Dual-wielding was a form of combat, wherein one used a pair of weapons in conjunction with one another. This was often to allow an easy shift between long and short-ranged attacks.
History
Assassins of the High Middle Ages were able to dual-wield throwing knives alongside the short blade.[1] However, during the Renaissance, Ezio Auditore da Firenze was able to dual-wield multiple kinds of weapons.[2]
Other than the throwing knives and short blade pair, Ezio could also wield the Hidden Gun with any primary, medium-ranged weapon - such as swords and maces - and poison darts with the poison blade.[2] He could also dual-wield a variety of bombs with his primary weapon.[3]
Only a few enemies, such as the Papal Guard, Cesare Borgia,[2] and the Janissaries,[3] were able to dual-wield; using a short pistol alongside a longsword in combat.[2]
During the American Revolutionary War, Connor Kenway was able to dual-wield weapons as Ezio had, though he could use two similarly ranged weapons (such as the short blade and tomahawk) together.[4]
