    How to unlock Cannon fodder

    This should come naturally as you go for the platinum, you'll most likely get it while farming materials to upgrade the Jackdaw.

    There are three ways you can recruit crew members. By plundering ships, collecting survivors from shipwrecks/rafts by holding and by rescuing captured pirates.

  • Is this glitched ? I have recruited 634 so far but it has not unlocked
  • my jackdaw fully upgraded hope this isnt glitched how can I check how many ice recruited
  • EASIEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS TROPHY IS PLUNDER SHIPS AND LET YOUR CREW DIE. THERE'S A WHITE INDICATOR ON YOUR TOP LEFT SCREEN WITH A THREE MAN LOGO. THE WHITE LINE IS YOUR FULL CREW GAUGE. LET YOUR CREW BOARD A SHIP STAY WHILE YOU STAY ON YOUR JACKDAW. YOU'LL SEE YOUR CREW MEMBERS START DYING. LET A GOOD BIT DIE THEN BOARD THEIR SHIP CAPTURE THE SHIP. WHEN YOU CAPTURE THEIR BOAT YOU WILL BE AWARDED CREW MEMBERS. YOU CAN ALSO PURCHASE CREW MEMBERS AT EVERY TAVERN. YOU'LL SEE AN IDOL PIRATE JUST APPROACH HIM AND IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY BUY THEM ALL. YOU CAN ALSO PICK UP RECRUITS IN THE SEA. CAREFUL THOUGH, THEY DON'T COUNT IF YOUR CREW GAUGE (METER) IS FULL. YOUR DATABASE KEEPS RECORD OF ALL RECRUITS.
  • @Zgimba how did you check?
  • Like #3 said... Board Frigates and Men O' War and simply do the objectives while leaving ''kill X number of enemies'' for last... while you destroy the powder kegs or climb the mast to destroy the flag, you'll loose at least 10 crew in the process... I got it yesterday and I just plundered ships, rescued people at sea... I recruited once in a tavern... Upgrade your ship's crew quarters, it does help also...
  • @itshoggie (and anyone else who wants to know) You can check by going MENU > DATABASE > STATISTICS > PIRATE STATISTICS At the bottom of that list says 'Total Crew Recruited' Mine was 499 when I first found this out xD
  • Super easy way to grind this is to replay Sequence 3 Memory 2. 1. Climb the church right at the start of the memory. 2. Kill the two guards with a double assassination. 3. Free the men for 4 recruits. 4. Wait for the saving indicator to disappear, then reload checkpoint to spawn at mission start, repeat these steps until you have 16 recruits. 5. Once you've completed the objective (you'll have 16 recruits), restart the memory. You don't have to go do the other crap. Saving the guy from hanging will only get you 2 more recruits and the travel time isn't worth it. Repeat all the steps until the trophy pops. Your number of recruits is saved between reloading checkpoints and restarting the memory, so it's a quick way to get 16 recruits over and over without having to really do anythi
  • #6 is correct, and likelihood is you'll have to let plenty of your crew die and recruit again a number of times to get this.
