Ubisoft explains how to unlock every pet in Black Flag Resynced
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
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.
- Four pets are free to unlock.
- Four others require paid DLC.
- Pets are cosmetic, not gameplay features.

Ubisoft has released a big content update for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the reworked version of the 2013 pirate-themed game following captain Edward Kenway. As with many modern re-releases, it includes optional cosmetic add-ons alongside free content, one of which is a set of collectible pets that follow Edward around his ship, the Jackdaw.
The pets have no effect on gameplay and exist purely as decoration, but obtaining them varies: some are unlocked simply by playing through in-game events or entering a code, while others are tied to paid "naval packs" or special editions of the game. This distinction matters to players because it affects how much of the collection is achievable without spending extra money beyond the game's purchase price.
Ubisoft has published guidance clarifying exactly how each pet can be obtained, which has prompted wider discussion about free versus paid content in recently updated games.
