There’s a very obvious increase in the rate of drops of rare weapons and armor, Drachma, and hard-to-find crafting material such as Carbon Crystals, effectively balancing out a reward system that I feel Assassin’s Creed Origins was previously a little too thrifty with.
One of my biggest gripes with Assassin’s Creed Origins out of the box was the sparsity of crafting materials and Drachma, but here in Sinai I was immediately gifted with a suit of legendary armor when I arrived and the bounty only grew as I played through the quests. I can’t tell you how many times I saw the desynchronization screen while attempting to infiltrate that fortress, but after finally taking down over 30 Romans, successfully assassinating my target, and walking out one level stronger with some legendary loot in tow I’d call it one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had with Assassin’s Creed Origins yet.The added level of difficulty feels justified with how generous The Hidden Ones is with its rare loot and XP.
