It says in the article that the crossbow was removed from Assassin's Creed due to historical inaccuracies. Please tell me what they are? Crossbows did exist during the Third Crusade. [[Special:Contributions/130.113.220.152|Firebat11 19:47, July 5, 2010 (UTC)]]
They did, but I don't think the Hashashashin used them during that time. FPS_Headhunter LASER GUNS BEW BEW!!!! :D 19:53, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
Granted, but historical accuracy isn't exactly a tenant of these games. I've never seen a hidden blade before (despite how cool it is), and there was no way a hidden gun existed either during this time period. They simply didn't have the technology. It should have been included. Firebat11 20:07, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
I know, but the 2 development teams were different. The development team for the original AC probably wanted historical perfection while the AC2 development team wanted it to be historically accurate but with a few fictional components in it.

I dont know why people in this website overlooked this, but the cross bow is in Assassin's Creed. to acquire it you need to play through the game three times on one difficulty.98.156.52.243 13:50, January 10, 2011 (UTC)guest
- Actually, the tecnology for the hidden gun did exist. There are evidences of firearms even during the middle ages, they only never appeared so small. The only problem with the hidden gun would be the range of the weapon and the subsequent lower damages at greater distances.
About the crosbows, they really existed during the Third Crusade, but they were big, heavy, two-handed timber mechanisms prone to failures, and not small lightweighted backpacked support weapons like originally intended. -- D.

- I wish people would stop making up BS about the crossbow being in the first game. Ubisoft have said that it is not in the game, so no one is going to believe you. YourFace180 15:32 January 23, 2010
Assassinations with the crossbow?[]
I've just started a playthrough of Brotherhood and wanted to know whether the crossbow can be used for assassinations (one shot one kill, even for assassination targets). I haven't picked up a crossbow yet in my playthrough. To anyone who knows the answer, I think this would be pretty valuable information for those reading the wiki. --CasualGamer 07:27, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
The Crossbow will usually kill anyone in one bolt. In fact, the only people i've seen that didn't die after eating a bolt to the fache were the brutes. So yeah, if you shoot the crossbow at a lone dude it won't count as a detection, because he'll die (unlike the throwing knives, where in between the time of the first and second knife, you will be detected even if he's the last or only guard in the area Mrbear420 16:16, May 25, 2011 (UTC))
