Assassin's Creed Valhalla Update Adds Armory Building, Gear Loadouts

Title Update 1.5.2 for Assassin's Creed Valhalla goes live today, May 24, and adds an Armory building to the Ravensthorpe settlement. This new patch follows on the heels of Update 1.5.1, which Ubisoft deployed several weeks ago in April. Notably, 1.5.1 introduced a new Mastery Challenge Pack to AC Valhalla, its rewards allowing players to unlock previously unseen weapons, tattoos, settlement cosmetics, and the Valkyrie Armor set.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla entered its second year of post-launch support with the advent of the Dawn of Ragnarök expansion, a 30-plus hour experience that once more placed Eivor, and by proxy players, in the role of Odin. Set in the Dwarven Kingdom of Svartalfheim, the DLC follows Odin in his efforts to find his kidnapped son, Baldr. Players who purchased the expansion also received access to a whole host of new gameplay mechanics, powers, and weapons. Whether or not Ubisoft plans to release more paid content for the game remains unknown, though Assassin's Creed faithful can at least look forward to an ongoing stream of free updates.

Better still, the Armory brings with it five customizable gear loadouts, so the Viking can easily switch between stealthy assassin and ruthless raider. Ubisoft noted in the patch notes that constructing the Armory automatically unlocks two loadout slots; the remaining
