We’ve collected all the AC Mirage weapons to bring you their unique effects and locations, as well as how to fully upgrade them with schematics.

Where are the Assassin’s Creed Mirage weapons? As a graduate assassin, Basim has an expanding arsenal of swords and daggers at his disposal. We’ve scoured all of Baghdad and beyond to bring you a complete list of AC Mirage weapons and their effects, as well as their locations.

It’s worth noting that some AC Mirage weapons can only be accessed until after specific AC Mirage missions, while others are locked behind DLC paywalls. However, the vast majority can be found within gear chests in specific areas on the map. The first gear chest you open in an area is guaranteed to provide you with a weapon or AC Mirage outfit. Without further ado, here are all the AC Mirage weapons in the stealth game, along with their locations, effects, and how to upgrade them.

The blacksmith who takes upgrade schematics to rank up Assassin's Creed Mirage weapons.

How to upgrade weapons in Assassin’s Creed Mirage

AC Mirage weapons can be upgraded with upgrade schematics, which you can accrue by opening subsequent gear chests in the same area on the map as your chosen weapon. These upgrade schematics can then be taken to a blacksmith along with a set amount of iron and leather depending on your weapon’s current rank.

The AC Mirage upgrade requirements are:

  • Rank 1-2: Upgrade Schematic, 60 Iron, Leather
  • Rank 2-3: Upgrade Schematic, 120 Iron, 60 Leather

It’s worth noting that any upgrades to your AC weapons cannot be reversed, so choose carefully if you have a limited number of resources at your disposal.
