Mary Read giving a blowpipe to Edward Kenway

The blowpipe was a weapon that was used by Assassins such as Edward Kenway and Aveline de Grandpré.

Used as a silent and deadly weapon, the blowpipe functioned in a similar way to poison darts. Edward obtained a blowpipe from Mary Read during a slave raid on the Assassin camp on Tulum, and made use of non-lethal berkserk and sleep darts.

Berserk darts would cause a target to attack anyone within close range, including guards, animals and Edward himself. Sleep darts would cause targets to be knocked out for a short amount of time, allowing Edward to sneak past unnoticed.

Aveline's blowpipe contained lethal and berserk darts. The weapon first belonged to the Assassin François Mackandal, before it was passed down to Aveline by her Mentor, Agaté. While disguised in her lady persona, Aveline made use of a parasol gun, given to her by Gérald Blanc, which contained a mechanism similar to the blowpipe.[1]
