Tips & Tricks

A few habits that smooth out the seas.

Good habits

  • Upgrade the Jackdaw before Edward — the ship wins the game.
  • Buy map upgrades so you never hunt collectibles blind.
  • Keep smoke bombs and berserk darts for boarding and forts.
  • Sail with the wind and use swivel guns to finish weakened ships for clean plunder.
  • Do a dedicated hunting run early to max your pouches and health.
