'''Ziplines''' were ropes stretched between two structures that, when used in conjunction with the [[hookblade]] or [[tomahawk]], allowed an [[Assassins|Assassin]] to quickly navigate the city, or attack an enemy from above.<br />
<br />
The speed of travel across a zipline could be controlled, based on the position of the user. Tucking one's limbs, thus lessening drag, could permit one to slide along the line more quickly.<br />
<br />
== Constantinople ==<br />
As they were common around [[Constantinople]], ziplines were often used by the [[Turkish Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]]. Upon establishing [[Assassin Dens]] in certain districts, they would set up more ziplines in the area, to allow faster navigation. Equally knowing this, [[Byzantines]] would attempt to destroy the ziplines whenever they captured any dens.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref><br />
<br />
An Assassin was also able to use a zipline for an offense advantage, and could drop from them to perform air assassinations on enemies in the streets, or on a lower rooftop.<br />
<br />
Additionally, should an enemy be standing at the end of a zipline, an Assassin could also use the momentum of traveling along the line to kill him, or knock him down.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
*Ziplines could be jumped onto at any point along the line.<br />
*[[Parachutes|Parachuting]] onto a zipline was required to unlock the "Show Off" [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations Achievements|achievement]].<br />
*On rare occasions, Byzantines could still be seen trying to destroy ziplines, even if Constantinople was completely under the Assassin control.<br />
*The starting pole of most ziplines had the [[Assassin insignia]] and a white flag on the top.<br />
*The Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] used a variant of the zipline to infiltrate [[Fort Wolcott]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref><br />
**If a knife is equiped instead of a tomahawk, the knife simply seems to stick to the side of the rope, resulting in an hilarious glitch.<br />
