This small icon, embedded in the top center of the screen, shows the player how many enemies are currently pursuing him during a multiplayer match of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag.
Increasing Number of Pursuers[edit]
The number of pursuers increases the better a player does in the game.
If you find yourself towards the top of the scoreboard during a match, you'll also find that more enemies are hunting for you.
In first place, players will have up to three enemies targeting them at once.
