wasn't exactly known for its bargain-basement weaponry. Forget finding a "buy one, get one free" deal on throwing knives. You're going to need some serious Livres (that's the fancy French word for money) to stock up on an arsenal that would make even Edward Kenway jealous. So get ready to grind out those missions and free some citizens from oppression... all in the name of a shiny new pistol, of course.

Step 2: Forget the Local Mall, Hit Up the Black Market (Because Apparently Being an Assassin is All About Shady Deals)
While there might be a certain charm to waltzing into a store and asking for a nice, pointy sword, that's not quite how things work in Assassin's Creed Unity. Instead, you'll need to seek out the black market shops scattered throughout Paris. These are conveniently marked on your map with a lovely little "F" symbol (which totally stands for "Fancy Weapons," right?). Just be careful not to get too caught up in the revolutionary fervor while you're there – you might accidentally liberate a musket instead of buying one.

Step 3: The Art of the In-Game Menu (Because Who Needs Shopkeepers When You Have Buttons?)
Now, if you're feeling a bit too social for the black market scene (introverts unite!), there's another option. You can access the customization menu and browse the selection of weapons from the comfort of your – uh – not-so-secret Assassin lair. Just remember, this method requires a bit more… well, menu navigation. So buckle up, because you might end up accidentally buying a new hat instead of that sweet new sword.

Bonus Tip: Look Fancy, Fight Fancy (Because Even Assassins Can Appreciate a Little Style)
Don't forget that Assassin's Creed Unity isn't just about blunt force trauma (although there's plenty of that to be had). You've also got a variety of stylish – and deadly – outfits to choose from. So why not look good while you're liberating the French people? Just remember, a fabulous hat won't stop a musket ball, so prioritize accordingly.
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.![]()
With these tips in mind, you'll be a walking (or rather, parkouring) arsenal in no time. Just remember, with great weapons comes great responsibility... to look incredibly cool while you use them. Happy assassinating!
