While the assassins in Assassin's Creed games usually wield the Hidden Blade, there has also been a wide assortment of other gadgets introduced over the years. Assassin's Creed 3 gave players an ax, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag equipped them with numerous pistols, and Ezio had many unique tools at his disposal throughout his three entries. Wherever the franchise goes, tools themed after the region and period in which the game is set seem to follow. With Assassin's Creed Shadows, that continues to hold true.
