For a while now, Assassin’s Creed has given players a fair amount of freedom in how they want to customise their character, which is something that’s been expanded upon massively in the RPG games and brought forward to Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Ubisoft’s open world stealth adventure is out in the wild, and now the damage control begins.
While Shadows does give you a decent amount of control over how you want Naoe and Yasuke to look, there are a few minor things that go a little unexplained. One great example of this is hiding your gear, which is an easy-to-miss option during customisation.
How To Hide Naoe And Yasuke’s Gear
By default, Naoe and Yasuke will both always be equipped with some kind of headwear from the moment you find your first bit of head gear. However, those pieces of head gear will also always be removed during cutscenes, giving you a glimpse at what they look like without the helmets, hoods, and bandanas.
As it turns out, there’s actually a way to remove the hide the headwear from your character during gameplay too, although it’s never explicitly explained when you play. All you need to do to hide your gear is head to the Inventory menu, select the gear you no longer want to show up while playing, and then press R2 on PS5 or RT on Xbox.
You can also choose to hide your body armour as well, although that does end up looking a little weird for both Naoe and Yasuke.
Once you’ve done this, the selected bit of armour won’t show up on your character, which means you can play as Naoe and Yasuke without a massive helmet or hood hiding their face. Much like applying a customisation option to your weapon or armour once you’ve unlocked the Forge, hiding your headwear doesn’t remove its effects from your character.
Choosing to hide your gear is simply a cosmetic choice you can make if you want to see more of Naoe and Yasuke during gameplay. It’s up to you, but don’t worry about there being any negative side effects.
