We're excited to detail an all-new feature coming to Assassin's Creed Odyssey this week: Visual Customization, better known as Transmog.
Without further ado, here's everything you need to know about the feature.
Looks do matter
The Visual Customization System allows you to change the visual appearance of your gear and weapons while keeping their original statistics. This feature is directly available from inventory and doesn't cost any drachmae nor has any cool down. You can change the visual appearance of your items at any time.
Visuals are forever
We designed the Visual Customization System to make the visuals work as collectibles, meaning, as soon as you have collected a gear piece or weapon it will add its visual to the pool of selectable appearances. That way you'll be able to keep the visual at any time, no matter if you should decide to dismantle, sell, or store it.
And yes, this works retroactively, too. Any appearances of gear items or weapons collected prior to the introduction of this feature to the game with 1.0.7 will be automatically available as selectable, whether you still own the item or not.
The sky is the limit
Now, you're probably asking yourself what limitations there are to this feature. The good news is there are almost none!
You will be able to select the visuals from any level of rarity. Meaning, you can apply the appearance from any item, not matter how rare, to any other item. The only limitation is that you can only choose visuals from the same item category. So you won't be able to apply a spear visual to a sword, for example.
General Q&A
What is Visual Customization Feature?
This feature allows you to change the appearance of weapons or gear by keeping the original statistics of the item.
Can you change appearance of gear and weapons, or only either of them?
You will be able to change the visual appearance of weapons (melee & range) and gear items.
Can I select the visuals from every and all items of all rarities?
Yes, you can totally change the visuals no matter the level of the item, rarity, etc. The only limit is the category. So you won't be able to select the visual of a sword for a spear, etc. ;)
What happens if I dismantle or sell an item?
The feature works in a similar way as Collectibles. As soon as you have collected any item, it will be available in the Visual Customization menu. Even if you dismantle, sell, or store the item.
Are there dependencies on the availability of visuals?
All models are available, no matter your level or the level of the item. However, some models have additional variations that you unlock as your level increases. You need to have the item unlocked to see what variations are available.
Do I need to pay drachmae to change visuals?
There are no costs, conditions, or cool downs using this feature. It will be directly available from the inventory.
What happens if I dismantled items prior to the feature being live?
It works, retroactively. Any visual that you have owned at some point throughout your playthrough will be automatically available for you to use when the feature is live.
Can I choose from Premium items?
Absolutely, yes. However, we decided not to have Premium Items visible in the Visual Customization collection, until you own an item – then it will be visible and can be selected as visual.
Can I go naked while keeping stats?
Nopes, no playing in undies while keeping sweet stats. ;)
