The Golden Flintlock Pistols, also known as Edward's Pistols,[1] were the personal firearms of the pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway.
History[edit | edit source]
In the early 18th century, the Dutch merchant and smuggler Milo van der Graaff rewarded Edward with these pistols after he completed all of Milo's naval contracts in the West Indies.[2] Thanks to their extraordinary precision, they quickly became Edward's favorite set of pistols, and he later brought them along on his travels to Southeast Asia, regularly making use of the weapons.[3]
Decades later, during the Seven Years' War, the pistols somehow passed into the hands of the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Golden Flintlock Pistols are the most powerful pistols available to the player in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, unlocked by completing all naval contracts. The only character who is able to completely nullify the pistols' one-hit kill potential is El Tiburón due to his heavy armor.
Accordingly, the pistols were canonized as the personal firearms of Black Flag's main protagonist, Edward Kenway, in the following installment, Assassin's Creed: Rogue. There, they are referred to as "Edward's Pistols" and can be unlocked through Uplay for 30 points. The pistols between the two games are identical in appearance but are weaker in Rogue, having average damage, stun, and range compared to other firearms in the game.
