AC Valhalla 1.5.2 Changes Highlights
AC Valhalla 1.5.2 introduces a big new gameplay feature – the new Armory Building in your Settlement, thanks to which you can save up to five loadouts for your character.
To be able to build the Armory in Ravensthorpe, you need to first reach Level 3 with your Settlement. To build it, you also need Foreign Cargo, which you can loot by completing River Raids.
The visual function of this building is to display your gear loadouts. The functionality that the Armory brings is the loadouts themselves. You can now save up to five unique loadouts for your character and switch between them at any time. These will be on display in your Armory.
You can swap between your loadouts by pressing on the numbered buttons on the left-hand side in Eivor’s Character Screen.
The second big news from this update is the fact that Ubisoft has added new rewards for completing River Raids. These include new weapons and customizations.
There are no new river raids added with this update. If you need to refresh your memory or you don’t know at all what these are, check out my guide on River Raids in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
