Middle-earth Shadow of War: How to Give Training Orders

How to Give Training Orders in Shadow of War

Middle-earth: Shadow of War introduces a ton of gameplay changes to put you right in charge of an army. You can even give Training Orders to orcs that follow you, leading to them becoming strong forces to be reckoned with. These buffs range from elemental enhancements to giving them a small posse to roll with. They’re very useful when strengthening your forces, so here’s how to give them to your followers.

You may notice that you’ve gotten training orders left and right in the game. Most notably from the chests that you can buy. In order to actually order your orcs around with them, head to the start menu and select the Army option. Highlight the orc you want to give a training order to, and select the “Command” option. (Triangle on PS4 and Y on Xbox One.) Next, select Training Orders (Square on PS4 and X on Xbox One) and choose whichever you want to give them. Keep in mind that their weapons can’t have more than one element tied to them. You can really stack up the orders and beef up one orc, though.

Be careful, of course. If you give them too much power, they might think they’re too good to be led by you. That’s right, your followers can even betray you in Middle-earth: Shadow of War!
