"It seems some kind of...arma da fuoco."
―Leonardo da Vinci

The Pistol is one of the upgrades invented by Leonardo da Vinci on the wrist device (Hidden Blade) of Ezio in Assassin's Creed II.

Usage

The hidden gun is used for long ranged kills, as well as assassinating your targets (whereas in the first game, only the hidden blade could be used for assassinating your targets). It isn't stealthy, using it near a group of guards will likely attract attention, however it is a one shot kill. The downside, it takes a good deal of time to aim (it can be used without aiming, but you will most likely miss even at close range); the aiming consists of four lines converging together and accuracy depends on how long you spend aiming. Aiming the gun around guards will make them suspicious.

The special attack of the hidden gun does nothing noticeable,and does nothing at all against large groups of guards. Against one or two guards, aiming the gun for more than two seconds after it is locked will cause them to lose morale and flee. This does not work against Brutes.

The Hidden Gun does not work as "one shot kills" when battling against Rodrigo Borgia.

The Gun, along with the Throwing Knives, are sometimes disabled while in the Assassin's Tombs, this may be to stop the player shooting any guards that they must chase, therefore skipping large sections of narrative.

Trivia

  • Altair is the true designer of the hidden gun, as Leonardo just decodes his codex. Altair claims he has invented a smaller version of the weapon his enemies from the east have.
  • It seems that when you fire the gun, a dog starts barking, this happens every time you fire it.
  • Strangely, you can find bullets on the bodies of guards although they aren't in possession of a pistol.
