The Jackdaw is your means of dominating the seas in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, as your trusty ship serves as both a means of transport and a battle station.
That said, it’s seen some hefty upgrades this time around, with a host of secondary fire options added with Resynced. However, they’re not so easy to obtain, and you might have some locked for quite a while, unless you know where to look.
They’re well worth the effort to find, too, as they take naval combat to the next level. With that in mind, here’s every new secondary fire for Jackdaw, as well as how to unlock them, in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
Every Secondary Fire Mode For The Jackdaw In Black Flag Resynced
There are four new Secondary Fire Modes in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and they each have their own unique use cases.
The four new Secondary Fire Modes are:
- Broadsides: Heated Shots
- Mortars: Deadman’s Cohort
- Chain Shots: Double Shot
- Fire Barrels: Shrapnel Barrels
On top of those, the Swivel Gun has been updated to the AC Rogue style of manual aiming, and there are three new Naval Officers that each offer the Jackdaw a host of new upgrades, both offensively and defensively. It’s all well and good knowing what they are, but the real trick is knowing how to unlock them—find out below.
