A list of all 31 Swords in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. We will show you a visual preview, their stats, perks, how to get each one, and best matches with other item slots.
Swords are your main source of damage in Black Flag Resynced. They’re both offensive and defensive weapons that can take out any enemy in the game as long as you are in close range.
Swords will have three or four features that will differentiate them. These are the weapon’s Heavy Strike ability, Damage, Maximum Takedowns, and a Perk if it’s of Legendary quality. If you are just starting out your career as a pirate, our beginner-friendly guide to All Weapon Types, Tools, and Abilities provides a detailed explanation of each type and where or how it can be most useful in combat.
It’s important to point out that only Legendary Swords have perks. Perks are unique effects that enhance a specific playstyle. I suggest that you read all of them and decide which one fits you.
In the table below, you will see a full list of all available swords in the game that you can obtain through gameplay. Below the table, we have detailed segments for each sword with high-quality preview, stats list, instructions how to get it, and if there are matching outfits or pistols to go with it.
