Best Weapons in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced

It’s interesting because the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced offer relatively similar damage output. Yet, you’ll find they have unique perks that set them apart from one another. Take Ezio’s Swords, for example, which help you perform perfect parries on attacks that, without the sword, would be unstoppable.

Some weapons, like the Le Bourgeoys Blades, serve a multi-purpose role as a melee sword and a ranged pistol, providing you with unlimited ammo and three shots at a time. Below are all the interesting options you’ll enjoy exploiting their exciting perks and uniqueness. 

10. Dual Cleavers

For a melee weapon, the Dual Cleavers can do some pretty decent damage on close-up enemies. Precisely, 38 points drained with every slash. And this can serve you very well, especially with its additional perk that increases damage output when your health is running low.

It drives a hard bargain, of course. But you can always find a workaround. For instance, you can get the Templar Cross trinket, which will reduce the damage you take from enemies close to you.

9. Gargoyle’s Breath

The swords are generally the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced. But every once in a while, it looks and feels badass to pull out your pistol and shoot enemies from a distance. Mind you, the pistols are good enough to headshot enemies. Or you might combine them with sword slashes, entering into a more powerful combo that staggers enemies and gets them off-guard.

Right, for starters, I’d recommend the Gargoyle’s Breath. The damage, I’ll admit, is not so good, totaling 20 points. Yet, it’s decent enough to get enemies off your back. A 1.5 speed it takes to pull it out is also not too bad and gets the job done.

8. Dragon’s Fang Swords

Dragon’s Fang Swords

If you don’t want to wield a dual sword, you can try out the Dragon’s Fang Swords. The damage output is the same as the Dual Cleavers, at 38 points. However, the maximum takedowns you can pull off with this weapon are twice as many. And sure, takedowns come near the end of a fight, when the enemy is running low on health. But it still looks fatally cool.

Now, note that you will have to be aggressive with the Dragon’s Fang Swords since its attack power will go up the more enemies you deplete of their health.

7. Golden Flintlock Pistols

I have another pistol alternative for you called the Golden Flintlock Pistols. These are the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced that you won’t go wrong with. The damage output is way more substantial, capping off at 28 points. In fact, you won’t get another pistol that inflicts damage that’s higher than this.

But the speed it takes to pull the gun out is also faster at 1.2 seconds. With speed and attack power covered, you can at least rely on it when the situation calls for a pistol.

6. Order of Gold

In Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, there are pistols, swords, with the types of swords including heavier weight rapiers and cutlass and swords that double up as pistols. Order of Gold is one of the best weapons that is a sword and a pistol. 

It’s pretty cool because you can attack enemies using the standard sword slashes. However, it also lets you shoot a built-in shot. The trick here is that the shot won’t count toward used-up ammunition. Instead, Order of Gold essentially has unlimited shots. That’s in addition to already decent stats of 38 damage and three maximum takedowns.

5. Le Bourgeoys Blades

Meanwhile, the pistol-sword, Le Bourgeoys Blades, competes favorably with just the same 38 damage points. However, its maximum takedowns are only two. But before you write it off the list of considerations for the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, you might want to factor in the additional shots it can fire at a time.

Most pistol-swords in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced can fire two pistol shots at a time. However, the Le Bourgeoys Blades pistol-sword dials up to three, which can help you out a great deal against groups of enemies.

4. Persian Scimitars

Most Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced players will tell you that the Persian Scimitars cutclasses is unmatched by most swords and pistols. The 38 damage and four maximum takedowns speak for themselves. But that’s not even the selling point.

For those of you who struggle to nail the perfect parry, your four takedowns will go through, regardless of whether a Brute type of enemy blocks them or not.

3. Ezio’s Swords

It gets more exciting when you come to Ezio’s Swords. The damage output is considerably lower at only 25 points, while the maximum takedowns are reduced to three. However, it comes with a perk that’s hard to resist.

Ezio’s Swords will allow players struggling with perfect parries to pull it off, as long as they can watch out for a red glow. Every attack that is preceded by this glow will, thus, be counterable, including the ones that are typically unstoppable, as long as you’re wielding Ezio’s Swords.

2. Matched Golden Swords

You may find an easier time fighting enemies one-on-one than in larger groups, mostly because of the game design and camera angles, which make it a little awkward to keep up with positioning. For the Matched Golden Swords, though, they help take away this issue.

Granted, the damage is also lower at 25 points. However, the maximum takedowns are four, and you can always unleash them back-to-back to create a punishing combo against groups of enemies, all while enjoying a larger sweeping attack range.

1. Naoe’s Shadowblade

As for Naoe’s Shadowblade, the maximum damage you can inflict on enemies remains at a 25-point low. However, the maximum takedowns are capped at a satisfying four types. And this is pretty cool because executing a perfect parry or dodge with this sword is also easier, making the entire fight more manageable. Thus, beginners may want to slot this sword among the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced
