This modification was requested by an apprentice of Ezio, Francesco Vecellio, as Ezio had not allowed him to carry a Hidden Gun of his own. Įzio aiming the Hidden Gun in ConstantinopleĪround 1503, Leonardo also created an alternative to the Hidden Gun called the Hidden Bolt, which could fire small crossbow bolts instead of bullets. These darts shared the effects of the Poison Blade, allowing him to quietly kill targets from a distance.
THE HIDDEN MOVIE GUN UPGRADE
AdvancementsĪfter reuniting with Leonardo da Vinci in Rome in 1502, Ezio was able to purchase an upgrade to his Hidden Gun that allowed him to fire small poison darts from it, in addition to bullets. It allowed him to seamlessly switch between short and long ranged combat in battle, using the Hidden Gun with his left and a sword with his right. Įzio also gained the ability to dual-wield the Hidden Gun alongside a medium, primary weapon, such as a sword or warhammer. Though perfect aim was achieved much more quickly, the bullet could only be fired after Ezio had completely focused on a guard while using the weapon. Some time before the siege of Monteriggioni in 1500, the aiming method of the Hidden Gun had been modified, no longer requiring a trigger pull to be fired.

The Hidden Gun dual-wielded with the sword in combatĪiming the Hidden Gun within guards' lines of sight would automatically make them suspicious and when in combat against a small number of guards, aiming it for several seconds would also cause the group to lose morale and eventually flee, though this tactic was ineffective against Brutes. However, firing immediately without aiming was not advisable, as even at close range, it was highly unlikely to result in a hit. The Hidden Gun took around a second and a half to completely aim, though it could be fired before a shot had been fully focused. In modern times, the Hidden Gun was one of the rendered abilities granted to the participants of Abstergo Industries' Animi Training Program, where the weapon could be used by the recruits in their training sessions. Ezio initially only carried six bullets at a time, though he could hold up to twelve after purchasing pouches from a tailor. ĭuring the Renaissance, ammunition was easier to come by, and could be looted from dead guards or purchased from any blacksmith, though they were relatively expensive. Ezio went on to notably use it during the assassination of Marco Barbarigo in Venice, masking the sound of the device with the fireworks of Carnevale, an annual festival that the Italian city held. After Leonardo da Vinci translated the page with the Hidden Gun's design, he created the weapon for use by Ezio Auditore. Īltaïr later recorded his designs in his personal journal, which eventually came to be known as the Codex. There, he spoke briefly to Abbas Sofian of the things he had learned from the Apple, "Of life and death, of the past and the future." After stating that he would show him, Altaïr shot Abbas with the Hidden Gun, resulting in the latter's death. The first known time that Altaïr made use of the Hidden Gun was in Masyaf, after his return from exile. However, ammunition for the Hidden Gun was scarce, so he went on to refine a combustible powder that could be manufactured from common ingredients. In the early 13th century, during his experimentation with the Apple of Eden, the Assassin Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was able to miniaturize the design of a standard firearm into a "fiery weapon" small enough to be concealed on the wrist. It is capable of grievous damage – even from great distance." ―Altaïr's Codex, page 28. "We have found a way to alter the structure of the hidden blade so that it can be used to launch small projectiles.
