The blowpipe was a weapon that was used by Assassins such as Edward Kenway and Aveline de Grandpré, as well as the Guardians that lived on Long Bay.
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 berserk and sleep darts.
Berserk darts would cause a target to attack anyone within close range, including guards, animals and Edward himself, for a short period of time. As soon as said period came to an end, the target would die. Sleep darts would cause targets to be knocked out for a short amount of time, allowing Edward to sneak past unnoticed. Both types of blowpipe darts could be used to cancel out the effects of the other.
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]
