The Metal Cestus was a weapon that the Assassin Ezio Auditore wore to increase the damage he dealt during fistfights. It consisted of a leather glove lined with metal plates.
Description
The Metal Cestus originated from the ancient Roman Empire, where gladiators used weapons similar to the Cestus in arena fights.[1]
After being purchased from any of the Blacksmiths for 2,000 florins, the Cestus granted Ezio a slight advantage in Beat Up events, as well as any other situations that involved unarmed fighting.[1]
Climb Leap Glove
- "Now nothing will be out of my reach."
- ―Ezio getting the Climb Leap Glove from Leonardo da Vinci.[src]
A further upgrade to the Cestus called the Climb Leap Glove could be bought from Leonardo da Vinci upon Ezio's arrival in Rome.[2]
Aside from granting the same advantages to damage and speed, it also returned the Climb Leap ability previously taught to Ezio by Rosa, which he became unable to perform unassisted after being injured during the Fall of Monteriggioni.[2]

Trivia
- The Metal Cestus will be automatically equipped when purchased, and cannot be unequipped.
- It is the only weapon Ezio can use during his fight against Rodrigo Borgia in front of the Vatican Vault.
- At the beginning of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, when Ezio is wearing the Armor of Altaïr, the Metal Cestus is not present. This is also the case for most outfits, and in the Armor of Brutus.
- Purchasing the Climb Leap Glove before the secondary hidden blade will affix the metal plating directly onto Ezio's fingers.
- A similar effect can be achieved by replaying any sequence where the Armor of Brutus is worn, then re-equipping another set of armor.
- In the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood novel, it is said that the glove that Leonardo sells to Ezio would improve his climbing abilities to that of a gecko.
- Even though it is the Climb Leap Glove in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood it is still reffered to as the Metal Cestus in your inventory
