Assassin's Creed 3: 5 Reasons To Be Excited

4. The Weapons

An assassin requires on his weapons, most of all their signature hidden blade. We have seen modifications to the blade in the past, such as a hidden gun or the hookblade. Now, AC3 will introduce the hidden blade "dagger", it allows the blade to swivel out and become a dagger for combat. It also allows the gamer to use that feature to dual wield weapons. We can now grab the tomahawk (another exciting new weapon) and pull the dagger out in the other hand. This game also gives us access to dual wield flint-lock pistols. If that wasn't enough firepower for you, then you'll be excited to hear that we also get a musket at our disposal. On top of all that we get to use a bow and arrow and get to play around with the new "grapple rope". The rope springs out of Connor's hands and can pull enemies closer to him. It becomes ideal for quick combat and makes ariel assassinations a lot more fun. I can't wait to get my hands on these new weapons.
