10 Video Games That Secretly Give You The Best Weapon At The Beginning

10. Assassin’s Creed

When it was first released in 2007, Assassin’s Creed had all the makings of an epic story. Over a decade later, the franchise is still going strong, and a defining part of the series has been the assassination of characters with the hidden blade.

Small, efficient and deadly, the hidden blade is the calling card of the Assassin order, dispatching targets with a single strike. First wielded by Altair Ibn-La’Ahad to kill an unsuspecting guard in a temple, the hidden blade has come to represent everything that makes Assassin’s Creed such a fun series.

Over the years, the hidden blade has received various upgrades, such as housing a gun or being part of a dual set. The weapon has become legendary in the hands of fan favourites like Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, Edward Kenway and Evie Frye. The hidden blade will remain one of the greatest starting weapons in gaming history because of its sheer simplicity.
