Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Despite being modeled after the blunderbuss, the Pirate Blunderbusses lack the gameplay mechanics of blunderbusses and instead function as regular pistols. This is because the blunderbuss as a gameplay class of weapons was not introduced in the Assassin's Creed series until the release of the downloadable expansion Freedom Cry.
- When fired, the Pirate Blunderbusses produce the distinctive cannon-like crack associated with the Blunderbuss for the first three shots. However, the sound reverts to that of the regular flintlock pistol shot on the fourth and final shot.
