Trivia
- A number of two-handed swords appear in Assassin's Creed: Unity, but they are all haphazardly designated claymore, long sword, bastard sword, great sword etc. without distinction, resulting in every greatsword being mislabelled. As a result, neither the Claymore nor the Great Claymore in the game are proper claymores, being zweihänders instead. The only actual claymore is the Long Sword—also erroneously named.
