Things that are missing or need clarification[edit source]
This thread on the Ubisoft forums talks about a Sword of Eden pre-order weapon which is exclusive in the Ubishop. I didn't find it so I think it's a fake.FakeThe Season Pass is not officially announced yet, so things can still change. Remove it, if that's against the policy.Dealt withThere will probably another Uplay passport for the console versions that unlocks something for the multiplayer mode.The passport was removed.The pre-order weapon names vary a lot in the descriptions of the retailers and images, so they will most likely differ when finally seen ingame.Dealt withThe missions contain a different number of memories, it's not known how many or how they are named at this point.The three additional islands are side activities only that aren't even tracked by the DNA synchronization. The Aveline DLC consists of three different memories on the same map.There is an unnamed singleplayer outfit that is included in the Deluxe Edition, the multiplayer costume for the Mercenary doesn't have a name either. I don't know for which Animi avatar the Treasure Hunter costume is.This description is false, apparently Ubisoft can't count. There are three singleplayer costume and three multiplayer costumes (plus the figurine/uplay/Initiates/multiplayer event ones)The 10U Uplay reward is still missing but it's obviously another theme/wallpaper.Dealt withThe Kenway and Blackbeard figurine DLCs are a bit foggy. The don't seem to be included in the Digital Deluxe or Black Chest edition.None of this ULC is part of these editions.Other unlocks:

Aveline's Memories[edit source]
Unless someone has a source that says otherwise, everything online right now says that Aveline's memories are PS exclusives, and always will be. As such, I've removed the PC tag from it. If there is an official source that I've somehow missed however, it should be cited and replaced. However, as I said, every source I find online says that Ubisoft intends to keep the Sony exclusives exclusive to Sony. LordSchmee (talk) 12:45, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
- My source: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/10/30/assassins-creed-4-playstation-dlc-not-coming-to-xbox Although there's a bajillion sites that all say the same thing, so take your pick with google. Someone keeps adding PC back into the page and it's incredibly annoying. LordSchmee (talk) 12:52, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Because someone actually has the PC version and can have a look inside the folders. http://i.imgur.com/AKaUhoB.png --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 12:54, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Last I checked, we based new information on here off of the official sources, not hackers and pirates. And just because there's a remnant DLC file in the folder, it doesn't mean that it'll ever be released for the PC.
- In any case, even if it WERE to be released for the PC, it currently isn't. So the DLC is still EXCLUSIVE to the PS3 and PS4. That may change in the future (although given that Ubisoft has confirmed that it won't be, that's unlikely), but AS OF RIGHT NOW IT IS AN EXCLUSIVE. LordSchmee (talk) 12:58, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
- You guys are joking right? I played it on PC as well. You want proof?

- "Matter has been concluded" despite Ubisoft quite literally selling the bloody DLC on PC, on their own store. When presented with proof he calls it a "hissy fit". Really now? Sidspyker (talk) 17:15, November 25, 2013 (UTC)

Aveline Figurehead[edit source]
Does anyone know if the Aveline Figurehead comes with the Aveline missions on the standard versions of the game or must be downloaded seprately? I am trying to figure out how to get it. I know it exists, but I don't know how it is obtained. I plan on adding this to the article. 205.232.106.254 18:53, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
- It comess with the missions, and gets unlocked for the main story once Aveline missions are completed. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 19:12, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Are you sure? I never heard of anything being unlocked by the aveline missions. Toolen (talk) 04:55, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Positive. My Jackdaw apperance inventory also agrees. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 05:04, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
- My Jackdaw appearance inventory disagrees. It's nowhere in sight, and you know I've completed the Aveline missions. Stormbeast ♉ The Helpful Place 05:10, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Well Iunno what it is with you buggers.--Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 05:21, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
- It probably just hasn't been officially released yet. Can never trust you with that stuff, Kain. Stormbeast ♉ The Helpful Place 05:23, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
- You accusin' me of pirateerin'? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 05:37, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Maybe it's just different versions? I can see the figurine head as individual download on the SEN/PSN store but I also heard it unlocks for the PC version just fine. --ShardofTruth (talk) 20:40, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
- So is the aveline pack different in different regions? That doesn't make much sense. Why make it an awared in one region and release it seperately in another? Or is that it only appears as an award in the gold edition, or something? Which is it? (Toolen (talk) 06:21, November 28, 2013 (UTC))
- Sorry, it seems that the separate PSN download is a PSN+ reward or something, the figurehead should totally unlock on both platforms as soon as the DLC is completed. I'm not sure what the problem is, maybe you should contact the support of Ubisoft or open a thread on the official forums. --ShardofTruth (talk) 18:31, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
- Maybe we're talking about different things here. Do you play on the PC or the PS3/PS4? I heard from several friends now that at least in the PC version (the Digital Deluxe Edition that is, because the Aveline DLC can't be unlocked with any other version) the figurehead unlocks with the DLC itself, you don't need to complete it, it's there from the start.
- If you indead can play the Aveline DLC than you should have the figurehead because they both unlock at the same time. Maybe, because Sony made the figurehead a separate thing for Playstation Plus users for two months, it could be different for the PS3/PS4 versions, but I really don't know that. What you should do is contact the Ubisoft support or ask some players on the official forums. I don't think there are any differences between the US and non-US DLCs of ACIV, because this was never the case before. --ShardofTruth (talk) 22:56, December 3, 2013 (UTC)
Do you have the standard version for PS3? I don't have the Gold Edition, and I've been looking for a way to get it. Toolen (talk) 23:08, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
Anyone with the Gold edition or PC version of the game shouldn't bother trying to answer this question. It comes with the missions on those versions. I need to know if it comes with the Aveline missions on the standard PS3 version's Aveline missions. Can someone either message me or answer the question here. I need to know so I can put it in this article and the Aveline DLC article. Toolen (talk) 15:32, January 10, 2014 (UTC)
- I will be replaying AC4 and completing the Aveline missions once I get a PS4. I will double check for you then whenever or even if I get the figurehead at all. Slate Vesper (talk) 01:27, January 11, 2014 (UTC)
I just checked with Ubisoft support. They say it is included with the missions, or at least it is in North America. Don't know about elsewhere. (Toolen (talk) 17:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC))
Initiates Achievement[edit source]
Should the initiates achievement unlocked by the Ratonhnhaké:ton figure be included here. I don't recall the figure unlocking anything for the game itself. I used the code, and it didn't really do anything except to unlock something for initiates as far as I can tell. (Toolen (talk) 17:31, April 9, 2014 (UTC))
