In a tweet from Ubisoft, the developer detailed the items up for grabs and what players need to do to get them. From February 16 to 23, those looking to get the Jackdaw items must complete a few specific River Raid Challenges inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. The customized longship hull andBlack Flagsails are already available for everyone, considering theAssassin’s Creed Valhallacommunity was required to play the River Raid mode 1 million times and has already done so.
The second challenge must be completed by players individually. Playing the River Raids mode at least 5 times will unlock the tailpiece on the longship and playing the mode 10 times will unlock the skull with ram horns figurehead. After February 23, these items will no longer be obtainable, so aspiring raiders looking to search forRiver Raid keysin full black sail have 4 days left.
The free River Raids update forAssassin’s Creed Valhallahas added more than just expanded river raid opportunities. Finding those River Raid keys can net players some rare goods, as they open chests that contain pieces of theSaint George armor set. This armor set is quite good, as it comes with a sword and shield and provides bonuses to attack power and speed.
The River Raids update has also allowed players toobtain the Drengiligr Dagger, also known as the dagger of Ragnar Lothbrok. Acquiring this dagger will require besting six of Ragnar’s lost Drengr warriors in combat, so raiders looking to max out their finds from the River Raid update need to come prepared.
Assassin’s Creed Valhallais available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
