The arquebusiers were firearm-wielding soldiers who served and protected the pontiff during their tenure. Though their range is not quite as far as that of Crossbowmen, each shot causes more damage. Like all other guards, the colors of their uniform indicate their allegiances, with red marking them as soldiers of the Borgia, and blue as of the French forces. Similarly to Papal Guards, they are more often encountered during story missions.
In 1499, armored arquebusiers under the command of Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI, participated in the assault on Monteriggioni, where one arquebusier managed to wound Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the shoulder and the chest during the latter stages of the assault.[1]
