Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag PC Cheats

Cheats

Easy Boarding

If you are going up against big ships (like frigates), position your ship near your target and then swim to the ship to take the crew out in close quarters combat. When you've done that, swim back to the Jackdaw and then hit each ship with one broadside. You immediately win the boarding sequence that follows, without having to go into heavy fighting.

Infinite Money (Exploit)

In Sequence 2: Memory 3, you'll encounter an optional objective requiring you to pickpocket all Templars. There are three of them in the area, which follows shortly after a checkpoint. You can pick their pockets, then chose the option to "Reload Last Checkpoint." When you do, you'll find that the money you pocketed remains in your possession. You can repeat the process as often as you like before continuing the mission, and you can also come back to the mission later in the game if you wish. It's possible to earn 35,000R after around 7 minutes of effort. This exploit may soon be patched, so you'll want to play using the game's initial version if that proves to be the case.

Easter Eggs

Blume Easter Egg (Watch_Dogs)

When you can hack into the Animus machines, head for the second floor of the building. One offers a page called "Security System Presentation." In that presentation, you learn about how a company called Blume will be working closely with Abstergo in the future, and there are references to ctOS security and even a picture of The Bunker. At the end of the presentation, you will hear that "The future is in Blume." This is all an Easter egg for Watch_Dogs, another Ubisoft action game that was in development around the same time.

The IT Crowd

If you go to the map near the entrance to the modern-day Abstergo offices, you can overhear two co-workers talking about Chicago. If you wait a minute or two, they will begin talking about John from IT. The male worker comments that whenever he requests help, John replies smugly with "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" That appears to be a reference to the popular British comedy, "The IT Crowd."
