Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced introduces three new recruitable officers for the Jackdaw. Unlike the original game's crew mechanics, each officer in Resynced is a named character with their own questline. Players earn each officer by completing that questline and building sufficient trust, rather than purchasing upgrades.
Officers
Officer | Notable Ability | Recruitment Method |
|---|---|---|
Lucy Baldwin | Not specified beyond her officer role | Complete Lucy's dedicated questline and build her trust |
Tobias "Deadman" Smith | A devastating double shot from broadside weapons | Complete Tobias's dedicated questline and build his trust |
The Padre | Not specified beyond his officer role | Complete The Padre's dedicated questline and build his trust |
Trust and Recruitment
Each officer requires the player to complete a dedicated questline before they can join the Jackdaw. The questlines are built around the concept of earning trust: the officer needs to see that Edward is worth sailing with. The specific tasks and story beats within each questline had not been detailed ahead of the game's release, but the recruitment structure is confirmed to apply to all three.
Once recruited, each officer brings something distinct to the ship. Tobias "Deadman" Smith's double broadside shot is confirmed as a particularly powerful naval ability. The full range of passive and active effects from Lucy Baldwin and The Padre were not detailed before launch.
