AC3 Frontier Overlook

Overlook of the Frontier

The Frontier was a location generated by the Animus, representing the areas in the North American countryside visited by Haytham Kenway and Ratonhnhaké:ton.

During the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War, the countryside of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey was slowly settled by colonial hunters and traders as the fur pelts of American animals were in high demand in England and France.

Regions

The Frontier was split into twelve hunting grounds, each containing four different types of wildlife:

Black Creek

Located at the most north-western area of the Frontier, Black Creek contained hares, cougars, elk and bobcats. It contained Fort Duquesne in Pennsylvania, and the Grand Temple in Turin, New York.
