Operating Instructions

Assassin's Creed III introduces new gameplay mechanics and an expansive open world. Familiarize yourself with the controls and features to master the art of assassination.

Gameplay Overview

As a Native American assassin, you will utilize a variety of weapons including guns, bows, and tomahawks. The game features a dynamic environment, from bustling city streets to chaotic battlefields, allowing you to play a critical role in historical events like the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Great Fire of New York.

Combat System

The combat system emphasizes dual-handed fighting, allowing you to wield two weapons simultaneously. You will have continuous access to tools like pistols and your core weapon (e.g., hidden blade). New combat features include counter-attacks and the ability to use enemies as human shields against firing lines. Different enemy archetypes require varied strategies.

Navigation and Movement

Explore the vast open world with enhanced navigation. Connor can fluidly traverse forests, cliffs, and uneven surfaces. Tree navigation is a new addition, allowing for seamless movement through natural environments. The game world features two distinct weather seasons, winter and summer, with winter affecting gameplay by slowing movement and encouraging climbing.

Hunting and Wildlife

The wilderness is home to over two dozen different animal species. The bow is a primary tool for hunting. Some prey species provide valuable items for trade or quest objectives. Be aware that some animals, such as wolves, can also pose threats and require combat.

Crowd Interaction and Side Quests

Crowds are an integral part of the Assassin's Creed universe, reacting specifically to your actions. They can also be sources of opportunities, such as receiving side quests from characters like a medicine man or completing tasks by delivering hunted meat.

Assassination Techniques

Connor can assassinate enemies using all available tools and weapons. New abilities include running assassinations and jumping assassinations, allowing for dynamic and fluid takedowns. Utilize the environment, such as exploding barrels, to your advantage.
