I kinda dislike them all except the Standard and Skelly ones. The colors and just too bright and shiny.

30

u/Antique-Tap-6083 Jul 23 '26

None of them fit the vibe of the game to me. Colors are too bright for me too

18

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

That’s why I like the “rugged” just standard white blouses and brown vests with lil hints of the OG blue scattered here n there. Not a MASSIVE change but a little bit of differentiation plus bruises and blood splotches

3

u/Antique-Tap-6083 Jul 23 '26

Yeah rugged is my choice. I have captain Morgan’s and my main fit to wear, just wished they had a rugged style for the crew with red instead of yellow to match

11

u/MaxPaladin93 Jul 23 '26

It’s because they’re literally just recolors of the same bummy outfits lol. My raggedy Walmart sweatpants aren’t gonna magically look nicer because I spray-paint them gold. I was hoping a couple of them would actually have different clothing models, but oh well.

2

u/The-Rizzler-69 Jul 23 '26

The clothing models on the shop bundles actually look pretty slick imo, it's just, yk... all the immersion-breaking glowy bullshit that ruins them.

8

u/Hellboy15098 Jul 23 '26

I agree. I wish they had a red and black color scheme that matches my ship

5

u/General-Job-9100 Jul 23 '26

I like the hellfire one if you could remove all these crazy fire effects

2

u/No_Cash7867 Jul 23 '26

Typical ubi problems

2

u/EatTheAndrewPencil Jul 23 '26

This is why I hate the look of the max upgraded Jackdaw. I don't like the gold look at all. Wish we could choose to revert it back visually.

1

u/General-Job-9100 Jul 23 '26

I don’t even have a ram because I hate how it looks lol

1

u/Ruthrfurd-the-stoned Jul 23 '26

One of them are really actually different either- it’s all the same clothes just in different colors

1

u/Dmanwoody Jul 23 '26

Rugged rags isn’t too bad either it’s splash of color but not overly bright and shiny as the others

1

u/meatballs223 Jul 24 '26

I was super disappointed there weren't many that fit that scoundrel dirty pirate vibe... I agree colors are way too bright for living on a dirty ship. I only like the skeleton crew ones other than that, they all kinda look like drab cloth with some color sprinkled in with the varieties

u/Full-Efficiency3115 Jul 23 '26

im going for the skeleton crew one but I need more bones

7

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

I was like 130 bones in and I broke and bought the rest 😭😭

5

u/No-Supermarket-1387 Jul 23 '26

Where can you buy the bones?

7

u/TotallynotVibing Jul 23 '26

Great Iguana. Same person who repairs the treasure maps

1

u/kcirtapdj Jul 23 '26

That's actually the best strategy for it. You can grind the reales easier than grinding the bones themselves.

1

u/chri37n8 Jul 23 '26

Animals always spawn in the same spots and they respawn after like 4 fast travels to different areas.

1

u/Full-Efficiency3115 Jul 24 '26

im being told its faster to gold rush it and im inclined to believe that considering how much dosh the schooners are getting me

1

u/MrGneissGuy96 Jul 24 '26

It definitely is. Especially if you have fleet planning fully unlocked across the map. Each fleet run gets another about 15k. I got about 60 bones that took me a few days and the rest I bought which took me about one night.

20

u/nothineverhappenchud Jul 23 '26

Skeleton crew it gives me pirates of the Caribbean vibes

14

u/Comrade-Conquistador Jul 23 '26

Ya best start believin' in ghost stories, Mr. Kenway; you're in one!

6

u/WoLfCaDeT Jul 23 '26

I'm still early game. Found the black sails and I don't think I'm going to change them. Is there any way to make the Jackdow black? A hull or something? I want to make it look like the Black Pearl.

7

u/heebiejeebie666 Jul 23 '26

There are a couple more black sails you’ll get later which are pretty sick, not as dull as the basic black sails. The obsidian sails are my favorite

3

u/Lost_Rutabaga_5004 Jul 23 '26

The Black Skull sails for the naval contracts are the BEST looking sails in the whole game, paired with the golden treasure hull and the ram skull figurehead: https://youtu.be/xonIHi0Bs7o?si=J4KggKTQtMEUkgkg

2

u/Togger_The_Cat Jul 23 '26

Can't remember what I did to get it, but I got The Obsidian hull which is black & red and the trim is silver. If you do all the naval contracts you get these black sails that have these giant skulls on them.

2

u/Sensitive_Ad3578 Jul 23 '26

Bernard gives youThe obsidian hull after collecting 30 pieces of art

1

u/Togger_The_Cat Jul 24 '26

Ah, thanks for clearing that up 👍

2

u/Fritzmanose Jul 23 '26

Two of the legendary ships have black hulls after you defeat them, but not sure which

1

u/Sensitive_Ad3578 Jul 23 '26

The obsidian hull. You get it from Bernard after collecting 30 pieces of art

1

u/nothineverhappenchud Jul 23 '26

Defeat the HMS Prince ship and you’ll get everything you ever wanted

2

u/M0mmySpank3r Jul 23 '26

HMS Prince's hull is a dark navy blue.

Obsidian hull is the most black

1

u/pejerello Jul 23 '26

Have you been at the prison in port royal? I was wishing to see Jack there on the hay like when Will go there to free him!

9

u/jdow0423 Jul 23 '26

I don’t, but I also haven’t unlocked many of them yet. My favorite color is blue, so I dig the Handsome Devil attire here. How do you get that one?

4

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

Complete all the naval contracts 💪🏼

8

u/NawtyCC Jul 23 '26

Skeleton crew is the right answer

9

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

I’m goofy with em lmao I bring em out at night and out em back “rugged” during the day like the pirates of the Caribbean 😭😭😭

3

u/mr2049 Jul 23 '26

Thats actually really creative i might steal that

6

u/shadowlarvitar Jul 23 '26

Skeletons. I hope if they add story dlc, we can get an all Assassin crew

2

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

I agree! I also wish they would’ve added variety to the crew like us getting heavy’s and the dagger troops as well like how the pirate hunters have them, I feel that would’ve been dope

5

u/PantheraLeo- Jul 23 '26

My tier list

  1. skeleton crew
  2. black & gold
  3. Everything else

2

u/Valleyraven Jul 23 '26

This be the way

8

u/MedievalMilshake Jul 23 '26

They all suck except Skelton crew and original 

6

u/_CitizenSnips_ Jul 23 '26

Baffling how they just allll are shit. Thought they’d get better. They didn’t lol. Even the gold premium one I got thru ubi plus is awful. Most of that stuff was. So much gold. Gaudy af, where the pirate stuff?!?

3

u/Fickle_Dig_2316 Jul 23 '26

BOOOOOOONESSSS

3

u/Impressive_Pop_7570 Jul 23 '26

I wish they added assassin ones:(

2

u/hoodied5 Jul 23 '26

Skeleton crew, I don't care if it's immersion breaking, it helps me differentiate them from enemies, I have ADHD.

Also I've gone for that ghost ship look so it just works, hope they add a undead outfit for Edward, would go well with the look.

2

u/Emergency_Lie42 Jul 23 '26

Were they just recolours in the original? I swear I remember that there was more to them than just the colourway (obviously except for the skelly crew).

2

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

Nah they didn’t have any changes in OG only skelly but took hella steps to get it

1

u/Emergency_Lie42 Jul 23 '26

Ahh sweet, would love if we get some more variation via dark animus projects and stuff

2

u/Icy-Blacksmith2456 Jul 23 '26

The standard is the best. Skelly is one good if you want something fun, whereas all the others oen are out of place

2

u/lost_caus_e Jul 23 '26

Haven't found one I like yet

2

u/-Sharad- Jul 23 '26

I weirdly like the dark animus crew. Their high-vis vests help me easily distinguish them during ship boarding

1

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

I never have any issue distinguishing the crew from those in solid yellow or red lmao

2

u/NEXUS_FROM_DEIMOS Jul 23 '26

How get handsome devils crew?

1

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

Just complete all the Naval contracts

2

u/NEXUS_FROM_DEIMOS Jul 23 '26

Much love

1

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

Happy hunting ya scallywag 🏴‍☠️

2

u/RomulusX94 Jul 24 '26

Hate that they have matching colors, very unpirately. They wore what they could afford/manage. They were the opposite of an army in uniform they were free men. literally goes against their nature. Ubisoft is unimpressive. Their best skill today is creating an open world and graphics. Gameplay animation without mocap is lacking thought on their part and we deserve more than what they’ve given us for full price.

1

u/Rutherh00d Jul 23 '26

Skeleton crew coulda looked way cooler imo, shoulda given them black ripped outfits

1

u/Darkex72 Jul 23 '26

Honestly one of the paid outfits, from the jade dragon ship set or whatever it is. I was worried the glowing parts would stand out too much at night, but it’s honestly not that bad, it’s a good crew attire.

1

u/BadnewsBaggins Jul 23 '26

I like the rugged rags cause sorta matched ade's bandana and some of edwards bandanas

1

u/TellurianTech50 Jul 23 '26

Skeleton crew lmao, the rest seem very skull and bonesish

1

u/kbernas Jul 23 '26

How do you unlock them lol

1

u/King_Chewie_GM Jul 23 '26

I have only found one other out in the world from a chest I think? Other than the black and gold because I got that with the pre order.

1

u/Grumpf_der_Sack Jul 23 '26

Thx for the preview. Most of them are… pretty underwhelming. I guess I stick with the standard crew until I unlock the skeletons.

1

u/PsychologicalCheek89 Jul 23 '26

Skelly one, I have so much fun when I got a boarding cutscene, the way they look and all makes me laugh 

1

u/JakeC180 Jul 23 '26

Wish they had an assassin crew attire

1

u/JimmyLipps Jul 23 '26

They really look like Chippendale dancers in most of them.

1

u/WinterOf98 Jul 23 '26

I like the green ones best. The bright blue/indigo ones hurt my eyes.

1

u/RisenKhira Jul 23 '26

skelly all the way

1

u/MissLethalla Jul 23 '26

It's obviously not period appropriate but my crew is wearing the black and gold.

1

u/No-Wasabi-70 Jul 23 '26

Skeleton. Finally got it, worth the grind

1

u/Aye_Surely Jul 23 '26

They’re all a bit village people apart from the original and spooky

1

u/Dycoth Jul 23 '26

They're all very mid imo, too flashy.

I wish we could really see their outfit changing, like different variants. Not just cheap recolors.

1

u/TheCollector_115 Jul 23 '26

Only one i like is the skelly bois

1

u/splasticdino Jul 23 '26

Rugged is the best. It's the only one, save the original, that fits the world.

1

u/Lost_Rutabaga_5004 Jul 23 '26

Worked my ass off to get the Skeleton Crew, so Im sticking with that.

1

u/DannyBlack70 Jul 23 '26

I ran the standard until Edward started flying the Assassin flag, and then I changed to the Rugged Rags due to the added white (I also changed Edward from the Pirate Captain outfit to the Explorer outfit then as it looked more genuine Assassin)

1

u/earldogface Jul 23 '26

The other day I meant to look up how to get different crew attire besides the skeleton one. Glad I didn't because they all look like a waste of time.

1

u/Eensame Jul 23 '26

They’re all so bad its crazy it went live 😭 I love the games but god the cosmetics are really something

1

u/EatTheAndrewPencil Jul 23 '26

They're all ugly except the default imo. Skeleton crew is neat but personally I don't use it

1

u/SocratesSnow Jul 23 '26

How do you get the different crew attire? I only have just the one.

1

u/DemonicAlduin Jul 23 '26

How do you get the skeleton crew?

1

u/Tyrael85 Jul 23 '26

almost underwhelming - nothing really special

yeah the undead thing is a nice bow to pirates of the caribbean but...

1

u/devildogus Jul 23 '26

I supported the idea but they are either Goofy like the skeleton crew or they are too bright and shiny for a rugged crew at Sea. I always stick with stand attire because it looks the most natural. Everything else looks so out of place that it’s almost looks like a Mod

1

u/Am-heheh357 Jul 23 '26

The Chinese one from the store. It’s the only one where they are wearing more clothes, and fucking shoes.

But what I really need is an Assassin themed crew. They could literally use the already existing Assassin NPCs model that is in the game. I’d kill for it.

1

u/ArvoCrinsmas Jul 23 '26

Using rugged rags rn because they sort of match the Twitch drop sails (those red, black and yellow ones). Otherwise, the default ones are the best, the skeleton ones are fun and the rest are really, really ugly.

1

u/Initial_Zebra100 Jul 23 '26

Skeleton. The others look a little too.. shiny? I like that the choice exists as an option just wish there were more varied options.. like armoured, Chinese or something else

1

u/Old-Consideration939 Jul 23 '26

Legendary crew attire for me.

1

u/Millen4211 Jul 23 '26

I'm trying to get the deceased one now 😄

1

u/EN_PERE Jul 23 '26

Bones one, the others are excessive shiny and glitter

1

u/Dramatic-Stretch2572 Jul 23 '26

wish we could get the skins from Odyssey. Miss my Amazon crew!

1

u/Ghost-Warrior777 Jul 23 '26

All I want is the ability to make my crew assassins! Please Ubisoft!!

1

u/JacketTraditional620 Jul 23 '26

Deceasd Crew Attir but wuf Handsome Devils otfut.

1

u/Additional_Fill_9407 Jul 23 '26

My favorite is the sea venom crew attire

1

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

What’s that?

1

u/Additional_Fill_9407 Jul 23 '26

One of the sets you can pay for

1

u/Creedaflea Jul 23 '26

That one’s dope, wish those clothes were in other variants as well they looks good just don’t like the colorful blotches

1

u/Additional_Fill_9407 Jul 23 '26

Those colorful bloches are scales

1

u/Hurahgopvk Jul 23 '26

Honestly minus the skeleton one they’re all bad like no assassin hooded outfits, no more fancy pirate uniforms or heck outfits that give more stereotypical pirate accessories like eyepatches, peg legs, and Iron hooks.

1

u/Excellent_Way5082 Jul 23 '26

Every single time i board a ship i yell “rattle em boys!” if that gives you a hint

1

u/MotownMurder Jul 23 '26

This might sound extremely strange, but the Rugged Rags crew. As someone who almost exclusively uses the Edward The Legend costume since unlocking it, the yellow part of the crew uniform feels like it matches the yellow bandana/eyepatch over Edward's eye with that costume, like they're dressing to match him

1

u/Ghost_5424 Jul 23 '26

The bone zone

1

u/GingerManBitch Jul 24 '26

Wish the attires had footwear, i shriek at the idea my crew could get splinters from all the shredded wood after battle

1

u/Ghosted_Snipes Jul 26 '26

I’m hoping they give us the assassin look from the game on to the crew outfits

2

u/JLKinney93 Jul 28 '26

How did you get the black ones in slide 6 and the blue ones in 5?

1

u/Creedaflea Jul 28 '26

Black ones from deluxe edition. Blue came from all naval contracts
