Pirate games and energy drinks are not a pairing anyone had on their bingo card, but here we are. Red Bull has partnered with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on a crossover that hands players a free sail cosmetic, and the barrier to entry is genuinely low. You just need to answer a short quiz on the Red Bull website, and the reward lands in your inbox.
The Wings of the Tempest sail and how to get it
The free item in question is called the Wings of the Tempest sail. It wraps your ship in Red Bull's signature blue and silver color scheme, complete with the charging bull logo plastered across the canvas. Whether that sounds like peak pirate fashion or a corporate nightmare is a matter of taste, but free is free.
To unlock it, head to the Red Bull website and complete their Assassin's Creed quiz. You'll need to create a Red Bull account first, after which they email you a code tied to your quiz completion. The quiz itself runs to 6 questions and takes about a minute to finish. Here's the key part: you only need to get 1 out of 6 correct to qualify. If you've played even a handful of Assassin's Creed Mirage or any other entry in the franchise, the questions won't give you any trouble at all.
There's also a Red Bull trinket floating around
The Wings of the Tempest sail is not the only Red Bull-branded item in the game. A trinket called Stormrunner was previously the quiz reward, and it boosts healing received from food, drink, and remedies. With the sail now taking its place as the quiz prize, Stormrunner has been moved into the world as a discoverable item.
Red Bull has published its own guide pointing players to the trinket's location at coordinates 614, 767. So if you missed it during the quiz promotion window, you can still pick it up in-game without jumping through any hoops.
Why this collab actually makes sense
On the surface, Red Bull and a pirate game sounds absurd. Spend five seconds thinking about it, though, and the pairing clicks. Red Bull has been running gaming collaborations for years, and Black Flag Resynced's sea-faring, high-energy action fits the brand's identity better than most. The quiz mechanic also keeps things interactive without requiring any purchase, which puts this firmly in the category of genuinely player-friendly promotions.
The promotion is live now, so there's no reason to sit on this one. If you want to dig deeper into the game while you're at it, the Assassin's Creed Mirage guide collection covers the broader franchise, and the gaming guides hub has you covered for everything else you might need across your current rotation.
