"Assassin's Creed Origins" is now out — offering a living, breathing ancient world for fans of the famed franchise. Since many are excited to jump into the action right away, here are five essential tips for players to take note of while they travel through ancient Egypt.

1. Horses Save More Time Compared with Camels

Although the idea of riding a camel may be exciting for players, it is not a good mode of transportation. Camels have benefits when it comes to combat, but for a much faster travel time, horses are a much better option.

2. Loot as Much as Possible

Since "Origins" is considered a loot game, this means players should loot every establishment they see. Every tomb, building or enemy base can be looted by activating Bayek's pulse ability. Players simply need to use the D-pad and press Y next to anything that lights up. Most of the time, people will get a crafting item of money.

3. Try Out All the Weapons

While several players just choose a standard sword and board, there are actually many interesting options other than those. Scepters are good for quick attacks because of their range, while dual blades are also a popular option among players. Users are advised to play around the weapons until they find what they like.

4. Accomplish Side Quests

Upon completing side quests, players will receive a massive reward if the quest giver is wealthy. Users must avoid quests from peasants and farmers becayse they usually give small rewards.

5. Take Part in Races

In this new feature, players can participate in Hippodrome races to earn more money. Killing enemies during these races will help players gain the Road Rage trophy as well.

Developed and published by Ubisoft, "Assassin's Creed Origins" is available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
