Metal Cestus
The Metal Cestus is an upgrade to Ezio's fists weapon slot. It can be purchased from any blacksmith. When equipped, it will boost the damage of fists from 1 to 3. It will be automatically equipped when purchased, and cannot be unequipped. The Metal Cestus upgrade will give you a slight advantage for Beat Up events, and other missions that involve unarmed fighting. A particularly useful moment to equip the Metal Cestus is on the last level against Rodrigo Borgia, wherein you are disarmed of all weapons except the Metal Cestus. The origin of this weapon is the ancient Roman Empire, where gladiators used weapons similar to the Cestus in arena fights.
The Metal Cestus is the only small weapon you can have equipped along with another small weapon, though they can't be used together.
On Assassin's Creed Brotherhood when the armour glitch is performed (re-playing memory 4 sequence 2 with brutus or romulus armour equiped then purchasing the spualders from a blacksmith should remove all amour execpt the spualders) The Metal Cestus glove will be removed but the metal on it will remain on Ezio's hand. Making it look like the metal is attached to his hand.
