Assassin’s Creed fans have hit out at developer Ubisoft for having as many armour sets in its premium store as it does in the “entire base game”, available “only to people who are willing to spend money on extremely overpriced microtransactions”.
In a reddit post blasting Ubisoft, a Valhalla fan opined that the developer “just keeps adding and adding ridiculous shit to the microtransaction store, just milking the whales of their money with content that only a very small percentage of players will actually get to enjoy”.

The post – which has been upvoted over 5000 times – adds that while some of it is “cosmetic stuff”, “it actually affects gameplay and is in some cases rather overpowered”.
“There are 9 armours available that you can acquire through normal gameplay and wear in the base game,” u/Zuazzer wrote. “This does not include the Vinland outfits (which are exclusive only to a very small area of the game), the useless default tunic you begin with, the legacy Bayek outfit available from the Uplay reward system (which is an outfit, not an armour set) or the armour set available through buying amazon prime. It also obviously does not include the weekly selection of stuff from the microtransaction store that you can buy from the in-game merchant Reda.
