In Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, swords remain one of Edward Kenway’s most important combat tools, especially during boarding fights, fort assaults, plantation raids, and story missions. While pistols and stealth tools are useful, most close-range encounters eventually come down to swordplay. Like the original Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, swords are generally obtained through shops, story progression, special rewards, or bonus content rather than being found only as traditional open-world collectibles.

How Sword Locations Work
Most swords in Black Flag Resynced can be acquired from General Stores found in major settlements such as Nassau, Kingston, Havana, and other populated areas. Once purchased, they can usually be equipped from Edward’s weapon menu, the Jackdaw’s captain cabin, or a weapon rack depending on the version and interface. Some swords may also be tied to special unlocks, progression rewards, or legacy bonus content.

Best Places to Buy Swords
The easiest way to collect swords is to visit a General Store in a major town. Nassau is usually one of the most convenient early-game locations because players return there often during the story. Havana and Kingston also have stores where Edward can buy weapons and equipment. If a sword does not appear immediately, continue progressing through the story, earning more reales, and checking shops after new sequences unlock.
Which Sword Should You Buy First?
For early-game players, buying a simple upgrade like the British Cutlasses or French Court Swords is usually enough. These weapons improve Edward’s damage and speed without requiring too much money. Players should avoid spending all their reales on weapons too early, as ship upgrades for the Jackdaw are often more important for naval progression.
Best Late-Game Swords
For late-game combat, Toledo Swords and Pistol Swords are among the most desirable options. Toledo Swords are strong standard weapons, while Pistol Swords are popular because of their unique execution style. However, the Pistol Swords may not be available in every version by default, as they are sometimes tied to special unlocks or bonus systems.
Tips for Collecting All Swords
Players should regularly check shops after completing story sequences, saving enough money for expensive weapon upgrades. It is also worth checking the captain’s cabin or weapon rack if a purchased sword does not appear immediately in the equipment menu. If you are playing a version with bonus content, check Ubisoft Connect or any available rewards menu to see whether special swords can be claimed.
