9. Meat Shield
In past AC games, we have been unable to block bullets fired by our enemies, we would usually kill our attacker before they had the chance to shoot. But, in a time period where everyone has guns, it's hard to do that. Luckily, our problems have been solved. Connor now has the ability to grab onto one of his opponents and use them as a human meat shield.
It has been done hundreds of times in movies and in other games, why is it so special in this case? This ability is a new way to inflict mental and physical torture in a fight. Of course the person that is being used as a shield would die, but I can't help but wonder what the reaction of the other soldiers would be. I imagine they will be shocked and it will be fun to hear the things they say. If you're ever in a jam and trapped by several armed foes, grab the nearest one and let the bloodbath begin.
