Crafting & Equipment Upgrades
Jackdaw Upgrades
The game classifies Edward upgrades as weapons and outfits that can be purchased. Considering I was able to finish the game without ever touching the menu for this once, most of the things on offer seem highly cosmetic. Dig a little deeper however and there are an array of interesting weapons and outfits at your disposal to make sword and hand-to-hand combat much easier.
Below you’ll find a list of all the sword sets, guns and outfits available in the game along with a brief description on how you can go about obtaining each.
