GUIDE

Naval Combat

The sea is where Black Flag lives. Master the Jackdaw's weapons and boarding to plunder anything afloat.

In battle

  • Broadside cannons for big ships; swivel guns and chain shot to disable smaller ones.
  • Ram brigs and gunboats for quick kills; brace to reduce incoming damage.
  • Whittle a ship to boarding range, then complete objectives to plunder or claim it.
  • Fire barrels and the mortar deal with tight groups and forts.
