Community Chests are hidden underwater containers that Ubisoft dropped into Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced after release, each one tied to a cryptic clue posted on the game’s social channels. They sit off the coast of small islands in fairly random spots, and there are currently three confirmed. Below are the coordinates and the rewards for every one, plus how to spot them once you dive.
Quick answer: Sail to (421, 939), (501, 168), and (28, 293), dive at each spot, and watch for streams of bubbles to locate the chests. They give 4,000 Reales, the Uncrowned Prince rapier plus Guardian Beast Figurehead, and the Explorer Outfit plus Aveline Figurehead.
All Community Chest coordinates and rewards
| Chest | Coordinates | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Chest 1 (Dry Tortuga Sea) | (421, 939) | 4,000 Reales |
| Chest 2 (Charlotte Sea) | (501, 168) | Uncrowned Prince (Legendary Rapier), Guardian Beast Figurehead (Legendary) |
| Chest 3 (Chinchorro Sea) | (28, 293) | Explorer Outfit (Rare), Aveline Figurehead (Legendary) |
Note: coordinates for the second and third chests can read slightly differently in-game, closer to (500, 167) and (28, 291), because they sit at the edge of small alcoves. Sail to the listed numbers and the chest will be within a short swim.
How to spot a Community Chest underwater
These chests are deliberately hard to find. They are not marked on your map, and Eagle Vision will not highlight them the way it does normal treasure. That rules out any shortcut, so you have to rely on your eyes.
The most reliable trick is to watch for streams of bubbles rising from the seabed. Dive down near the coordinates, follow the bubbles, and search the coral and rocks. Lighting at these spots can be very dark, so slow down and sweep the area rather than swimming straight past.
Ubisoft has been teasing the locations through clues on the official Assassin’s Creed accounts, and players cracked all three well ahead of the planned reveals.
Chest 1: Dry Tortuga Sea (421, 939)
This one sits in the far northeast corner of the map, in the Dry Tortuga Sea north of Florida, off the coast of the large island near a rocky outcrop. Sail to the coordinates and look for the big rock breaking the surface.
Dive down on the northwestern side of that rock and search among the coral-covered rocks. The reward is 4,000 Reales, which is worth grabbing for ship upgrades or crew, though you can skip it if your coffers are already full.
Chest 2: Charlotte Sea (501, 168)
The second chest holds the best rewards. It is directly west of Kingston in the Charlotte Sea, tucked into the alcove south of Long Bay. The quickest route is to fast-travel to Nassau, then sail north until you spot a bare cliffside that stands out against the surrounding greenery.
Dive straight down and search the coral. The chest is wedged deep between rocks and can be easy to miss, so swim east along the corals while scanning rather than approaching from the west. Inside you get the Uncrowned Prince, a Legendary rapier with a long-reach heavy thrust that heals you when you break an enemy’s defense, along with the Guardian Beast Figurehead for the Jackdaw.
Chest 3: Chinchorro Sea (28, 293)
The final confirmed chest is in the far west of the map, in the Chinchorro Sea just north of Corozal. Fast-travel to Corozal and sail north into this dead-end stretch of water until you reach a large rock poking out of the surface.
Moor the Jackdaw just north of that rock and swim east to reach the chest. It contains the Explorer Outfit, a Rare cosmetic many players assumed had been cut, plus the Aveline Figurehead.
If a chest won’t appear
If you reach a coordinate and see nothing, it is almost always a search problem rather than a missing chest. Eagle Vision does not tag these containers, so scanning the area will never reveal them. Instead, follow the bubble trails on the seabed and check both sides of the nearest rock, since the exact spot can read a point or two off from the numbers above. Once you open a chest, the reward is added straight to your inventory, so a new figurehead, outfit, or weapon in your menus confirms you found the right one.
Three chests are live right now, but Ubisoft has signaled it may add more, so it is worth keeping an eye on the official Assassin’s Creed channels for future clues before you set sail.
