Ranged Weapons

Learn how to effectively use Ranged Poison, the Wrist Gun, Throwing Knives, and the Crossbow in Assassin's Creed Revelations to tackle tough enemies and optional objectives.

Alright, let's talk about making Ezio's ranged tools work for you in Assassin's Creed Revelations. These aren't just for show; they can seriously help you out, especially with those tricky optional objectives.

Ranged Poison and the Wrist Gun

First up, Ranged Poison. Think of this as your silent killer for those lone, high-risk targets. It's super handy for making optional objectives a breeze, so try to keep it stocked whenever you can. The Wrist Gun does a similar job, but it's definitely louder. Its ammo is a bit cheaper, so don't hesitate to use it to thin out enemy crowds during big fights.

Good news is, you'll regularly loot both poison and Wrist Gun ammo right off the guards you take down.

Throwing Knives

Throwing Knives have a really cool trick: you can charge them up to take out up to three enemies at once. This isn't just for fun, either – doing this is actually required to snag a specific Trophy or Achievement called 'Silent but deadly'. You'll need to kill three guards simultaneously using only throwing knives for that 20-point reward.

Crossbow

Honestly, the Crossbow might be the best purchase you can make in the game. Yeah, it's pricey, but it makes some seriously tough sections, like the Yerebatan Cistern, way more manageable. Plus, it's even effective if you get caught in a melee fight!
