How to recharge Scout meter in AC: Shadows
As you embark on yourAssassin’s Creed Shadowsadventures, your first task is to acquire a Scout. These companions are invaluable for exploring regions and smuggling resources. However, each use depletes the Scout meter, temporarily limiting your access to these allies. You can replenish this meter with the following techniques:
If you don’t want to spend any coin, you may progress through the main campaign to change the seasons. You may alter it yourself from the World Map, where you’ll see an option to ‘Change Season.’ It won’t always be available, but it will be accessible from time to time. In return, all your Scouts will come back, allowing you to use them again.
You can also buy a refill at a nearbyKakuregahome base, typically costing around 800 Mon to unlock. Look for some bags on the wall and select ‘Refill Scouts.’ Each Scout replenishment requires 200 Mon each, but it may come at a higher price later in the game.
Lastly, you can refill your Scouts by helping random NPCs around the map. These characters won’t have any quest markers, so you’ll need to keep your eyes sharp while exploring. One such example is the man who prompts you with ariddle challengein Sakai. Once you’ve assisted NPCs like this, you’ll have the choice between Scout Intel or World Rumor. Choose the former option to recharge the meter.
Additional Scouts can be recruited by completing various quests or upgrading the Study room. Boosting your allies is essential, as at least two are needed to smuggle materials. Smuggling brings in more resources for your hideout and reduces Scout costs through Stable enhancements. Plus, if you need help with combat, you may recruit unique characters likeYaya.
