How to Get More Scouts

How to Get More Scouts

Scouts are used to uncover quest objectives, smuggle resources back to your hideout, and clear out your wanted status in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Read on to learn how to recruit more scouts, how to replenish them, and what scouts can do in-game.

How to Recruit Scouts

Build and Upgrade the Study

In your Hideout, building the Study for the first time gives you +1 Scout to work with. You can upgrade the Study up to Level 3, recruiting an additional scout each level and improving quest searching ability.

  • Level 1: builds the Study for +1 Scout. Reduce search zone for quests by 25%.
  • Level 2: +1 Additional Scout
  • Level 3: +1 Additional Scout. Reduce search zone for quests by 60%.

How to Upgrade the Hideout

Complete the Finding New Allies Quest

After returning to Tomiko's Homestead during the From Spark to Flame main quest, a new side quest will spawn just outside of the hideout. Complete the short quest, Finding New Allies, to gain +2 Scouts.

How to Replenish Scouts

Scouts Can Be Refreshed at a Kakurega

Scout Refresh in a Kakurega

For 200 Mon, you can replenish one scout at any Kakurega. If you are in urgent need of a scout when you've run out, this is your best option.

Building a Nando Reduces Refresh Costs

Building a connectable room called a Nando reduces the scout replenishment cost to 140 Mon.

Scouts Replenish When Seasons Change

Scouts replenish at the beginning of the next season automatically. They also return with any stockpiles you marked for smuggling back to the hideout.

What Do Scouts Do?

Find Objective Locations (Quests)

Without the Guided Exploration Mode setting, you must gather clues to determine a potential area of an objective. After, you can optionally deploy Scouts to pinpoint their exact locations.

Best and Recommended Settings

Smuggle Stockpiles Back to the Hideout

Smuggling Resources

While exploring, you may find guarded Stockpiles. These can be marked, and while at the Hideout, you can assign a Scout to smuggle them out. The Scouts will return with the resources at the start of the next season.
