Dual-wielding is a form of combat, wherein one uses a pair of weapons in conjunction with one another. This is often to allow an easy shift between long and short-ranged attacks.
History
Assassins of the High Middle Ages only dual-wielded throwing knives alongside a short blade.[1] However, during the Renaissance, Ezio Auditore da Firenze was able to dual-wield multiple combinations of weapons.[2]
Other than the throwing knives and short blade pair, Ezio 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] In his time in Constantinople, Ezio could also dual-wield a variety of bombs with his primary weapon.[3]

During the American Revolutionary War, Connor Kenway would always dual-wield his weapons in combat,[4] using combinations such as a tomahawk alongside his flintlock pistol.[5]
However, unlike Ezio, Connor was able to use two similarly ranged weapons (such as the Hidden Blade and tomahawk) together.[5]
Only a few enemies, such as Papal guards, Cesare Borgia,[2] and the Janissaries,[3] were able to dual-wield; using a short pistol alongside a longsword in combat.[2]
