Earlier this month, the Assassin’s Creed Twitter account revealed that the game would be holding a series of community treasure hunts to celebrate the release of Black Flag Resynced. Each of these chests can be found in-game and would include a reward and Ubisoft would drop a teaser each Friday for three weeks, so players can try to find them together.
Unfortunately, this week’s treasure hunt has already been scrapped. It seems as though Ubisoft may have underestimated just how good Assassin’s Creed players are at sniffing out rewards, as this week’s treasure hunt was completely ruined by a fan that found the chest by complete accident.
The fan in question was a Reddit user called Holliday (shared by Twitter user PotatoSynth), who explains that they were simply combing the ocean for unmarked chests, and were just swimming around to see if they got lucky.
They decided to pick a spot on the map that intrigued them enough, dived into the ocean, and immediately spotted the chest. They explain that they were briefly shaking with excitement having discovered something so rare that possibly nobody else had at the time.
What they found was the Explorer Outfit, a unique outfit...
