Captain Drake’s Swords and Outfit are both found in chests on Sacrifice Island, which you can reach early once you have the Jackdaw.
If you came here for Captain Drake’s Armor, the item you want is Captain Drake’s Outfit. It is paired with Captain Drake’s Swords, but the two rewards are in separate chests on Sacrifice Island, west of Havana, and you can grab them once free sailing opens with the Jackdaw.
Captain Drake gear location and coordinates
| Item | Location |
|---|---|
| Captain Drake’s Swords | Sacrifice Island chest at 15,550 |
| Captain Drake’s Outfit | Sacrifice Island chest at 23,552 |
The fast answer is simple: sail to Sacrifice Island, clear or bypass the guards, then loot both chest spots. The swords are at 15,550, while the outfit is at 23,552.
The word armor is player shorthand here. In the item naming used for the reward, the wearable piece is Captain Drake’s Outfit.
Do not leave after the first chest: the swords and outfit are separate Sacrifice Island loot spots, so collect 15,550 first and then continue to 23,552.
Safe sailing route to Sacrifice Island
From the map view at the manor, pan all the way west until you reach Sacrifice Island, west of Havana. Once the Jackdaw can free sail, the island itself is the target.
The main risk is the nearby fort. Its firing reach covers a large stretch of water, so approach from the north or take a lower line around the danger zone instead of sailing straight through its range.
When you land, expect guards around the route inland. Smoke bombs let you chain easy assassinations, and the pistol helps you finish guards quickly before climbing toward the synchronization area.
How to get both Captain Drake chests in Black Flag Resynced
This route starts with the Jackdaw approach, grabs the swords first, then crosses to the outfit chest before you leave Sacrifice Island.
STEP 1/11
Sail to Sacrifice Island
From the manor map view, go to the far western section until you reach Sacrifice Island.
STEP 2/11
Approach outside the fort range
Come in from the north or take a lower route around the island so the nearby fort’s long reach does not catch the Jackdaw.
STEP 3/11
Clear the landing guards
Use smoke bombs for quick assassinations and the pistol to handle the guards blocking the route inland.
STEP 4/11
Find the climb-up ledge
Run along the watery edge until you reach the climbable ledge that leads toward the synchronization area.
STEP 5/11
Cross to the synchronization spot
Jump into the water, swim across, climb up, and use the synchronization spot as your landmark.
STEP 6/11
Continue to the sword chest route
Run toward the back corner from the sync area and follow the hidden path toward the chest.
STEP 7/11
Open the sword chest
Loot the chest in the secret spot to get Captain Drake’s Swords, the rare rapiers at 15,550.
STEP 8/11
Turn toward the small island
From the sword chest area, move right toward the small island and shore section nearby.
STEP 9/11
Drop into the water
Jump into the water from that side to line up with the second chest.
STEP 10/11
Sprint straight ahead
After landing, run directly forward past the nearby loot toward the chest in front of you.
STEP 11/11
Open the outfit chest
Loot the chest at 23,552 to get Captain Drake’s Outfit.

What Captain Drake’s gear does
Captain Drake’s Outfit is the style piece here: a legendary-looking cosmetic outfit tied to Sir Francis Drake. Treat it as an outfit, not a separate armor-stat upgrade.
Captain Drake’s Swords are rare rapiers with 38 damage. Their rapier-style charge gives you a long-reaching attack, so they are strong for single-target damage.
Coordinate mix-ups on Sacrifice Island
Do not search Havana itself for these rewards. Havana is the nearby map reference, but both Captain Drake’s Swords and Captain Drake’s Outfit are on Sacrifice Island to the west.
The other trap is treating the gear as a single chest. The swords chest and outfit chest are separate, and the route does not end when you open the first chest at 15,550.
KEY!Coordinate listings can be messy for these two items, with 23,552 sometimes treated as the only Sacrifice Island stop. Use the two-chest route here: 15,550 for Captain Drake’s Swords, then 23,552 for Captain Drake’s Outfit.
| Gear | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Captain Drake’s Flintlocks | Buy from the General Store on the island northwest of Gibara at 550,638 for 22000 Reales. |
| Captain Morgan’s Redingnote | Open the chest on Black Island at 914,618. |
| Pirate Captain Outfit | Open the chest at Ambergris Key Cave at 30,159. |
| Templar Armor | Collect all Templar Keys, then open the gate in Edward’s Manor. |
After Sacrifice Island, a few nearby searches overlap with the same kind of outfit and weapon hunt. Keep these separate from Captain Drake’s Swords and Captain Drake’s Outfit; they are different rewards with their own unlock routes.
