Gaining Experience and Levelling Up

Learn how to gain experience and level up quickly in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Master skill trees, gear, and mission suitability to dominate London.

Alright, so you're diving into Assassin's Creed Syndicate and wondering how to get stronger, right? It's pretty straightforward, actually. Just like in other games, you'll be earning experience points (XP) for doing stuff. Rack up 1,000 XP, and boom – you get a skill point. You can then spend these points in three different skill trees to unlock new moves, boost your stats, or get some handy general perks. It's all about making your Assassin the best they can be to take on London!

Here’s the lowdown on how you’ll be earning that sweet XP:

• Taking down enemies, whether it's a straight-up fight or a sneaky assassination.
• Crushing those main story missions, the ones that move the plot forward.
• Getting involved with your Associates and taking over parts of London.
• Tackling those side stories, like the London Stories, which offer a nice change of pace.
• Nailing those optional objectives in any mission – the main ones, side ones, or even the optional ones within those.
• Completing those tricky perk challenges that pop up.

Levelling up isn't just about getting points; it's crucial for your journey. Spending those skill points helps you reach the next level, and each level up makes you better suited for certain missions. Seriously, being the right level can make a tough mission feel way easier. Plus, levelling up is key for equipping and crafting better gear, which is a massive help.

Now, a heads-up: you can attempt missions that are higher level than you, but be warned – the enemies will hit like a truck and take way more damage. While a clean stealth kill can still one-shot most enemies even if you're under-levelled, it definitely ramps up the difficulty and makes things a lot more challenging if you get spotted.
