Polygon has published a guide to the best mods for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the remastered version of the 2013 pirate adventure. The article rounds up user-made modifications that address common complaints about the game, from technical performance issues to gameplay pacing and visual style, and explains how to install them since none are currently supported by the Vortex mod manager.

Mods must be downloaded manually, typically from Nexus Mods, and extracted into the game's install folder. Highlights include ACBlackFlagFix for fixing FPS drops and adjusting camera settings, a Cheats mod offering god mode and unlimited resources, the more advanced Encrypteds Resynced Ultimate Rewrite (which requires Cheat Engine), and Orange Begone, which removes the game's heavy orange colour tint using the ReShade tool.
