Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Update 1.0.6 introduces the option to hide Edward’s Blow Pipe. This guide will show you how to do it and why you should.
Where to find the Hide Gear Toggle?
Once you complete the Overrun and Outnumbered main story quest, Edward will permanently have the Blow Pipe strapped to his back, which didn’t sit well with many of us.
After you update your game to Patch 1.0.6 or higher, you will be able to hide the Blow Pipe. To do it, follow these steps:
- Open the Inventory Menu
Open the Inventory Menu by pressing the I key on your keyboard or by pressing the Options/Menu Button on your controller.
- Hover over your equipped Outfit
The Outfit option is located at the top right corner of your inventory.
- Activate the Hide Gear Toggle
Press Tab if you’re on a keyboard, RT for an XBOX controller, or R2 for a PlayStation controller.
This will hide the Blow Pipe from Edward’s back, but you will still be able to use it as a tool during gameplay whenever you want.
How to Hide the Trinkets?
Just like with the Blow Pipe, you can hide the trinkets from showing on Edward’s lower back. These aren’t as invasive as the Blow Pipe, but some players might find them annoying.
On your inventory’s bottom row, you’ll find both your equipped trinkets. If you hover on each of them, you’ll also find the Hide Gear toggle. You’ll have to press it for each trinket.
As of the time of writing this guide, Hiding Trinkets does not happen until you reload your save file.
How to Customize Edward’s Gear?
If you happen to find an item that fits really well with your playstyle but you don’t like its look, this option will solve the issue by making said item look like another one you find more visually appealing. Here’s how to do it.
- Open the Inventory Menu.
Open the Inventory Menu by pressing the I key on your keyboard or by pressing the Options/Menu Button on your controller. - Hover over the Item you want to customize.
Hover over the Sword, Pistol, or Trinket you want to customize - Press the Customize Button.
Press the X key if you’re on a Keyboard, the Y button for an XBOX controller, or the Triangle button for a PlayStation Controller. - Select the appearance you want to use.
You’ll see a menu where you can see all the gear you have and can choose the appearance your equipped item will take.
Are there any Benefits or Drawbacks of Hiding and Customizing your Gear
In Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, you can customize an item’s appearance to match another one’s without losing its stats and attributes. This feature has been a part of most other modern Assassin’s Creed games.
Changing the appearance of your gear is known as “transmog” among the gaming communities, and this is a purely 100% cosmetic feature. It will have no effect on your gameplay. They have the sole purpose of making you feel cooler while plundering the Caribbean and stopping the evil Templars.
In Black Flag Resynced, you can customize the look of Swords, Pistols and Trinkets. Collecting those is a journey, and if you need some additional help, we have full catalogs of all items’ locations.
