How To Get EVERY Legendary Weapon In Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, the 2026 remake by Ubisoft’s Vantage Studios, revitalizes Edward Kenway’s pirate adventure with enhanced visuals, smoother naval combat, improved missions, and a wealth of new content. Among the most exciting elements for players are the legendary weapons—powerful swords and pistols boasting unique perks that transform combat encounters. Whether you’re dual-wielding cutlasses for brutal chain takedowns or lining up precise pistol shots to stagger enemies, collecting every legendary weapon adds depth and power to your playthrough.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover every legendary weapon available in the game, including acquisition methods, requirements, and tips to help you gear up efficiently. Nothing is permanently missable, so you can complete your collection in free-roam after finishing the main story. Expect to spend time upgrading facilities, hunting treasures, and farming resources. Let’s dive in.
Why Legendary Weapons Matter in Black Flag Resynced
Legendary weapons stand out with superior stats and exclusive perks. Swords come in cutlass, rapier, and pistol-sword varieties, affecting damage, maximum takedowns, and special abilities like easier perfect parries or boosted chain attacks. Pistols emphasize range, draw speed, and effects such as time-slowing kills, ricochets, or explosive rounds.
These items aren’t just cosmetic—they provide tangible advantages in land and shipboard combat. For instance, certain blades allow perfect parries against unblockable attacks, while top pistols can one-shot captains. To access many of them, prioritize upgrading Edward’s hideout on Great Inagua. Upgrading the General Store to Level 3 unlocks high-tier stock, while building the Treasure Dealer at the docks requires an initial investment and crafting materials.
Farming Reales through naval contracts, privateering, and treasure hunting is essential, as some weapons cost tens of thousands. Helix Credits (via Animus Exchange on your ship) and occasional DLC/store purchases open additional options. With preparation, you’ll assemble a devastating arsenal.
Legendary Swords: Acquisition and Highlights
Swords form the core of Edward’s melee combat. Here is a breakdown of key legendary options:
Matched Golden Swords (Legendary Cutlass): Purchased from the Treasure Dealer in Great Inagua after constructing his shop. The cost is around 5,000 Reales plus materials: 8 Deer Hide, 12 Crocodile Leather, and 20 Sugar. Their perk makes chain takedowns easier and extends their range, ideal for crowd control during fort assaults or jungle skirmishes.
Masterwork Blades (Legendary Rapier): Also from the Treasure Dealer. Requires 5,000 Reales + 6 Wild Pig Hide, 4 Rabbit Pelt, and 30 Aloe. This rapier excels in precise, thrusting attacks with strong defensive perks.
Dual Cleavers (Legendary Cutlass): Available at the upgraded Great Inagua General Store (Level 3) for approximately 19,000 Reales. These heavy blades deliver devastating blows, perfect for brute enemies.
Blades of Toledo (Legendary Cutlass): Another General Store Level 3 purchase (~24,000 Reales). Known for balance and reliability in prolonged fights.
Order of Gold (Legendary Pistol Sword): General Store Level 3, around 29,000 Reales. Combines swordplay with integrated pistol functionality for hybrid combat.
The Fortune (Legendary Cutlass): Earned by completing a specific treasure map in Great Inagua, unlocked after hanging all 11 character portraits in the manor. This reward ties into the collectibles system and offers amusing bonuses like extra Reales on heavy attack kills.
Persian Scimitars (Legendary Cutlass): Obtained via the “Restored Weathered Map” treasure hunt. Their perk allows brutes to be included in chain takedowns, streamlining tough encounters.
Altaïr’s Swords, Ezio’s Swords, and Naoe’s Shadowblade (Legendary Cutlasses): Acquired through the Animus Exchange in your ship’s cabin for 1,500 Helix Credits each. Ezio’s Swords, for example, enable perfect parries on unstoppable attacks—a game-changer against bosses. These nod to the broader Assassin’s Creed lore and provide excellent utility.
Other notables include Dragon’s Fang Swords, Blades of the Damned, Spring Steel Swords, Le Bourgeoys Blades, and Dark Animus Corsair Pistol Swords. Many come from DLC packs (e.g., Dragon Storm or Hellfire) or hidden chests on specific islands. For the Dilettante trophy/achievement, display 18 swords in the manor—mix legendaries with rares and commons obtained from story progression, underwater shipwrecks (like Espada Ancha in The Black Trench), or secret stores (e.g., Ferraro’s Rapiers on a Gibara island).
Captain Drake’s Swords appear in a chest on Sacrifice Island (coordinates roughly 15, 550). Explore systematically using maps or in-game hints for treasure locations.
Legendary Pistols: Ranged Dominance
Pistols complement swords beautifully for staggering foes or picking off threats from afar. Key legendaries include:
Golden Flintlock Pistols: General Store Level 3 purchase (~18,000 Reales). Perk: Killing an enemy briefly slows time, creating openings for follow-ups.
Captain Drake’s Flintlocks: Buy from a secret General Store on an unmarked island in the Gibara region (coordinates approximately 550, 640). Cost: ~22,000 Reales. Perk: Instant kills on captains (except bosses)—incredibly useful during boarding actions or stronghold raids.
Dark Animus Corsair Flintlocks: Reward from the “Eye In The Dark” Animus project. Perk: Shots ricochet to a second target.
Gargoyle’s Breath: Dig up the buried chest from the Restored Weathered Map on Mystery Island, Navassa (around 914, 124). Features explosive rounds that consume extra Reales per shot but deliver area impact.
Peaceful Means: Purchased from the Great Inagua Treasure Dealer using specific pelts and rum barrels. Perk: Quieter shots for stealthier approaches.
Rustic Flintlocks: Claim for free from the in-game Additional Content shop. Perk: No ammo consumption on quick shots after perfect dodges.
DLC options like Darkworker’s Pistols (Deluxe/Collector’s editions), Diabolist’s Pistols (fire-spreading), and Dragon’s Roar Pistols (range boost after kills) expand your choices. Focus on perks that match your style—aggressive players love explosive or ricochet effects, while explorers appreciate utility like infinite ammo while anonymous.
Strategies for Efficient Collection
- Prioritize Upgrades: Invest early in Great Inagua. The General Store and Treasure Dealer are gateways to dozens of weapons.
- Treasure Hunting: Many legendaries tie into maps and underwater chests. Complete portrait collections and other manor decor for bonus maps.
- Resource Management: Hunt animals for hides/pelts and gather sugar, aloe, and rum. Naval gameplay generates the Reales needed for purchases.
- Animus and DLC: Check the ship cabin regularly for Helix options. DLC packs add unique, powerful gear but aren’t required for core completion.
- Combat Testing: Swap weapons frequently in the manor to test perks. Combine strong swords with high-draw-speed pistols for fluid fights.
- Post-Story Freedom: Return to any region after the campaign. Use fast travel and your upgraded Jackdaw for efficient exploration.
Expect to spend 10–20+ hours on full collection depending on prior progress. Legendary ships (El Impoluto, La Dama Negra, etc.) don’t drop weapons directly but reward ship upgrades that aid treasure runs.
Building Your Arsenal
Collecting every legendary weapon in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced transforms Edward Kenway from a capable pirate into a legendary force across the Caribbean. From the lore-rich Altaïr’s and Ezio’s blades to practical powerhouses like Captain Drake’s Flintlocks and The Fortune, each piece enhances gameplay and ties into the game’s rich collectibles system.
Whether you’re aiming for 100% completion, the Dilettante trophy, or simply the most fun pirate experience, these weapons reward exploration, resourcefulness, and smart upgrades. Dive into the seas, hunt those treasures, and equip the best gear for unforgettable adventures. With the remake’s improvements, Black Flag has never felt more vibrant or rewarding.
