Best Hideout Building Priority

You can prioritize certain Hideout buildings and upgrades to maximize their benefits and your resources, especially early on. To get the most out of the Hideout's perks, here's our recommended build order:

# Building Priority Reasoning
1 Kakurega Best to upgrade to Lvl. 3 early, giving you access to more Kakurega locations.
2 Forge Upgrade to Lvl. 2 for basic Engravings. Useful for Naoe, as regular Engravings can grant health bonuses from assassinations.
3 Stables Upgrading the Stables at least to Lvl. 2 maximizes your Scout usage.
4 Study Get even more Scouts to work with as you build and upgrade the Study.
▶ How to Get More Scouts
5 Tera Grants passive +10% XP gain bonus, especially useful in higher levels.
6 Zashiki and Tea Room These two significantly enhance Ration heals, each by 20%, especially useful on higher difficulties.
7 Dojo The Dojo is a lower priority since your own Solo Perks are more important than training allies.
8 Nando Decent buff of reduced Scout replenishes at Kakurega spots.
9 Jinja Lower priority, build for the Hideout XP gains.
10 Gallery Build later for Hideout XP as switching equipment loadouts is less useful.
11 Small, Medium, Large Room Build these just for Hideout XP as your last priority. You can also put decorations in them.

How to Upgrade the Hideout

Construct and Upgrade Hideout Buildings

To earn XP for the Hideout, you must construct buildings and then upgrade them in the Build menu. This includes the Main Buildings and their Themed Rooms.

Gather the Required Resources to Build Rooms

Hideout Room Upgrade Requirements

Building rooms will require resources that players can farm by completing contracts. Travel to any Kakurega and browse through the contracts.

All Kakurega Locations
