Hacking Assassin's Creed Origins

[PZ]

Although most of you guys are not playing the AC series, I thought I'd post this method so I don't forget how to do it. This works only for the PC version 

Browsing the 'net I discovered that UBI*bleep* had added a new feature that "hacks" how the game is played. For example, you can change player health, make weapon ammo unlimited, change day/night scale, change relationships between factions, etc.  Unfortunately UBI*bleep* discontinued that feature when they changed from Uplay to Connect.  However, they left the parameters (.ini) file intact, and it can be manually modified.

The editable file is named ACP.ini and it is found in your Documents/Assassin's Creed Origins folder.

To start a "hacked Animus" you choose one of your saved games in the Play menu. There is a new clickable choice "Q" which creates a copy of the saved game which is now labeled "Hacked". The Q command also creates a "stock" ACP.ini file on your Documents/Assassin's Creed Origins folder, which you can now edit.

Very important: you MUST have that saved game loaded because the game automatically syncs the ACP.ini file with the cloud version.

Many of the parameters are relatively self explanatory, but some might require some research. I like to make my character much stronger than out-of-the-box so I've changed them significantly. However, I do not know the upper/lower limits of many of them. For example, strength of weapons: 100 is "normal" but I changed it to 400 to see what would happen and the results were fantastic. I can now deal with the ridiculously high level bosses in the game with ease. Check the parameters list above for an idea how this might w0#k. I have checked online and very little information about the individual parameters exists.

This is what little I have found online:

Parameters found online

> xxx levelscale = 0. Changes how much that faction scales relative to your character. Can be a value between -50 to 50.(not sure) For example: PtolemaicLevelScale = 50 means all pharaoh soldiers will always be 50 levels higher than you.

> PlayerBowQuiverSizeInfinite = false and PlayerToolPouchSizeInfinite = false. Can be true or false. If set to "true", you will have infinite arrows and/or tools.

> PlayerMovementSpeedMultiplier = 100. Changes how fast your character moves on foot. Max value is 1000 (not sure)

> MaxAmountOfTamedAnimals = 1. Changes how many animals you can tame at once (requires the correct skills unlocked). Max value is 5.

> WorldMapUnfogged = false. If set to "true", the whole map will be unfogged. Once that happens, you cannot revert the change (not sure)

> XY relations = 0. Changes the relationship between faction X and faction Y. For example: "RomansRebelsRelations = 0" changes the relationship between roman soldiers and rebels. Can be a value between 0 and 3. 0 is default relationship. 1-3 can be allies, neutral and hostile, though I forgot which is which.

> StressLevelDecrementationSpeedModifier = 100 changes how fast enemies give up searching you. Max value is 1000 (not sure)

> ConflictRangeMultiplier = 100 changes how far enemies can see you. Not sure what the max value is.

> InvestigationRangeMultiplier = 100 changes how far enemies search range is. Not sure what the max value is

> CivilianAndCatsDesynchRuleDisabled = true changes your desync rule. If set to "true", you will desync after killing 3 civilians or cats. If "false", you can become a mass murderer.

> PlayableCharacterIndex = 20. Changes your playable character. Can be a value between 0 and 20, though you need to figure out which is which. List of controllable characters: (potential spoiler?)

> PerpetualAdrenalineEnabled = false. If "true", you have infinite adrenaline

> DeadlyAssassinationEnabled = false. If "true", you assassinations are guaranteed to be lethal.

> PlayerExperienceGainingMultiplier = 100 changes how fast you can gain XP. Max value is 100, meaning this setting can only reduce your XP gain.

All other settings are either not commonly requested or are very intuitive. Good luck.

Below is my modified file. Comparing the values gives you a sense of how the game has changed for me. The green items are my comments and need to be removed if using this file.

Ahhh, .INI files and their seemingly unlimited power, LOL!

Indeed - gotta love those .ini files
