The One With the Gun is the second quest in Lucy Baldwin’s officer questline in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and it takes place at Great Inagua in the Gibara region. Finishing it recruits Lucy Baldwin as an officer and grants the Jackdaw the Perfect Brace ship ability.
Quick answer: Complete the main quest This Old Cove, finish A Proper Shipwright at Salt Key Bank, then travel to Great Inagua in Gibara and play The One With the Gun to unlock the Lucy Baldwin officer and the Perfect Brace ability.
Where The One With the Gun is located
The quest marker sits at Great Inagua, in the Gibara area of the map. This is a different spot from the questline’s opener, which begins at Salt Key Bank in Dry Tortuga, so you will need to sail over to Gibara before the mission becomes active.
What you need before it appears
Officer Quests are new to Black Flag Resynced, and Lucy Baldwin’s line only opens up once you clear the story mission This Old Cove. After that mission, Lucy’s marker shows on the Quest Log of the world map.
The One With the Gun is gated behind the first quest in her line. You must finish A Proper Shipwright at Salt Key Bank in Dry Tortuga first, since that mission is where you meet Lucy. Only then does the second quest at Great Inagua become playable.
Rewards for The One With the Gun
Completing this quest pays out on two fronts. It formally recruits Lucy Baldwin as one of the Jackdaw’s officers, and it hands you the Perfect Brace ship ability.
| Reward | What it does |
|---|---|
| Lucy Baldwin Officer | Adds Lucy to the Jackdaw’s crew as the Shipwright. |
| Perfect Brace | Negates damage from an incoming attack if you brace just before the hit lands. |
Perfect Brace is one of the more useful defensive tools for the harder naval fights in the game. Timed correctly, the brace shrugs off a shot that would otherwise chip away at the Jackdaw’s hull.
How the quest fits in Lucy Baldwin’s line
Lucy’s questline runs four missions long. The One With the Gun is the midpoint that seals her as an officer, while the later quests continue in the same region and beyond.
| # | Quest | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A Proper Shipwright | Salt Key Bank, Dry Tortuga |
| 2 | The One With the Gun | Great Inagua, Gibara |
| 3 | Plantain! | Great Inagua, Gibara |
| 4 | Big Wig | Havana, Dry Tortuga |
Pushing through the rest of the line is worth it. Plantain! rewards Baldwin’s Golden Pistols, a standout early-game weapon, so The One With the Gun is best treated as a stepping stone toward the full set of Lucy rewards.
How to confirm it worked
You will know the quest is done when Lucy Baldwin joins as an officer and Perfect Brace appears among the Jackdaw’s ship abilities. If the mission does not show up at Great Inagua, the most common reason is that A Proper Shipwright is still incomplete, or the This Old Cove main quest has not been cleared yet. Handle those first and the marker will appear on the Quest Log.
