Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style. |
The Crossbow is a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles[1] and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.[2] It was originally seen in the introduction for the first Assassin's Creed,[3] but was not included due to historical inaccuracies. However, for unknown reasons, it was still featured in Altaïr's Chronicles and the Gameloft mobile version of Assassin's Creed.
After being spotted in concept art and being mentioned in the E3 2010 Single-Player walkthrough, Jean Francois Boivin confirmed that long-ranged weapons, such as the crossbow, would be available for use in Brotherhood, especially in advanced horse combat. Some guard archetypes (such as the Crossbowman) will also have the crossbow as a weapon. Ezio and his apprentices
will be able to use the crossbow only as a counter tactic in melee combat, similar to the hidden blade in the first Assassin's Creed. The player may still shoot enemies during close-range combat, but this is an unpreferred tactic, as the crossbow has a slow reloading speed during combat, unlike the pistol.
The maximum amount of ammo Ezio can carry in his quiver is 25 bolts, which are purchasable from blacksmiths. The way the crossbow is fired is similar to the pistol used in Assassin's Creed II, though having a faster aim (equal to the increased aiming speed of the pistol in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood) and having the ability to move around and be on beams while targeting; wherein locking onto an enemy and holding the Armed Hand button causes diamond markings to close in and form a white line as the weapon is aimed. In shops, the cost of a crossbow is 12,800 florins. After purchasing it, you will be able to upgrade the quivers of the crossbow.
