Improvised weapon
Improvised weapons are devices that were originally not designed for use in combat but could still be put to good use as weapons.
During the Renaissance, such weapons could be wielded by the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze and made additional options for armed combat alongside the more conventional weapons including swords, maces, spears, halberds or heavy weapons.
All of the improvised weapons could be picked up in a similar fashion to other one-handed weapons. They were often carried and used by civilians, who would drop them once Ezio gently pushed or ran into them, when a fight commenced or if money was thrown near them.
These weapons could not normally be kept and were usually discarded as soon as a fight was finished or if Ezio began free running.
