Hunting is the practice of tracking and killing wildlife for various purposes, such as the collection of meat or skins, as well as ingredients for the Crafting of items.
Caribbean Sea
During the Golden Age of Piracy, the Assassin Edward Kenway and other pirates tracked and hunted whales for various purposes, such as meat and oil production.[1]
North America
Hunting was a fundamental part of the culture for the Native North Americans and European colonists, with the activity becoming a common source of contact between them. It provided food for isolated towns in the Frontier, and was a lucrative way to make money at general stores. Colonization in the Frontier increased partially because of demand in England and France for fur pelts. In 1770, several trappers, including Simon Girty, founded the New England Hunting Society, which provided cabins for hunters to share during hunting season.[2]
Though animals could be hunted in a variety of ways, the quality of the kill affected the price one could fetch for the skin. For an animal killed with a single strike from a bow or blade, the skin had a higher economic value, since bullets from a firearm or the rope dart would damage the pelt.[2]
Edward's grandson, Connor hunted animals similarly to assassination targets, tracking and trapping several kinds that he encountered across the Frontier. As a member of the Kanien'kehá:ka, he respected nature. He would kneel next to the carcass of a fallen prey and say "Niá:wen", which translates into "thank you", before skinning it.[2]
He eventually joined the New England Hunting Society, which had become a club for hunters to boast about their kills. By hunting infamous animals like King Edward the Elk, and threats to settlers like a man-eating bear, Connor was rewarded with mementos for his bedroom at the Davenport Homestead after completion.[2]
The following animals could be hunted in the Frontier and the Davenport Homestead:
- Predators
- Prey
Trivia
- If a predator killed another animal, that animal could not be skinned; however if another character killed an animal, it could be skinned, though the spoils would be damaged.
- While in the Animus, if Desmond Miles killed too many animals without skinning them as Connor did, it would cause him to desynchronize.
