You Don't Need a Metal Detector, You Need These Tips: Mastering Metal in Assassin's Creed Rogue
Arrr, matey! Having a spot of trouble keeping your ship afloat in Assassin's Creed Rogue? Is that shiny new cannon upgrade looking more like a distant dream thanks to a metal shortage? Fear not, fellow Templar, because this guide is here to turn your frown upside down (and your sails towards a bountiful harvest of metal).
Farewell, Tin Can, Hello Ironclad!
Metal is the lifeblood of any good Templar warship. You need it for repairs, upgrades, and let's be honest, looking darn intimidating on the high seas. But unlike plundering unsuspecting merchants for gold, finding metal can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Not to worry, we've all been there.
Here are some battle-tested tactics to turn you from a rusty bucket into an unstoppable metal beast:
1. Become a High Seas Highwayman:
- Those unsuspecting blue ships with the pound symbol next to them on the map? Those are your new best friends. These Royal Convoys are absolutely loaded with metal. Sink 'em, loot 'em, and watch your metal reserves skyrocket.
Pro Tip: Head to the North Atlantic. It's practically a metal treasure trove up there. Just be prepared for some choppy waters and maybe a kraken or two (but that's a story for another day).
2. Warehouses: More Than Just Fancy Storage Lockers:
- Don't underestimate the humble warehouse! These scattered buildings on land often hold a surprising amount of metal alongside other goodies. Give them a good ransacking and you might just surprise yourself.
3. The Allure of the Open Seas:
- Keep your eyes peeled while sailing! Wrecks and other nautical debris often have a surprising amount of scrap metal clinging to them. Just be careful not to run aground while you're treasure hunting.
4. The Tavern Whisperer:
- This one requires a bit more coin, but it can be a real time-saver. Head to a tavern in the North Atlantic and find the right bartender (you'll know him by the twinkle in his eye). For a cool 200 pounds, he'll spill the beans on the location of a juicy Royal Convoy, guaranteed to be overflowing with metal.
5. The Not-So-Honest Templar Approach (Use with Caution):
- Alright, this one might not be the most honorable tactic, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, right? If you're feeling particularly ruthless, you can repeatedly capture and release the same enemy ship. This might feel a little grindy, but it's a guaranteed way to get some metal. Just remember, Shay might not approve of these questionable ethics.
Remember, Recruit: Consistency is key! By incorporating these tactics into your Assassin's Creed Rogue routine, you'll be swimming in metal in no time. Now get out there, become a metal-collecting machine, and strike fear into the hearts of your enemies (and maybe pick up a few good sea shanties along the way).
