Where to Find Captain Drake Outfit Swords and Flintlocks AC Black Flag Resynced
This guide walks you through everything you need to find and equip the Captain Drake set in Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced. You’ll get a clear route, exact in‑game tactics, loadout recommendations, troubleshooting steps if chests don’t appear, and a breakdown of how each piece changes gameplay. The goal is to get you from anchoring the Jackdaw to wearing the outfit and testing the weapons in under 20 minutes, with optional stealth and combat routes depending on your playstyle.
Why the Captain Drake set matters
The Captain Drake outfit is one of the rare collectible outfits on the map and carries modest stat bonuses that favor stealth and survivability. The Captain Drake swords and flintlocks are unique-appearance weapons with competitive base stats that make them useful for both early- and mid-game combat. Collecting the set is valuable for completionists, players chasing cosmetic variety, and anyone who wants a balanced stealth-combat kit without relying on purchased or crafted gear.
Preparing for Sacrifice Island
Before you sail, prepare the following:
Sync the nearest viewpoint to Sacrifice Island to reveal secrets and fast-travel points.
Upgrade your Jackdaw enough to reach the island safely and to escape if a naval threat appears.
Equip a fast-swim build and bring a torch for underwater tunnels.
Carry medicine and a few smoke bombs for stealthy extractions.
Have Eagle Vision ready to highlight interactive objects and buried dig spots.
These preparations reduce time spent fumbling and increase your chance of finding the chests on the first pass.
Getting to Sacrifice Island and initial approach
Anchor the Jackdaw on the leeward side of Sacrifice Island to avoid being pushed into reefs. Approach on foot from the small beach near the northern viewpoint. Climb to the viewpoint and sync it — this reveals secrets and often triggers the map icons for buried chests. From the viewpoint, scout the western cliffs and the camp below. The island’s layout funnels most patrols along the main paths; use the cliffside routes to bypass heavy guards.
Locating the Captain Drake swords
The Captain Drake swords are most commonly found in a cliffside cave below the northern viewpoint. Look for a narrow path that descends behind a line of scrub and palm trees; the entrance is subtle and often obscured by foliage. Enter the cave and check the wooden racks and corpses near the fire pit. The swords are placed on a rack or lying beside a corpse in a small alcove. If you don’t see them, scan the area with Eagle Vision and re-check the ledges — sometimes the spawn is slightly higher or lower depending on how the island loaded.
Tactical approach for swords Move silently along the cliff path and use the environment to avoid detection. If guards spot you, retreat to the viewpoint and resync; this often resets patrols without forcing a full island reload. If you prefer combat, clear the camp quickly with smoke bombs and a few well-placed pistol shots, then loot the cave.
Locating the Captain Drake flintlocks
The flintlocks are usually paired with the swords in nearby caves or spawn in a separate chest on the western cliffs. After grabbing the swords, sweep the adjacent caves and ledges. Check behind crates, under overhangs, and on corpses. If the flintlocks aren’t in the immediate cave, follow the cliffline south and inspect small alcoves and collapsed structures — the pistols often appear in these secondary locations.
Practical note If you find one weapon but not the other, don’t assume the set is incomplete — the game sometimes distributes set pieces across multiple nearby spawns. Fully clear the western cliff area before moving to the reef.
Finding the Captain Drake outfit (buried chest)
The Captain Drake outfit is in a buried chest on the eastern reef. Sail around to the reef and look for a sunken rock formation with a narrow underwater tunnel. Dive at the tunnel entrance and swim through; you’ll surface in a small inlet. If the chest is not visible on the surface, dig the shallow sand patch near the inlet — the outfit chest is often buried rather than sitting open. Use a torch to improve underwater visibility and watch for air pockets that let you surface without returning to the Jackdaw.
Step sequence to retrieve the outfit
Anchor the Jackdaw on the reef’s leeward side.
Dive at the sunken rock formation and swim through the tunnel.
Surface in the inlet and scan the shoreline for a shallow dig spot.
Dig the sand patch; if nothing appears, resync the nearest viewpoint and try again.
Fast route for speedrunners
For a fast run, approach Sacrifice Island from the north, sync the viewpoint, and drop straight down the western cliff path to the cave with the swords. Loot quickly, then sprint back to the Jackdaw and sail to the eastern reef. Dive the tunnel, dig the chest, and return to the Jackdaw. Use smoke bombs and sprinting to avoid combat. With practice and minimal combat, this route can be completed in under 15 minutes.
Stealth route for low-detection players
If you prefer stealth, use the following approach: cloak your approach with tall grass and ledges, take out isolated guards with silent takedowns, and avoid open fights. Use Eagle Vision to mark chests and dig spots. The outfit chest is easiest to retrieve after you’ve cleared the island’s main camps; stealth reduces the chance of being overwhelmed while you search underwater tunnels.
Combat route for aggressive players
If you like to fight, clear the island methodically. Use grenades and pistols to thin out groups, then loot caves and ledges. The Captain Drake swords are excellent for crowd control once equipped; switch to them mid-raid to finish off remaining enemies. After clearing the island, sail to the reef and retrieve the outfit without worrying about stealth.
Gear synergy and loadout recommendations
The Captain Drake swords pair well with a mid‑range pistol loadout. Use the flintlocks for single-target takedowns and switch to the swords for crowd control. The outfit’s stealth and defense bonuses make it ideal for players who alternate between infiltration and open combat.
Recommended loadout
Primary melee: Captain Drake swords (once obtained)
Secondary ranged: Captain Drake flintlocks or a high-damage pistol
Tools: smoke bombs, throwing knives, and a torch for underwater tunnels
Ship upgrades: moderate speed and hull strength to escape or return quickly
How the set affects gameplay
Wearing the Captain Drake outfit improves stealth detection thresholds and reduces damage taken in melee exchanges. The swords have slightly higher base damage and reach than common blades, making them effective in tight spaces. Flintlocks deliver strong single-shot damage and are useful for finishing off high-value targets from a distance. Overall, the set is balanced and supports a hybrid playstyle.
Troubleshooting: chest not appearing
If the outfit chest or weapons don’t appear:
Resync the nearest viewpoint and re-scan the island.
Leave the island and sail away for a short period, then return; this forces a reload and can fix spawn issues.
Ensure you’ve completed any nearby story beats or side activities that might gate the chest.
Clear all camps and warehouses on the island; some secrets only spawn after the area is fully scouted.
Quick checklist before you leave the island
Confirm you’ve looted the cave racks and corpses on the western cliffs.
Double-check the inlet dig spot on the eastern reef.
Sync the viewpoint again to mark the island as fully explored.
Store any duplicate or low-value loot to free inventory space for the Captain Drake set.
Comparison table of gear impact and best uses
| Item | Primary Benefit | Best Use Case | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Captain Drake Swords | Higher melee damage and reach | Close-quarters combat and crowd control | Cliffside cave below northern viewpoint |
| Captain Drake Flintlocks | Strong single-shot damage | Long-range takedowns and finishing blows | Nearby cave or corpse spawns on western cliffs |
| Captain Drake Outfit | Stealth and defense bonuses | Stealth missions and survivability | Buried chest in inlet reached via eastern reef tunnel |
Efficiency tips and time-savers
Use the viewpoint sync to reveal treasure icons and dig spots before you disembark.
Equip a fast-swim perk to reduce time spent underwater.
Use smoke bombs to escape if you trigger a large patrol while looting.
If you plan to farm the set for multiple characters or saves, clear the island fully and then reload the area to speed up subsequent runs.
Cosmetic and roleplay notes
The Captain Drake outfit has a distinctive silhouette that pairs well with classic pirate cosmetics. If you’re roleplaying Edward Kenway as a treasure hunter, the set fits thematically and looks great on the Jackdaw’s captain’s quarters portrait. The swords and flintlocks have unique textures that stand out in cutscenes and combat.
Endgame and collection value
For completionists, the Captain Drake set is a must-have because it’s one of the named outfits tied to a specific island chest. It also unlocks a small amount of completion progress toward the outfits collection. If you’re chasing achievements or cosmetic milestones, prioritize Sacrifice Island early in your exploration route.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Captain Drake set be missed permanently? No. The set is tied to Sacrifice Island and can be revisited; if you miss it, return to the island, resync the viewpoint, and search the caves and reef again.
Do the weapons scale with player level? Weapons have fixed base stats but benefit from your character’s attribute progression; they remain useful across a wide level range.
Is the outfit purely cosmetic? The outfit is cosmetic but includes modest stat bonuses that affect stealth and defense.
What if the chest at coordinates 23,552 doesn’t appear? Resync the viewpoint, clear nearby activities, leave the area and return, and ensure you’ve completed any story beats that might gate the spawn.
Are there alternative spawn locations for the weapons? Yes. The swords and flintlocks can appear in multiple nearby caves and on corpses; sweep the western cliffs thoroughly.
Final notes and recommended route summary
For the fastest, most reliable run: sync the northern viewpoint, descend the western cliff path to the cave with the swords and flintlocks, loot quickly, return to the Jackdaw, sail to the eastern reef, dive the sunken tunnel, surface in the inlet, dig the shallow sand patch, and return to the Jackdaw. Use stealth to avoid unnecessary fights, and resync the viewpoint if anything fails to spawn.
