Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is receiving update 1.0.6 later today on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, headlined by an option to hide protagonist Edward Kenway's Blowpipe weapon. Though a minor cosmetic tweak, it addresses a common complaint from players who found the Blowpipe clashed with certain outfits or clipped visibly through the character model, and some had already found workarounds before this official fix arrived.

To hide the weapon, players open the inventory screen, hover over their outfit and press R2/RT to toggle "hide Gear", with the option reversible at any time. The update also raises the number of autosave slots from five to ten and adds a tutorial explaining how to throw money in-game, alongside a range of unspecified bug fixes; download sizes range from 1.8GB on Steam to 15.2GB on Xbox. The patch follows strong commercial performance for the game, which has sold more than 3.5 million copies in its first fortnight and recently ranked among the 20 most-played titles on Xbox.

  • New patch lets players hide Edward's Blowpipe cosmetically
  • Autosave slots doubled from five to ten
  • Game has sold over 3.5 million copies in two weeks

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a refreshed version of the 2013 pirate-themed instalment in Ubisoft's long-running Assassin's Creed series, in which players control Edward Kenway, a privateer turned assassin in the 18th-century Caribbean. Since its recent release, the game has continued to receive regular software updates that adjust gameplay, fix technical issues and refine small details based on player feedback.

These updates, known as patches, are standard practice in modern video games and can range from major fixes to minor cosmetic tweaks. They are typically downloaded automatically and applied across the platforms the game is available on, including PC and current-generation consoles.
