Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced patch makes the very important change of letting you hide Edward’s blowpipe
Developed over time first seen 3 months ago
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has received update 1.0.6, headlined by a long-requested 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, with some having already found manual 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 sold over 3.5 million copies in its first fortnight, exceeding publisher Ubisoft's expectations, and has recently ranked among the 20 most-played titles on Xbox.
