- Black Flag Resynced offers a fully customizable HUD with options ranging from "Simple" to "Minimal," allowing players to tailor on-screen information to their preference.
- New enemy defense mechanics involve timed parries and strong attacks to break defenses, with health and defense bars shown by default but optional to disable.
