Becoming incognito

Use the following trick to go from notorious (wanted) to incognito (not wanted) without paying a bribe to the crier or the printer, and without tearing down any posters. Once you are anonymous (unseen by the enemy) you can use "fast travel" and when you do so, you will become incognito.

Changing equipment

To change equipment (for example, to use a new sword), enter the "Equipment" screen at a shop. You can now switch items. Note: Some items, such as certain outfits, can be switched in the basement of the homestead manor.

Distorted screen

During the mission where you attempt save the man who is trapped in the rapids and held by a log, try to save him just as he is about to go over the waterfall, and as close to the death zone of the falls as possible. When you dive, aim directly for him. If done correctly, the screen will be distorted (even during the intermission sequences). It will look much in the same manner of when Charles Lee's friend hits Conner over the head and he just wakes up. The screen will remain like this until you are able to pause the game.

Double animal skins

When hunting, if you know an animal is about to make an action on a spot (such as mark a tree or eat a flower) allow it to do so, then kill it. Examine the clue, which should generate after the animal does this, and another animal will spawn somewhere nearby. Use this to increase the number of hunting items acquired. Note: This method is not always successful.

Easy money

Keep spawning and looting convoys to get a lot of good loot quickly. A convoy is a horse-drawn carriage that is guarded by some soldiers and a drummer. They can only be found in the Frontier area. There are certain areas they spawn, but they also will randomly appear during any daytime and weather condition. One of the convoys has approximately a 50% chance to spawn in front of the Templar Fort that is located in the south-western corner of the map. There is a harbor nearby that can be used as a fast travel station. If the convoy does not spawn, you can travel to another map and return. Defeat all the enemies guarding the convoy, then interact with the back of the carriage to get some good loot. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Finding "Special Iron Ingots" for crafting weapons

You can find the "Special Iron Ingots" needed for crafting the weapons that are in the "Special" list of the crafting menu, such as the "Broken Sword" Knife and Washington's Battle Sword (Replica), by doing Homestead missions and by looting chests throughout the game. However there are not enough to craft all of the weapons even after getting all the chests and doing all the missions. You can find more ingots behind the manor at the Davenport Homestead. When looking at the front door of the house, go around the right side. Keep going straight back all the way to the cliff. Go directly behind the horse stable to the edge of the cliff (there are two stables; select the one closer to the house that sits near the cliff). Drop down to hang from the edge of the cliff and look down. There should be a small ledge. Drop onto that ledge to find a crate. Open it to get three "Special Iron Ingots". The crate will only spawn if you do not have any Special Ingots remaining. When you use those up, fast travel to any location and the crate will respawn. If you have gotten all the chests, you will still need to go to the crate twice to have enough to make all the weapons.

Item crafting recipes

There is only one way to craft an item, but all items can be crafted without a recipe. Thus, it is important to know exactly which materials to use to craft an item because you will lose the ingredients if you do not combine the correct materials to create an item. Most crafted items are only good for selling, but there are some specialty items that can be crafted that will create unique weapons and upgrades. Most specialty recipes can be found in treasure chests in outdoor areas. The specialty items can be crafted at any time as long as you have the required material(s) and artisan level(s). Some artisans will only gain levels at certain points in the game; thus, you may have to wait until later in the game before certain specialty items can be crafted. Additionally, specialty items sometimes require special materials to construct.

Saving time with Nathem

During the first two or three sequences where you play as Natham, do not spend any time acquiring any amount of money or weapons. You will lose them all after you switch over to Conner.

Shard Of Eden

Successfully complete all five Captain Kidd missions to get the Shard Of Eden ring, which decreases the chance of being hit by bullets. When the Shard Of Eden deflects a bullet, a yellow animation will appear.
