In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', besides the purchasable "[[Weapons|proper]]" weapons and the two-handed weapons such as [[spears and halberds]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] can also use '''"improper" weapons'''. These weapons include:

==''Assassin's Creed II''==
*Brooms
*Hoes
*Rakes
*Fishing poles
*Pitch forks
*Violins (the stringed instruments that are used by certain Minstrels, only available during [[Carnevale]])
*The parts of a broken spear (upper part acts like a sword, lower part like a mace)
*Invisible sword (uses the unarmed slot, swings like a sword when attacking, allows only instant kills and counters, and is lost when wall running)

==''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''==
*Shovel
*Brooms
*Pickaxes
*Rakes
*Pitchforks
*Fishing Poles

The above can be picked up like two-handed weapons. They are discarded once a fight is finished, or once Ezio enters a [[Free Running]] sequence. These weapons act mainly as hammers or maces, using the same animations and sound effects.

These "weapons" cannot be kept, and their attacks are sometimes nonsensical. For example, Ezio can slice an enemy's throat with a broom after a grab, exactly the way he does with a sword. These objects can be taken from [[civilians]]. They will drop what they're carrying once Ezio gently pushes or runs into them, when a fight starts, or if you throw money near the person.

To use the invisible sword glitch, simply use a spear counter on a two-handed guard, and try punching, you will notice that Ezio does the sword animation when swinging or blocking.

In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, the ''Spring Cleaning'' [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood achievements|achievement/trophy]] can be earned by killing a guard with a broom.

==Trivia==
*Some improper weapons CAN be kept with a glitch, but will be lost when going to another city or randomly during excessive combat. To do this, you cannot have a weapon in your sword sheath, which can be done by letting a [[brute]] smash your sword or mace away. Afterwards, simply pick up one of the improper weapons, and you may be able to keep them. This only works for certain improper weapons, however, such as the blunt bottom part of a broken spear.
*[[Guards]] can also use these improper weapons, as long as you disarm them and there is no other weapon available. They will pick up any improper weapon except the invisible sword (as this is merely a glitch). It's easier to make guards use them during DNA Sequence 1, as guards won't have weapons.
*When you rescue the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]] in the mission [[Caged Fighter]], he uses a broom to fight until he picks up a proper weapon from a fallen guard.
*The violin sounds like a sword, but acts like a mace.
*If you want to drop your sword, just go to [[Monteriggioni]] and practice "Picking Up Weapons", and Ezio's sword will immediately drop right out of his scabbard automatically.
