When it comes to shooting and hunting, what weapons will Connor have available?

In the new combat system you always have a tool equipped because even though there are guns, they're all terrible guns. They're all one-shot pistols. We didn't want you fumbling with the UI or changing weapons all the time. You can fluidly move between your close combat weapons and your tools and back and forth. We hope there's a lot of choice in player expression.

Can you give us an example of how historical events like the Battle of Bunker Hill will fit into what people experience when they're playing the game?

Historically, I think it's a blessing and a curse in that we have more information about this period than any of the other periods we've tackled. We know where the founding fathers were almost hourly through the entirety of the revolution, so we can be very specific about some things. There are a lot of moments in the game like Bunker Hill, where you're present at these big historical events that we're trying very hard to recreate as accurately as possible, but obviously you have a side activity there. You're not there to fight the Battle of Bunker Hill. You're there to assassinate a man.

How do historical characters figure into the storyline that you're telling?
