Extra skill points if you shit on a Saxon’s head? If only we could be so lucky.

It’s an awful cute wee bird, too. Unfortunately, it’s just a visual change. Unlike the eagle reward available through Ubisoft Connect, Sýnin’s voice hasn’t been changed to a pleasant, pigeonly coo’ing. That’s the kind of shoddy work that’d keep a poor dove out of gaming’s all-time coolest pigeons - be they Battlefield 1’s sombre messengers or the promiscuous pigeons of Hatoful Boyfriend’s aviary date ’em up. Still, roaming the English (and Norwegian) countryside as a stout little dove should make for a nice break from all that hacking ’n’ slashing - and is sure to cut a fair bit of time off your three-hour walk across the game’s map. You’ll need your Prime and Ubisoft accounts to be linked, and your new feathered friend should be available as soon as you log in after claiming the reward.
