There are a number of rewards for hitting Animus Data Fragment collection milestones. At 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30, you will unlock episodes in the Desmond’s Journey side quest on Animus Island (see page 104).

It should go without saying that containers located in Templar Dens are much easier to pick up once you assert Assassin control in the region. There are also three Treasure Chests to open at the very end of each of the five Secret Locations, documented in the corresponding section of the DNA menu...
