Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launches on July 9, and the full trophy and achievement list is already out in the open. There are 49 in total, spread across naval combat, exploration, tavern games, and some genuinely weird challenges that will keep completionists busy long after the main story wraps. Some carry over from the original Black Flag, but there are new ones here that reflect the Resynced additions. Here's every trophy and achievement you need, plus what to prioritize.
How many trophies are in AC Black Flag Resynced?
The game ships with 49 trophies and achievements across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The Steam achievement list has been made public ahead of launch, and while minor platform-specific differences are possible on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the list is expected to be consistent across all versions.
Of those 49, a handful are hidden trophies with names but no descriptions yet. Those descriptions should unlock once the game releases on July 9.

What are the hidden trophies in AC Black Flag Resynced?
Seven trophies are currently hidden, meaning only their names are visible before launch. Full descriptions will appear once the game goes live on July 9.
The names alone suggest story-related unlocks. Hungover and Blow the Man Down both have obvious nautical or pirate-life flavour, while In A World Without Gold sounds like it could tie to a specific story beat or economic challenge. These are worth saving as a mystery until launch.
Which trophies are the hardest to get?
After looking at the full list, a few stand out as the ones most likely to cause problems.
Devil Of The Caribbean requires defeating every legendary ship in the game. These are multi-phase naval encounters that punish under-prepared players hard. Expect this one to be the last trophy most completionists unlock.
Gun-kata has a tight time window. Four pistol kills in five seconds requires setup, not just reflexes. Crowded patrol areas in cities are your best bet.
Overdesign IV is awkward to trigger on purpose. You need a berserk enemy caught inside a smoke bomb, then kick them off a ship. The conditions have to align naturally during a ship boarding, so do not try to force this one in a land encounter.
Ed the Diver at 1000m total underwater swimming is a pure accumulation trophy. It will come naturally for players who explore underwater shipwrecks thoroughly, but if you skip diving sections, you may need to grind it out late.

How does the Resynced trophy list compare to the original?
The original Black Flag had its own trophy set on PS4 and Xbox One. The Resynced list keeps several returning challenges but adds new ones that reflect the additions in this version, including the new Officers system referenced in All Hands On Deck. For players who platinumed the original, do not assume you know exactly what to expect. The Resynced list has been updated to match the new content.
For a full breakdown of what else is new in this release, the new features guide for Black Flag Resynced covers every confirmed change coming on July 9, including the dual-wield combat system and the three new Officers.
Tips for efficient trophy hunting
- Start Governor and Dilettante early. Both require sustained investment in the Great Inagua base and will not finish themselves through normal play.
- Keep the rope dart equipped regularly. The Hangman requires 10 hanging kills, and the rope dart is easy to forget when pistols and swords feel more natural.
- Do not sell every animal you hunt. Some hunting trophies require specific interactions, not just kills.
- Cartographer will take the full game to complete naturally. Mark locations as you sail rather than trying to mop up at the end.
- Business And Pleasure at 50,000 Reales sounds like a lot early on, but fleet missions and convoy raiding accelerate income significantly.

Black Flag Resynced sits among the most anticipated action games of the year, and the trophy list alone suggests Ubisoft has packed in serious replay value for completionists.
