There are four weapon categories in Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD. AC Liberation is not extremely rich with weapons, but still there are quite some that you can choose from. Every weapon can be bought in any armoury, some items can be purchased from smugglers. There may be some limitations at first because you will have to complete some side tasks or gain collectibles to unlock specific weapons. Connor’s Tomahawk however can only be unlocked on Uplay for 20 Uplay Units.
Weapons that you can equip depends on a persona that you are currently changed into. Some weapons can only be wielded by assassin’s persona, some have different adaptations for every persona in the game (like the parasol gun with berserk poison and fast poison darts).
Small weapons
Small weapons are quite fast and fun to kill with. These can be used by assassin’s and slave’s personas both:
- Sugarcane machete
- Hatchet
- Hook Axe
- Kuba
- Chimbuya Axe
- Connor’s Tomahawk
Normal weapons
Normal weapons can be equipped by assassin’s persona only. Which is reasonable since how would the lady look like carrying a huge axe around (if you happen to lift such axe from the ground while being a lady, you will be challenged by the guards and your notoriety will increase). Normal weapons include:
- Sword
- Officer’s Short Sword
- Cuttoe Sword
- Machete
- Hanger Sword
- Cutlass
- Colichemarde
- Heavy Cavalry Sword
- Naval Axe
- Boarding Axe
- Obsidian Axe
- Macuahuitl (which is the weirdest thing you can carry around here, looks like you are literally running around with a plank in your hands, and no satisfaction in fighting with it. Actually it makes quite easy for the guards to disarm you).
Supplies
Aveline can equip and use supplies being any of the three personas. Supplies can be bought in any weapons shop or from smugglers. However, it is way cheaper to just loot the guards that you kill. In a really small amount of time you will be well supplied. Supplies in Assassin’s Creed Liberation include:
- Cartridges
- Fast Poison Darts
- Berserk Poison Darts (personal favorite: I like watching my enemies kill one another and only to step in when there is not many people left)
- Smoke Bombs (I can never understand why im not affected by a smoke bomb (physics not found) but they are definitely very useful asset)
Pistols
Most pistols can only be used by Aveline when she is wearing an Assassin’s outfit. The pistols vary by the magazine type and short and long distance damage. Choose according to your preferences.
- Queen Anne Pistol
- Dual Pistols
- Dueling Pistol
- Double-Barreled Pistol
- Pepperbox Pistol
One pistol can be equipped by Slave and Lady personas:
- Pocket Pistol
Weapons vary and their specifics will show which ones are the best for chain killing or combos, also their speed and damage properties. Choose the ones that are most likely to fit your fighting style. Oh and don't forget that AC Liberation equips you with a whip, which is a great addition in my opinion.
