## Key points

- Four pets are free to unlock.
- Four others require paid DLC.
- Pets are cosmetic, not gameplay features.

## Summary

The article explains how players can unlock and equip every pet currently available in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, outlining which are free and which require extra payment. It matters because pets are a cosmetic collection feature in the game, and the guide clarifies both the in-game steps and the additional costs tied to some of them.

- Players can equip one active pet at a time from Edward’s inventory, and pets appear on the Jackdaw’s deck when he takes the wheel or inside his cabin.
- Four pets can be obtained without extra cost: Soot the Cat from the “Cat Distribution System” event in Great Inagua at coordinates (819, 441); Albert the Monkey from the “Monkey Business” event in Havana at (225, 568); Dark Animus Familiar by activating “Eye in the Dark” and collecting 600 data fragments; and Shipmate Monkey by redeeming the code `ASC-BFR-PMK-000` on Ubisoft’s website.
- Four more pets are paid add-ons: Gold Tom Cat comes with the Master Assassin Naval Pack or the Deluxe Edition, while Ashes Cat, Sea Monkey and Warrior Monkey each require separate naval packs.
- The guide notes that pets are decorative only and do not affect gameplay, but players can also pet or feed certain other animals to help complete the “Friend To All” achievement.
