Attention Abstergo Weapon Shoppers

[ABXantos]

When purchasing weapons for your characters, I would like to let you all know that you should probably save your abstergo credits when purchasing new things for any and all of your characters.

Gold (Favorite) Weapons are the ONLY weapon sets for each characters that contain unique animations. all other White/Grey weapons that you can purchase with any characters contain only generic loading and kill animations.

I tested this with the Renegade (since all of his stuff is free and only needs a level requirement) after just reaching Prestige Rank 2 on my UK Account and selected his Prestige Rank 2 Dagger.

Sadly I found out after play testing it that his dagger uses the same animations as those used by the regular daggers that can be purchased for other characters (includes the starting daggers for the Thespian and Trickster but their GOLD daggers have character unique animations)

in order to confirm this theory, I bought the Sentinels Prestige dagger only to find out his kill animations are the same as the generic ones.

Now regarding the Gold/Favorite Weapons, yes each character's set of gold weapons does indeed give you unique kill animations, HOWEVER both Gold #1 and #2 share the exact same character exclusive animations.

I Had purchased both Gold Weapon sets for the Sentinel Trickster and Thespian only to find that both weapons have the same animations. So to avoid wasting my credits I only started purchasing Gold #2 for all of my characters and bypassing Gold #1 all together to save credits for other customizations I may want.

So I advise everyone that if you are looking forward to some awesome kill animations, only get one of two Gold Weapons (preferably save up a bit and go for Gold #2) and unless you really want a different weapon for your persona get one of the generic ones or save for a prestige one or if you have the credits and don't mind burning them all get both.

Save your credits for something else like other character mods or ability craft/recrafting.

Ehhhh kind of. I am more or less confirming the weapon animations are only unique with gold and prestige weapons have generic animations as well as the crappy starter weapons

[Serrachio]

I know what you mean Xantos, and it's kind of a shame.

I feel that their specialty weapons have their animations for their Gold #1 and then improved appearance (except Bombardier) and animations for Gold #2.

I think it's kind of a shame, but I still would like it if they patched in some character specific animations for their other "titled" weapons. (titled meaning "Sentinels ..." etc.)

[papartusedmcrsk]

Character specialized animations was a total letdown for AC:R.

Seen a video on YouTube where a Jester, Doctor, Courtesan and Trickster all did the same exact kill animation.

And it wasn't even the neck-snap-from-behind or the punch-in-the-stomache one.

That's because all their weapons count as Daggers, and most dagger animations are shared between the characters wielding them.

Forgot to mention this, but it'd be good if they gained two unique animations for when their weapons level goes up.

If it's "Sledge Hammer" to "Sledge Hammer 01" it gains 2 unique animations (like it does now), and from there "Sledge Hammer 01" to "Sledge Hammer 02" gains the other two.

If it included a nice Bench Kill one too, I wouldn't mind it.

[papartusedmcrsk]

It's just a shame, IMO.

Took almost all the individuality away from the personas, where they had it in Brotherhood.

[deadly_thought]

they cut alot of corners with the personas in general all the girls are the same character with different clothes and two of the blokes are the same person only one is bald and one has a turban i wasnt surprised to see the animations were the same

[Grazel69]

thx for sharing, I was actually wondering about this...

[PlasticAssasin8]

Thanks for that, stops me wasting credits now..

And yeah those women's faces are just yuk, looks like they've been hit with the ugly stick or they have been pumped full of botox. The conceptual artists should have been hit with a dumb stick and the people that thought the faces looked good with a cricket bat

[weeklydose]

Didn't know about the unique kill animations, so thanks for sharing and confirming. I haven't invested anything in weapons yet, so I'll keep it in mind. I do know I was wondering earlier today, when I had unlocked the Renegade in single player, about those golden weapons...

[The_Despair_]

Man, that sucks. Oh well. Even if they don't have unique animations, I'll probably buy the more awesome looking weapons, like the Champion's (literal) sledgehammer.

Also the girls aren't ugly.

the kill animations were definitily better in acb... part of it i think was because many of them had their own weapons that weren't simply just daggers and swords, they were unique weapons and they all had their own kill style..

[E-Zekiel]

I like AC:R's animations WAY better. I dunno how you could say AC:B's were better. More unique and more characters with original animations? Yes. Better on an individual basis? No.

[berm87]

i played specific personas in acb so that i could enjoy their individual kill animations. i still do that in acr, but to a much lesser extent. the only animation i can never seem to tire of is the thespian's, especially when she slits her target's throat and apathetically nudges their dying body to the ground. lol!
