How to Unlock and Equip Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Preorder Rewards
Preorder and deluxe edition buyers for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced can unlock a stack of cosmetic rewards and in-game gear, including skins that lean into Edward Kenway’s larger-than-life pirate swagger on the Caribbean seas. This guide walks through what you get and how to equip each item once you’re far enough into the campaign.
How to Claim & Equip Preorder & Deluxe Edition Items in AC Black Flag Resynced
Ubisoft is planning for players to receive a “host of cosmetic and in-game items” tied to preorder and deluxe edition purchases for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced. To start using the gear on Edward, you’ll first need to finish the prologue and then reach Havana. Once you arrive, open your inventory screen, then equip every item you’ve unlocked into its matching slots.
The AC Black Flag Resynced deluxe edition also adds extra cosmetic content specifically for the Jackdaw (your ship). That ship cosmetics content, however, won’t show up until after you complete Sequence 2.
When you move into Sequence 3, you’ll have to wait until the mission titled “Prizes and Plunder”. Only then will you gain access to a Harbormaster. From the Harbormaster’s ship upgrades menu, go to the “Appearance” tab, and you’ll be able to equip the deluxe edition Jackdaw cosmetics there.
After finishing “Prizes and Plunder,” you can also customize Jackdaw from the captain’s cabin, which sits directly beneath the wheel.

Preorder customers receive the Blackbeard’s Crimson Pack. That bundle includes an outfit for Edward along with two in-game items. If you instead buy the deluxe edition of AC Black Flag Resynced, you’ll get the Master Assassin Naval and Character pack, which covers rewards for both Edward and the Jackdaw.
Below is a rundown of the full preorder and deluxe edition showcase for AC4 Resynced players:
Heavy strike range is increased.
While anonymous, pistols do not consume ammunition.
Rope Dart cooldown is shorter.
Buried Treasure Hull Trim

Ubisoft has also teased a major shift in how players explore the deep sea in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, including added shipwrecks and new treasure.
What to Watch Next
To make sure you don’t miss any of the ship cosmetics, focus on timing: complete Sequence 2 before expecting Jackdaw appearance rewards, then reach the “Prizes and Plunder” mission to access the Harbormaster and the Appearance tab. After that, the captain’s cabin customization option should let you apply your changes.
