The most immediately visible change lets Edward Kenway hide his blowpipe via the inventory screen, a small but meaningful quality-of-life addition for anyone who prefers a cleaner look on their assassin's back. Beyond cosmetics, the autosave system has been expanded from five slots to ten, giving players a much wider safety net when a mission goes sideways or a game-breaking bug forces a reload. A tutorial for throwing money to distract guards — a core stealth mechanic that somehow shipped without any in-game explanation — is now finally active, teaching players how to use coin as a tactical tool rather than just a progression currency.
Black Flag's 1.0.6 Fixes the Kraken Wheel Pricing
Before diving into the update, confirm you are running the PC version of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, as this patch is platform-specific. Players who have encountered the 30 FPS cutscene lock on PC when switching graphics settings from low to custom should see that issue resolved without further action. The fix applies automatically once the patch is installed.
Black Flag Resynced 1.0.6 Adds New Features
Launch the game on PC and allow the 1.0.6 update to download and install. Open the inventory menu to find the new blowpipe visibility toggle; switch it off to hide the weapon from Edward's model during gameplay. The change takes effect instantly without requiring a restart.
To test the expanded autosave system, simply play normally — the game now retains the ten most recent automatic checkpoints instead of five. For the money-throwing tutorial, progress through the early-game sequence where the mechanic is introduced; a prompt will now appear explaining how to equip and toss coins to create distractions. The hood-pull animation during a leap of faith triggers automatically when performing the dive, adding a cinematic flourish to the iconic maneuver.
Black Flag’s Hidden Blowpipe Trick
- Use the blowpipe toggle strategically: hide it during exploration and social stealth segments for a cleaner silhouette, but remember to re-enable it before combat-heavy missions where you rely on sleep darts or berserk darts for crowd control.
- The extra autosave slots are most valuable during multi-stage naval missions or fortress assaults; if a boarding sequence bugs out — a known issue this patch addresses — you can now roll back further without losing significant progress.
- The money-throwing tutorial finally makes a mechanic viable that many players likely ignored at launch. Coins are plentiful in the Caribbean, and tossing a handful to lure a guard away from a patrol route is often faster and quieter than a sleep dart. Keep a reserve of at least 200 Reales for consistent use.
- The Kraken wheel pricing fix means the premium ship cosmetic now displays its correct cost in the shop; if you held off purchasing it because the price seemed inflated, check the store again after updating.
Beyond the headline updates, the patch notes list an assortment of precise bug fixes that cut into the game’s rough spots. Edward now keeps his face aimed at enemies during sea skirmishes; convoy leaders no longer unceremoniously launch into the air when their wanted level shifts, and when you fire a pistol, foes bleed from the proper layer of flesh. A fault that permitted players to recruit dancers while perched on a crate is now voided, and carrying food no longer disappears after a trip to the Jackdaw via fast‑travel. Collectively these tweaks refine the experience in ways the raw numbers alone can’t convey, turning a patch that might feel like a quick refinish into one that genuinely feels polished.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced keeps getting better, and version 1.0.6 is one of the biggest quality‑of‑life updates yet. Adding a blowpipe toggle and stretching
