'''Sir Jacob Frye''' (1847 – unknown) was a [[Master Assassin]] of the [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]] active in [[London]] during the [[Victorian era]], and the younger twin brother of [[Evie Frye]], later becoming a member of [[Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria's]] [[Order of the Sacred Garter]], and the grandfather of [[Lydia Frye]].

Born in [[Crawley]], where they were raised as Assassins from birth, Jacob and his sister eventually moved to London after their father died of natural causes.

Alongside Evie, Jacob led the [[Rooks]], a criminal syndicate opposing the Templar-backed [[Blighters]]. At some point in their life, the twins came into contact with the novelist [[Charles Dickens]], the biologist [[Charles Darwin]] and the inventor [[Alexander Graham Bell]].

== Biography ==

=== Early life ===
Born four minutes after his twin Evie, Jacob and his sister were raised by their grandmother as their mother [[Cecily Frye|Cecily]] died in childbirth. They were later trained by their father, [[Ethan Frye]], in the Assassin ways. Unlike Evie, Jacob dismissed his father's education, preferring to explore factories and gambling dens in Crawley late at night while Evie trained with Ethan.<ref name="Syndicate">[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate|''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'']]</ref>

Sometime after their father's natural death in 1868, Jacob and Evie traveled to the [[Ferris Ironworks]] with [[George Westhouse]], a fellow Assassin, to eliminate the Templars [[Rupert Ferris]] and [[David Brewster]]. Jacob infiltrated the Ironworks and assassinated Ferris. Escaping the enraged [[Blighters]] gang by train, Jacob narrowly survived the subsequent derailing and crash.<ref name="Syndicate" />

The twins later returned to Westhouse, having each completed their tasks. Impatient to journey for London, the twins were scolded by the older Assassin, warning them that it was not Ethan's plans for them. Despite Westhouse's sermon, Jacob and Evie secretly hitched a train to London, intent on liberating it, despite the Order's ruling against it.<ref name="Syndicate" />

=== Arrival in London ===
After arriving in [[Whitechapel]], the twins sought out the [[Assassin leader|leader]], and sole remaining Assassin in London, [[Henry Green]]. Informed of the Templars' vast control over the city, Jacob proposed to form a gang called the Rooks to challenge the Blighters' power in the area, disagreeing with Evie's plan to recover [[Pieces of Eden]]. While discussing this, the three Assassins bumped into the writer Charles Dickens who invited them for a talk sometime. After losing the [[Blighters]] tailing them, the twins joined Henry in his hideout, where he explained his array of contacts within the city.<ref name="Syndicate" />

The twins later encountered a disguised Sergeant [[Frederick Abberline]], who gave them a list of Blighters, whom they could kidnap and bring to him for arrest, preferring living to dead. Jacob and Evie also liberated abused children from the local factories, in order to satisfy their young contact [[Clara O'Dea]], in exchange for access to her network of child informants. Together with the new recruits, the siblings assassinated [[Rexford Kaylock]] and took control of Whitechapel from the Blighters, forming the Rooks in the process.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Following a street battle with Kaylock’s Blighters, from which they emerged victorious, the Assassins won the gang leader's personal train, and decided to utilize it as their hideout, gaining [[Agnes MacBean]]'s services as a financier in the process. They proceeded to travel to [[Southwark]] to meet Henry Green's accomplice and inventor, [[Alexander Graham Bell]], to fix the broken rope launcher for use on their [[Assassin Gauntlet|gauntlets]].<ref name="Syndicate" />

After Bell returned from installing fuses with Evie, the inventor showed Jacob the first messages of the telegraph and made him a second new rope launcher. The twins then headed to their hideout where they met [[Ned Wynert]], an American transgender entrepreneur, who gave them his business card. The Assassins planned their next motive, with Jacob determined to strengthen the Rooks and eliminate [[Crawford Starrick]]'s associates within London's infrastructure, whilst Evie searched for the [[Shroud of Eden]].<ref name="Syndicate" />

=== Rise of the Rooks ===
Although in disagreement with Evie's hunt for Pieces of Eden, Jacob aided his sister in recovering an artifact from the Templar occultist Lucy Thorne's shipments. He eliminated the guards as Evie searched the chests. However, he was caught and chased by Blighters as he returned to Evie, forcing the twins to flee on a carriage; Jacob took the reins while Evie acted on the defense. Ultimately, their pursuers were closing in, forcing the twins to abandon the carriage and its cargo, though Evie managed to keep hold of a journal belonging to the late [[Edward Kenway]].<ref name="Syndicate" />

Jacob begun his investigation into the source of ''[[Starrick's Soothing Syrup]]'', which was ravaging London’s poor districts. After chasing a merchant and locating the distributor to the factory, stealing his files in the process, Jacob managed to track down and kidnap the distribution boss in the [[Southwark]] Foundry, learning from him that Starrick's Soothing Syrup were produced in the distillation building.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Arriving there, Jacob witnessed an elderly man attempting to break inside, and hiding when the guards appeared. After eliminating the Blighters guarding the place, Jacob broke the lock of the factory and entered with the man. The duo investigated the tank and its ingredients, learning that the Syrup contained opium, turning it into an addictive and deadly substance. While the man hid near the entrance, Jacob turned the pressure valves, destroying the distillation tanks and setting fire to the building, which Jacob narrowly escaped by jumping through a window. The man introduced himself as [[Charles Darwin]], who showed the Assassin a document that indicated batches of the Syrup were sent to the [[Lambeth Asylum]].<ref name="Syndicate" />

He later found Darwin arguing with the asylum owner [[Richard Owen]] whom Jacob chased and hijacked his carriage, damaging it to scare Owen into revealing the creator of the Syrup - the doctor [[John Elliotson]].<ref name="Syndicate" />

The twins visited Bell, who upgraded their gauntlet with a dart mechanism capable of firing hallucinogenic darts. Brother and sister provided assistance to the inventor by recovering cable lines taken by the Blighters in the shipments in College Wharf. They also discovered poison in the shipments from Starrick.<ref name="Syndicate" />

After informing Darwin of his latest exploits regarding his hunt for the Syrup creator, Jacob infiltrated the asylum where he discovered the doctors brutally experimenting on patients for medical purposes. He assassinated Elliotson, who mocked him, calling him childish for not thinking of the consequences of his actions.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Continuing their fight against Starrick and his control of the press, brother and sister returned to Bell's laboratory where the latter told him Starrick's efforts of bribery to coax the inventor to his side. Aware of the Blighters aiming to attack him, he invented voltaic bombs which may stun assailants and offered them to the twins with insulators to protect the Assassins from harm. Suddenly, the infuriated Blighters arrived; they took this as an opportunity to test the bombs as Bell distracted them through talking.<ref name="Syndicate" />

The Assassins further aided the inventor in the telegraph station to keep Starrick from spreading false information throughout London and show people the truth about his operations by distracting the guards and defending Bell with their newly acquired weapon.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Jacob introduced himself to Starrick's cousin and fierce business competitor [[Pearl Attaway]], unaware that she was a Templar and the Grand Master's family, to discuss a business preposition. He killed an employee of Attaway's rival company, [[Millner Company]]. The pair traveled to Millner's storage yard where Jacob destroyed their enemy's omnibuses, making [[Malcolm Millner]]'s profit plummet quickly.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Soon enough, Jacob suddenly entered Attaway's carriage, obviously disregarding her request for an appointment. The businesswoman gave him a job to secure internal combustion engines being delivered to Millner. Knowing the man he needed, Jacob freed the arrested Ned Wynert from his police convoy and asked for his aid to transfer the package cargo. Climbing aboard the moving Blighters trains, the young man searched the cargo for the engines and detached its wagon for Ned's train to recover.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Attaway tasked Jacob in murdering Millner who was in the [[Thames]] with his [[Riverboats|ferry]], the only business he had left. Jacob sabotaged the contraband on the boat to lure Millner outside where he assassinated him. The dying businessman revealed that Crawford and Attaway were family and allies. Dismayed, Jacob located Attaway and overheard her conversation with Starrick that she was a Templar. Finally, he headed to the [[Waterloo station]] to assassinate Attaway, recover the engines and escaped with the train.<ref name="Syndicate" />

=== Reclaiming control of London ===
Jacob targeted the financial field of Starrick, kidnapping a man to gather intel; the man, however, was Frederick Abberline who was once again in disguise. The sergeant informed the Assassin of a planned robbery of the {{Wiki|Bank of England}}. As the information was confidential, Jacob talked him into revealing the supplier - Cockham Merchants.<ref name="Syndicate" />

He later met again with Abberline to continue their investigation. Jacob located the smuggled weapons and tailed their delivery to the Templar [[Philip Twopenny]], under the alias of Plutus. Left with no choice but to stop the heist, Jacob infiltrated the Bank of England and assassinated Twopenny, giving the dead man a coin in mockery to the man's belief. As Jacob escaped, Abberline arrested Twopenny's accomplices.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Desperate to regain control, Crawford Starrick now entered England's politics, plotting against the [[Queen Victoria]] for his own profit. As Jacob's latest exploits was to now meddle with the Parliament, Evie warned her brother of the consequences of his latest actions: the increase of fraud medicine, transportation and production problems, and the near collapse of the British currency, problems she mostly fixed.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Jacob proceeded in spying the prime minister of London with the Sinopean Club, following [[Benjamin Disraeli]] and a spy walk out from the meeting. He tackled the man, assuming it was the Templar associate "B", who told him that he was just paid by another man. He was suddenly shot in the head by a sniper. Jacob then chased the sniper, threatening to throw her off the roof to reveal information. The scared woman admitted that she did not know her employer, only giving a description of his appearance. but they were planned to attack the prime minister's carriage.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Infiltrating Disraeli's carriage, Jacob pretended to be the prime minister's bodyguard. Disraeli was suspicious of the Assassin however, unlike his wife [[Mary Anne Disraeli|Mary Anne]] who let Jacob speak. There was a sudden gunshot from outside, coming from the police and the Blighters. Jacob defended the Disraelis and chased their hijacked carriage, securing the couple's safety. Jacob then asked Mary Anne for the Templar affiliate he was searching for and the woman agreed in exchange for a tour in the Devil's Acre.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Much later, Jacob arrived at their meeting place but Mary Anne canceled the tour due to scandal-seeking journalists. The Assassin, unable to hurt the journalists, distracted them instead and returned to Mary Anne's carriage. Escaping more journalists, the pair eventually arrived in Devil's Acre and avoided the Blighters thugs in patrol. They later settled to a tavern where Mary Ann's purse, containing her dog Desmond, was stolen. After recovering the dog, Jacob returned only to find Mary Anne advising the thugs. Their misfortune was succeeded by the Blighters chasing their carriage. With the tour coming to an end, Mary Anne revealed the man Jacob was seeking for - the [[James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan|Earl of Cardigan]], and his [[Palace of Westminster|location]].<ref name="Syndicate" />

Stealthily penetrating the Palace of Westminster, Jacob eventually made his way to the earl and assassinated him. The earl called him a coward and dramatically announced his death, much to Jacob's irritation. Having done his task, Jacob escaped the palace's guards and Blighters patrol. Unbeknownst to him, his action caused major turmoil in the citizens of London, another problem Evie had to fix for him.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Moving to his next target, Jacob accepted London's biggest criminal mastermind and Templar [[Maxwell Roth]]'s invitation for dinner, who found Jacob's accomplishments magnificent. He offered the Assassin a partnership which Jacob accepted. The duo rode into the night to St. Pancras station, where Jacob blew up shipments of explosives belonging to Starrick and Co. With the explosives dealt with, Jacob went to kidnap a driver to deliver the train to Roth.<ref name="Syndicate" />

The pair continued their goal to overthrow Starrick's control over London with theft in mind. Roth explained his plan to kidnap three of the Grand Master's henchmen [[Hattie Cadwallader]], [[Benjamin Raffles]] and [[Chester Swinebourne]], a task which Jacob accomplished, delivering the trio to Roth's carriage.<ref name="Syndicate" />

However, Jacob found Roth's tactics brutal and selfish. He decided to severe the agreement after Roth's unconcern in destroying a factory with innocent laboring children inside. Jacob, opposing Roth's idea of sacrificing innocents for Starrick's downfall, refused, forcing Roth to ignite the explosives himself and Jacob save the children from the building. He was then given a letter by Roth in a form of a gift, with the corpse of Roth's pet bird inside.<ref name="Syndicate" />

To celebrate Starrick's loss and the end of Jacob's partnership, Roth called for a masquerade party in the Alhambra Music Hall. Jacob took this opportunity to assassinate the Templar and his decoys during the performance. Roth, now mad with the goal to murder his audience and Jacob, set fire to the stage. Jacob then used his blade to end Roth's life who in turn kissed Jacob, telling him his reason of killing innocents was just because he wanted to. The Assassin narrowly escaped the flaming theater.<ref name="Syndicate" />

With his sister, the Rooks eventually took control of London's boroughs, eliminating the Blighters threat with their Templar leaders [[Bloody Nora]], [[Lilla Graves]], [[Victor Lynch]], [[Octavia Plumb]], [[Cletus Strain]], and [[Edith Swinebourne]] by launching a gang war between the two rivals.<ref name="Syndicate" />

=== Assassinating Crawford Starrick ===
After assassinating Maxwell Roth, Jacob returned to Evie who scolded him with his disinterest in the Shroud and reckless planning. Evie mentioned their father, a sore topic for Jacob, and the siblings argued. Henry calmed them down and told them about a ball to be held in the [[Buckingham Palace]] where Starrick was planning to steal the Piece of Eden and eliminate the heads of church and government.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Finding this a good opportunity to assassinate Starrick, Jacob formulated a plan with Evie and invited the Disraelis to their hideout. The twins told them their need to enter the ball and offered their plan to steal their rival Gladstone's invitation, much to the Disraelis' glad approval.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Jacob then headed to the [[William Ewart Gladstone|Gladstone]]'s house to recover the invitations and eventually tracked Mrs. Gladstone and hijacked her carriage. Finding that weaponry were not allowed in the ball, Jacob asked Frederick Abberline for ideas and the latter told him to acquire the royal guards' uniform. The Assassin proceeded to the St. Martin's Church, stole one, giving it to Abberline.<ref name="Syndicate" />

The twins successfully managed to infiltrate the ball using Gladstone's carriage and invitations. Jacob sought out Frederick Abberline for their smuggled weapons. The sergeant told Jacob that Starrick had disguised his own men with the royal guards. The Assassin came to the rescue, killing all of the impostors. Afterwards, Jacob sent his sister a signal.<ref name="Syndicate" />

However, Evie lost her precursor necklace to Starrick and ordered her brother to locate the vault. Jacob made his way to the vault, finding Starrick with the Shroud. He failed to attack the Templar, instead, Starrick choked him. The vault's activated defense mechanism sent Jacob sprawling on the floor. Finally recovering, Jacob had to save his sister in return from the clutch of Starrick. After exchanging more blows with Starrick, the two of them were trapped.<ref name="Syndicate" />

Henry Green fortunately arrived, throwing a knife at the Templar. Joining the fight, Henry, too was knocked off by the Templar. Jacob and Evie continued the fight and manged to remove the Shroud and end Starrick's life. With the Templar threat gone, the rift between the siblings vanished. Jacob returned the Shroud as Evie attended at Henry's side.<ref name="Syndicate" />

A short time later, the three Assassins met with the Queen Victoria who was grateful to her saviors. The queen knighted them to her [[Order of the Sacred Garter]]. The twins then raced off to their hideout, leaving Henry behind.<ref name="Syndicate" />

===Later life===
Jacob eventually married and had at least one child, a son, who was also invested into the Assassin Order; in time, a granddaughter, Lydia Frye, was born. With Lydia’s parents often away on the continent performing missions for the Brotherhood, responsibility for Lydia’s training fell to Jacob and Evie.

At the outbreak of [[World War I|war]] in 1914, Jacob and Evie were removed to the safety of the countryside, while Lydia remained in London to protect the city from German spies and Templar agents.<ref name="LydiaFryedatabase">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' - [[Database: Lydia Frye]]</ref>

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Quote|I'm no criminal. I just do as I please.|Jacob Frye.}}
Jacob was an impulsive, reckless and rebellious individual with a quick wit and an aggressive demeanor. While he was brought up as an Assassin, he did not appear to be a fervent believer in the Creed's tenets like his sister, preferring action over philosophical thoughts and a good fight over discretion. As such, he was easily dismissive of Pieces of Eden, preferring to focus on his targets. However, complimenting his impulsive and reckless behavior, Jacob was very good at thinking on his feet, part of the reason he survived his own recklessness. Also, as a gang leader Jacob proved himself as a criminal strategist and organizer.<ref name="Syndicate" />

While "having fun" was very important to Jacob, he was not above altruistic acts and fighting for the disenfranchised. Jacob refused to allow Roth to murder children or innocent civilians.<ref name="Syndicate" />

===Equipment and skills===
{{Quote|Leave the sneaking and spying to my sister. Toss me my brass knuckles and point me to a good brawl.|Jacob Frye.}}
Having been trained by the Brotherhood from birth, Jacob was a Master Assassin adept at both stealth and combat, despite his preference for the latter. He was also a skilled [[Freerunning|Freerunner]], able to scale the tall buildings of London with relative ease.<ref name="Ubisoft">[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-US/games/assassins-creed-syndicate/jacob-frye.aspx Assassinscreed.ubi.com: Jacob Frye]</ref>

An experienced brawler, Jacob was proficient in hand-to-hand combat, using his [[brass knuckles]] for brutal take-downs. Due to the era's restriction on open weaponry, Jacob utilized an arsenal of hidden tools including his [[Hidden Blade]]s, one of which was equipped with a rope launcher – a versatile tool that he could utilize to access and scale areas quickly, as well as create [[ziplines]].<ref name="Walkthrough">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKR42Ci000k ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' Gameplay Walkthrough]</ref>

Accompanying this, the Hidden Blade was equipped with a mechanism that fired [[Poison darts|hallucinogenic darts]]; firing a dart into an open flame would result in a poisonous gas cloud, allowing Jacob to eliminate multiple enemies from a distance. Other weapons in his possession included a [[Machetes|kukri]] blade, a [[Swords|cane-sword]], a six-shot [[Firearms|revolver]] and [[throwing knives]].<ref name="Walkthrough" /><ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassin-s-creed-syndicate-story-characters-and-se/1100-6427217/ Gamespot: ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' Story, Characters and Setting]</ref>

Additionally, Jacob possessed the rare ability of [[Eagle Vision]].<ref name="Ubisoft" />

==Trivia==
*Jacob's name is of Biblical origin, with the meaning being either ''he who grasps the heel'' or ''supplanter''. Frye is a derivative of the English word ''free''.
*Jacob keeps a shilling around his neck as a memento.
*Jacob possesses a scar on his right eyebrow, as well as one on the left side of his beard.
*Jacob has a tattoo of a raven on his left collarbone and another depicting a stylized cross on the shoulder.
*Jacob is the youngest known Master Assassin, followed by his sister Evie, who is only four minutes older, and Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who was 25 when he received the title.
*Much like [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], Jacob and Evie dipped an object in their target's blood following that person's death, though where Altaïr's used a feather, the twins used a handkerchief.

Talk:Rope dart

37.191.52.119:

== The "Predator" achievement ==

The article sais this: "The "Predator" achievement could be earned by hanging five enemies with rope darts."
But it's not clear in which game. The rope dart could be used in multiple AC games, and I assume this achievement can be acquired only in ACIII.

== Chinese Rope Dart ==

As I was reading, It was a Chinese Rope Dart a nod twords Shao Jun(?) from Embers--'''[[User:Kenzen11|Kenzen]] - [[User talk:Kenzen11|Talk]] - [[User blog:Kenzen11|Blog]]''' 14:55, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

That's what's written on Game rant, but I don't think the officials confirmed it. If it was a nod to the Chinese, then the question arises, how did it reach America?[[User:IlMualim|IlMualim]] 16:01, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion, it would be nice if it was an adaptation to the Hidden Blade of sorts, learned by Connor due to meeting the Assassins in his lifetime. After all, what's stopping them from sharing information now that the New World was discovered and conflict arose.

I'd like it if it was part of the Hidden Blade, just so that it would have the excuse of being fire-able from the wrist and making up for the whole "grapple hook" suggestion that some people wanted. [[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] 21:20, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Oh god no... Just no... [[User:SupremeAssassin|''Supreme Master Assassin'']][[User_talk:SupremeAssassin|IL Mentori]] 00:42, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

== To the person who believes the 'D' in 'Dart' should not be a capital ==

Hello, I just noticed in the 'recent history' page it was said the page shouldn't have 'dart' with a capital 'D'. As it is a title the it should be 'Rope Dart' it is only words such as 'and' 'of' and 'the' that in titles are not captilized. [[Special:Contributions/94.0.109.198|94.0.109.198]] 21:14, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

:The thing is, it's not a title, it's an ordinary word. And You Don't Spell Ordinary Words Like That. :P -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] [[User talk:Master Sima Yi|Clogs]] [[w:c:marvel-cinematic-universe|Marvel Studios]] 21:15, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

:::Hello, it is the title of the page is it not? If it isn't what did you plan the title to be? [[Special:Contributions/94.0.109.198|94.0.109.198]] 21:18, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

::::Right, because you'd really capitalise "dart" anywhere else, unless it started a sentence or a title? I don't think so. And besides, do you know how pointless this argument is? [[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] 21:21, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
:::::Argument? I was just saying that in a title (as in title of a book, or an article) it should be 'Rope Dart' and not 'Rope dart' which is what the title now appears as, but okay, I will say no more of it. :) [[Special:Contributions/94.0.109.198|94.0.109.198]] 21:27, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

:Yes, but the article explicitly refers to a "rope dart" and not a person or object ''named'' "Rope Dart." You can't classify it as a title similar to a book's title or a name; it's just that, a rope dart. {{Wiki|Arc reactor|Here}} is another example of grammatically correct capitalization. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] [[User talk:Master Sima Yi|Clogs]] [[w:c:marvel-cinematic-universe|Marvel Studios]] 21:30, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
:Complete last comment on the subject I promise. 'Rope Dart' is the the heading of the page... Just like your page on the hidden blade is called 'Hidden Blade'. However, since I have been taught to do this with my titles from my early school days, I will show you this http://www.accu-assist.com/grammar-tips-archive/GrammarTip_capitalization-titles-headings.htm . As Promised no more comments from me on this, either take my advice on how headings work or do not. Take Care :) [[Special:Contributions/94.0.109.198|94.0.109.198]] 21:37, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

::The Hidden Blade is specifically capitalised because a hidden blade in concept can apply to any blade that is hidden, even by sticking a butter knife up your sleeve so that no-one can see it. In Assassin's Creed, it is referred to, in-game in fact, as the "Hidden Blade" (with capitalisations), as it is a construct that is worn on the wrist.

::However, the rope dart has only been shown in magazine articles, and its title is not seen from an in-universe perspective, so it remains as "Rope dart" until any definitive evidence can be seen. Also, what also differs the Hidden Blade to the rope dart is that the Hidden Blade is not a real mechanical construct in real life, despite being based on concepts from history, whereas the rope dart is a Chinese martial arts weapon that we can see even today.[[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] 21:47, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

:There is no "way" on how headings work. I'm well aware of capitalization being the most common, but we all chose long ago not to follow that pattern. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] [[User talk:Master Sima Yi|Clogs]] [[w:c:marvel-cinematic-universe|Marvel Studios]] 21:49, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

==Aquiring the Rope dart...==
Okay, don't chew me up, but how would Connor get his hands on a weapon known mainly from China? Sure, may be the Brotherhood experimented and came up with it, but the idea that it would show up in 1700 America seems a little off. [[User:Affectos|Affectos]] ([[User talk:Affectos|talk]]) 01:56, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

We have no idea as of yet, and please make sure to sign your posts with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. [[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] ([[User talk:Slate Vesper|talk]]) 01:53, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I hope to see more theories before the game comes out. I am still new at Wikis, so thanks also for the reminder. [[User:Affectos|Affectos]] ([[User talk:Affectos|talk]]) 01:56, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

==In "real life"==

Sorry, but what is the basis for saying "in real life" this wouldn't work, citing the target's weight or something? There are ballistic missile weapons, some of them even thrown, that they are easily able to penetrate flesh. However, the shape of the penetrator's back side prevents it from being pulled free. Take mechanical broadheads, for example, used in various forms of archery as far back as the medieval period. To top it off, there is no citation or any other information to back up this claim. All I'm saying is that the statement reeks of personal opinion and does not make sense to be on this page, even in the trivia section, especially when there is hard evidence to the contrary. --[[User:KenoSarawa|KenoSarawa]] ([[User_talk:KenoSarawa|Talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/KenoSarawa|Contribs]]) 21:35, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

From the fleeting glimpses that we've seen in the trailers and demos, the tip is a broadhead, but more along the lines of a smooth cone. Sure it could penatrate flesh, but there are two issues. A: the smooth head would slip right back out if weight were to be applied, meaning the idea that a dead body could be a counter-wieght isn't likely; and B: As far as I have seen, the rope dart of ancient china was a swung weapon, not thrown with the accuracy that Connor has displayed. [[User:Affectos|Affectos]] ([[User talk:Affectos|talk]]) 00:09, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

==In open combat or parcour==
I just wonder if the rope darts can be used in combat in any way (like Aveline's whip) or in parcour? Is there any information on this? [[User:Fanina|Fanina]] ([[User talk:Fanina|talk]]) 10:32, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

::Yes, it can be used in a manner similar to Scorpion, watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNUMw8lhUkw&feature=g-u-u this] video. [[User:Lucan07|'''Lucan''''''07''']][[User talk:Lucan07|''Talk'']] 10:35, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
::I am sorry, but generally I dont snob on grammar, but it's parkour*
::With that out of the way, you ever played Mortal Kombat? that is exactly the Rope Dart. They alsos aid it will be more of a ''tool'' than a weapon. {{User:The Joker~/sig}} 10:37, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I have read somewhere that you can not use it in parkour. Don't remember where, but you can kill people on horses with it.--[[User:ACsenior|ACsenior]] ([[User talk:ACsenior|talk]]) 10:42, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

From Q&A:

What are the different weapons Edward will be using on his missions?

Edward’s main arsenals are the dual swords and multi-pistols. The multi-pistols are a tool that can be combined with any other weapon to have insane kill counts. Besides this Edward also gets a blowpipe with multiple effect darts, the double hidden blades (AC classic) and is able to use all the weapons enemies carry (Rifles, single sword, knives and Heavy Axe). The Rope Dart will also make a return.--[[User:ACsenior|ACsenior]] ([[User talk:ACsenior|talk]]) 20:43, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

==Rope Dart Easter Egg?!==
Don't you think that the rope dart looks a bit like Scorpions Kunai from Mortal Kombat?

==No title==
Chain Blade was the original concept for the rope dart, but it was ruled to be insufficiently realistic. That said, the Kusari-Gama, Kyoketsu-Shoge, Kusari-Fundo, or any other oriental chain weapon. The Kusari-Gama, specifically, could be used as both primary and secondary weapon (like the rifles you can pick up), with low damage/combos, more effective/forgiving counters/disarms/break mechanics, and rope dart functions without the ammo usage. Hanging someone from above with a chain weapon is also significantly more realistic than expecting a rope dart to reliably hold. Not saying I have a problem with the rope dart. Just saying that if they wanted something like the "chain blade", the Kyoketsu-Shoge is suitable for the purpose, as is the Kusari-Gama.

== Predator move and ledge hanging uncharacteristically unrealistic ==

Don't misunderstand me, I think they're neat, but they are animated as strangulation kills, and it's not a noose or rope around the target's neck, but a dart in the back. [[User:Jasonnorthrup|Jasonnorthrup]] ([[User talk:Jasonnorthrup|talk]]) 15:06, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
