Ubisoft Is Now Selling XP Boosters For AC: Valhalla
- Thread starter NeoRaider
- Start date
Seems completely unnecessary, it didn't take long for my character to feel very overpowered in Valhalla with very little effort
Pay to not play the game.
I do loath this overly grind approach to game design, particularly open world ones.

Valhalla is much easier to level in than in Odyssey. Odyssey felt like they balanced the game around you buying boosters a lot of the time.
I have no idea why you would even need this. With the changes to combat, you can destroy basically any enemy. It isn't like Odyssey where you could do almost nothing to someone 5 levels higher than you. This time around just shoot their critical points and execute them and that is if you can't just assassinate them outright.
You don't need to focus on leveling up in this game half as much as Odyssey. Pretty much every enemy except for the Zealots with big ass shields can be beaten at any Power level.
Can you make your own quest in Valhalla?
Remember when you could in Odyssey, and they removed the xp boost?
Honestly it really doesn't bother me.

What overly grindy approach are you referring to? Literally every poster so far has said that leveling up is easy and that purchase isn't needed.

i used a 1.5x exp mod in odyssey to avoid the grind and didn't even realize they would sell you one themselves lmao
They've done this forever. They aren't needed at all unless you're trying to power through in 10 hours.
Really unnecessary. I was able to defeat enemies 60 - 100 levels above me with relative ease. The only time I got into trouble was when some slinger (nuisances at best when their level is equal to yours) 150 levels above me almost one-shot me. But then I caught up to him and I almost one-shot him in return, so...
Well, if they are selling it, it's definitely because they think people would rather buy them than play the game. But I can't talk about Vahalla itself as I have not played the game, but Origins definitely fits the bill of my previous post.
I think you can use Ubisoft Connect, use cheat engine and the play the game on Xbox but i need confirmation
Yeah leveling up isn't grindy at all in Valhalla. The pacing is actually pretty good compared to Origins & Odyssey so...if someone just doesn't have as much time on their hands and wants to spend money, have at it I guess, no skin off my back.
So what? People can spend their time and money how they want to, surely? Again, everyone here is saying it's a non-issue and as you just admitted, you don't know about Valhalla even though you criticized it.
It's very solid. I think I liked Origins the most -- this is on the same level as Odyssey for me.
Everything in the Helix store can be had via cheat engine.
i remember exact same reasoning from people for odyssey as well.
defending how its a non issue etc.
Hate to see it, good of them keeping it out until the reviews are done.
It's fun, but kind of bland imo.
6/10 for me. But some people seems to really enjoy it so 🤷♂️.

It was for me. I routinely entered regions 10+ levels above the recommended level, and I had to bump the difficulty to Hard to keep things interesting. But, people did complain in Odyssey (many of them had probably never played it, but never mind), and obviously Ubi listened to that feedback, as you can see by all the posts in here.
Yes. Going through an arc doing some side missions gives you 10 power points easily.
Getting titanium is a chore though.
Oh yes, queue the outrage from people who don't play these games.
1) It was the same with Origins and Odyssey.
2) You practically don't need it if you, you know, play the game.
If the game was making you grind and was gatekeeping content in order to push you into buying this, then people would have a case, but I have played the previous two and they don't.
