Dual-wielding was a form of combat, using two weapons in conjunction with one another; often allowing the easy shift between long and short-ranged attacks.
Assassins of the High Middle Ages were able to dual-wield throwing knives alongside the short blade.[1] However, during the Renaissance, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze was able to dual-wield multiple kinds of weapons.[2]
Other than the throwing knives and short blade pair, he could also wield the Hidden Gun with any primary, medium-ranged weapon - such as swords and maces - and poison darts with the poison blade.[2] He could also dual-wield a variety of bombs with his primary weapon.[3]
Only a few enemies, such as the Papal Guard, Cesare Borgia, and the Janissaries,[3] were able to dual-wield; using a pistol alongside a longsword in combat.[2]
