All Hideout Buildings

Jump to a Hideout Building
Hiroma Stables Kakurega
Study Forge Dojo
Themed Rooms (Extra Rooms)

Hiroma

Hideout Hiroma

The Hiroma is the main building of the Hideout and serves as the central hub for all other structures. Inside, you'll find the Improve Hideout table, which provides access to the Build menu.

Go to the Hiroma to check the Hideout's status, manage building and room construction, and upgrades.

Stables

Hideout Stables

The Stables building is the only other building already built in the Hideout with the Hiroma. Upgrading it improves the efficiency of smuggling stockpiles.

  • Level 1: Tagging Stockpiles costs 2 Scouts
  • Level 2: Tagging Stockpiles costs 1 Scout
  • Level 3: 20% more resources from Stockpiles

Kakurega

Hideout Kakurega

Building the Kakurega should be a higher priority than all the other buildings, as this nets you access to the other Kakurega safehouses on the map. Upgrading is also a priority for its useful abilities and access to more Kakurega spots.

  • Level 1: +1 Scout, Unlocks Kakurega safehouses
  • Level 2: Scouts can clear Wanted alerts and you can get seasonal provincial rumors that reveal clue locations
  • Level 3: Adds more Kakurega locations and reduces unlock costs by 30%

Study

Hideout Study

Building the Study grants you more Scouts and can ease quest searching with smaller search zones.

  • Level 1: +1 Scout and reduce search zone for quests by 25%
  • Level 2: +1 Scout
  • Level 3: +1 Scout and reduce search zone for quests by 60%

Forge

Hideout Forge

The Forge is another priority building, for it allows you to upgrade your Weapons and Armor further and attach more high-caliber Engravings.

  • Level 1: Weapons and Armor can be upgraded to Lvl. 20 and dismantled
  • Level 2: Unlocks Lvl. 40 upgrades and non-Legendary engravings attachment
  • Level 3: Unlocks Lvl. 60 upgrades and Legendary engravings attachment

Dojo

Hideout Dojo

Building the Dojo can strengthen your allies. Upgrading it lets you have two allies fight alongside you instead of just one and further enhances training ranks, making them stronger.

  • Level 1: Allies can be trained to Initiate rank
  • Level 2: Have two Allies instead of one
  • Level 3: Allies can be trained to Veteran rank

How to Recruit All Allies
