Then as you play through the game — completing Sequences 1, 6 & 13 in Singleplayer for 60 points and playing every game mode & using all multiplayer weapons for 40 more points — you’ll gain Uplay points on your account that you can spend in that same menu to unlock in-game outfits! And that’s how to unlock Assassin’s Creed 4 outfits, simple eh?
