飞刀

A set of throwing knives

飞刀是一种投掷武器，这种小型的刀刃能够在一定距离外悄无声息地击杀无护甲的士兵和屋顶的哨兵。许多刺客都曾使用这种武器来击伤或暗杀敌人。

历史

中世纪

阿泰尔使用飞刀攻击一名弓箭手

中世纪的刺客们一旦达到了第四个等级，便被允许佩戴和使用飞刀。在当时，飞刀似乎是除袖剑外最为致命的武器，能一击杀死除圣殿骑士成员之外的大多数敌人。

如果一名刺客的飞刀用完了，那么他可以通过扒窃，从暴徒身上获得5把飞刀——又或者在格斗中击败对方，获得1把飞刀。当然，返回刺客分部和马斯亚夫时，也可以获得飞刀补给。

在阿泰尔达到一定的职级后，可以解锁新的飞刀带，每个飞刀带都能让他多携带5把飞刀。这些飞刀带分别佩戴在他的腰部（4级时解锁）、左腿（7级时解锁）和右肩上（10级时解锁）。

文艺复兴时期

艾齐奥向萨佛纳罗拉投掷飞刀

文艺复兴时期的刺客们也使用飞刀，但多数时候单把飞刀已经无法直接杀死敌人了，这也许是由于高级的卫兵已经装备了更好的护具。但作为补偿，艾齐奥最多能携带25把飞刀，全部藏在腰间。

飞刀可以在任何城市的铁匠铺中以每把50佛洛林的价格买到，而在裁缝店可以买到容量更大的飞刀带。

明朝

明朝的中国刺客邵君也装备飞刀，用以刺杀、干扰敌人、切割绳索或是移动障碍物。

18世纪的加勒比海

在18世纪，爱德华·肯维能够使用从敌人那儿取得的匕首作战，偶尔也会将其作为飞刀使用。但他并不会携带多余的匕首或飞刀，因为他更喜欢使用枪、吹管和绳镖。

爱德华在缺少弹药时会使用飞刀，因为飞刀可以在扔出后被重新捡起，反复使用，所以有时他也会可以保留飞刀。他在战斗中遭遇持匕首的侦察兵时，也能将对方缴械，进而把匕首作为飞刀掷出进行反击击杀，

殖民美洲

在殖民时期的北美殖民地，刺客能使用一把飞刀作为无声的远距离刺杀武器，但通常来说，只有潜行者会这么做，这些人受到的训练让他们能藏匿在普通市民之中，但也因此不能公开携带武器。

在针对殖民地刺客的大清洗之后，拉通哈盖图被招募进了组织，着手进行重建工作，飞刀再一次出现在刺客的兵工厂中。拉通哈盖图自己会携带几把涂了剧毒的飞刀，以便悄无声息地杀死敌人。

印度环刃

At the end of the Sikh Empire, the Assassin Arbaaz Mir was a known user of chakrams, a throwing weapon from India. A circular piece of steel with a sharpened outer edge which came in various sizes, a chakram, while primarily a throwing weapon, could also be used in hand-to-hand combat.

维多利亚时期的伦敦

During the Victorian era where weaponry was restricted, Assassins such as the twins Jacob and Evie Frye employed throwing knifes for discreet kills and as a distraction tool.

现代

In Abstergo Industries, throwing knives served as an ability that its recruits could use while training in their respective Animi. However, the knives used were always non-lethal, and could only temporarily slow down or unbalance an opponent.

By 2015, the modern Assassins used kunai-like knives in their arsenal, with the only difference being that they are shaped like the ones Altaïr used, as is seen during the mission of recovering the Shroud of Eden, where a throwing knife is thrown into Juhani Otso Berg's hand.

高级用法

艾齐奥最初只能一次投掷一把飞刀，但在蒙特里久尼接受战斗训练之后，他很快学会了同时攻击多名敌人的飞刀技巧。

这种特殊攻击技能让艾齐奥能在战斗中一次投掷三把飞刀，非常有效地消灭三名敌人。尽管需要一定的时间来瞄准和准备，这种立即击杀多个目标的技能依旧很受重视。

后来，艾齐奥来到了罗马并成为了刺客大师，此时的他能在不被发现的状态下同时投掷多枚飞刀，数量取决于攻击范围内敌人的数量。

而在那之后，艾齐奥学会了飞刀与短刀的双持作战，就像阿泰尔一样。这让他能够轻松地在近距离战斗和远距攻击之间切换。

琐闻趣事

Assassin's Creed

• During the Animus loading sequence in Assassin's Creed, the player could select the throwing knives and throw an infinite number of them.
• On the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed, the achievement "Eagle's Eye" could be unlocked by killing 75 guards with throwing knives.
• There was a glitch after unlocking the short blade for the first time. In the Animus loading sequence, the player could use throwing knives even if they had not yet been unlocked.

刺客信条2

• When not locked onto a target, Ezio would throw a knife in the last direction he walked toward. Certain targets would not run unless Ezio entered a particular zone around them. If Ezio remained out of this zone and threw knives using the described method, he could easily kill the target.
• 在用完飞刀后，可以看到埃齐奥飞刀包里仍有飞刀。

其他

• 在《刺客信条：血缘》中，飞刀的设计发生了改变。在第一部游戏中，飞刀只是普通的刀片，但在《血缘》中，出现了圆柱形的刀柄和菱形的刀刃。
• 在罗马，罗德里格·博吉亚掷出的飞刀差点杀死了乔瓦尼·奥迪托雷。
• Giovanni Auditore only carried two throwing knives, on his chest, and it is unexplained if this was due to his preference, or to his skill (or lack thereof) with the weapon.
• In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, regardless of the throwing knife capacity of the knife belt, there was no visible knife belt present.
  • Oddly, the knife belt only appeared when the character was in a state of loading (such as when Ezio glowed white during an armor switch or clothes dyeing), or within the Animus Virtual Training Program.
