Unlocking Assassin Legends: Altair, Ezio, and Connor’s Outfits in Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag

Want to deck out Edward Kenway in the iconic robes of his Assassin predecessors? You’re in the right place! In Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, unlocking the outfits of Altair, Ezio, and Connor is a cool way to pay homage to the history of the Brotherhood. The key to getting them is all about connecting with the Assassin’s Creed universe through your Ubisoft account. Specifically, to get the Altair, Ezio, and Connor outfits in Black Flag, you need to have played previous Assassin’s Creed titles on the same Ubisoft account:

• Altair’s Outfit: Play one previous Assassin’s Creed title on your Ubisoft account. This includes Assassin’s Creed II and all subsequent main entries before Black Flag.
• Ezio’s Outfit: Play two previous Assassin’s Creed titles on your Ubisoft account. Again, these must be games released before Black Flag (ACII, Brotherhood, Revelations, ACIII).
• Connor’s Outfit: Play three previous Assassin’s Creed titles on your Ubisoft account. Any three games before AC4 will work (ACII, Brotherhood, Revelations, ACIII).

It’s important to note that the original Assassin’s Creed doesn’t count toward unlocking outfits in Black Flag. Think of it as Assassin’s Creed II being the starting point for unlocking these Legacy Outfits!

FAQ: Deep Dive into Legacy Outfits in Black Flag

Here are some common questions and insightful answers that delve into the finer details of unlocking these iconic Assassin outfits:

How Do I Confirm if My Games Are Connected to My Ubisoft Account?

To be absolutely certain, log into your Ubisoft account on the Ubisoft website. Navigate to your account settings and look for a section that lists your connected games. This should display all the Assassin’s Creed titles associated with your account. If any titles are missing, make sure you’ve registered them correctly using their respective activation keys.

Do I Need to Complete the Previous Assassin’s Creed Games to Unlock the Outfits?

No, you don’t! Simply owning and launching the games on the same Ubisoft account is sufficient. You don’t need to achieve any specific progress or complete the storylines to unlock the outfits in Black Flag. Once your Ubisoft account recognizes that you’ve played the required number of titles, the outfits will automatically become available in Black Flag.

Where Do I Find the Outfits Once They’re Unlocked?

Once unlocked, you can equip these outfits in the hideout dressing room. Go to the Captain’s Cabin in your ship, or your hideout, and access the wardrobe menu. Navigate through the available outfits, and you should find Altair’s, Ezio’s, and Connor’s robes listed among the options.

Can I Unlock These Outfits on All Platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox)?

The unlock process is tied to your Ubisoft account, so the platform on which you played the previous Assassin’s Creed games doesn’t matter, as long as they were registered to the same account that you’re using for Black Flag. Therefore, if you played Assassin’s Creed II on PlayStation and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood on PC, as long as both were linked to the same Ubisoft account, you will still unlock Ezio’s outfit on the Black Flag version linked to that Ubisoft account.

What About “Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry”? Does It Count as a “Previous” Title?

No, Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry is an expansion to Black Flag, not a previous title. Therefore, it does not contribute to unlocking the Legacy Outfits.

Are There Any Other Ways to Get Altair’s Outfit in Black Flag?

Aside from playing a previous Assassin’s Creed title, there’s also the Old Altair Robes. These are unlocked once you complete Sequence 08 with 100% synchronization. This offers a completely separate way to wear Altair’s garb.

Can I Customize the Legacy Outfits Like Other Outfits in Black Flag?

To some extent, yes. While you can’t alter the core design of the Legacy Outfits, you can typically apply dyes to them, customizing their color palette to your preference. However, you can’t add additional armor pieces or modify their base attributes like you might with other outfits in the game.

Does Unlocking These Outfits Grant Any Special Abilities or Bonuses?

No, these outfits are purely cosmetic. They don’t provide any in-game advantages like increased health, improved stealth, or enhanced combat abilities. Their primary purpose is to let you express your appreciation for the history of the Assassin’s Creed series and personalize Edward Kenway’s appearance.

What Is the Best Looking Outfit in AC Black Flag?

This is a subjective question, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder! However, Captain Morgan’s Redingote is often cited as one of the best-looking outfits in Black Flag. It evokes a classic pirate captain aesthetic.

What Is Connor Kenway’s Real Name?

Connor Kenway was born as Ratonhnhaké:ton in 1756.

Can You Recruit Legendary Ships Black Flag?

No, you cannot recruit the Legendary Ships. You can defeat them for resources and bragging rights, but they cannot be added to your fleet.

What Happens When You Get All the Animus Fragments in Black Flag?

Collecting all the Animus Fragments unlocks the ‘Deceased Crew Cheat’, which is available for you.

What Do You Get for Completing All Assassin Contracts in Black Flag?

Completing all Assassin Contracts rewards you with the Pistol Swords.

Was Altair the First Assassin?

While Altair is a pivotal character in the Assassin’s Creed lore, he wasn’t the first Assassin. However, his actions and teachings laid the foundation for the modern Assassin Brotherhood.

Is Ezio Good or Bad?

Ezio is generally considered a “good” character, but he’s also complex. While driven by noble intentions, his journey involved morally grey choices and questionable relationships, making him a multifaceted figure.

Black Flag’s Legacy Outfits add a fantastic layer of nostalgia and personalization to your pirate adventures. By connecting with the rich history of the Assassin’s Creed universe, you can truly embody the spirit of the Brotherhood, even on the high seas.
