[Squiiddish]

Hello everyone, I'm gonna be making a video shortly (possibly a series, depending on feedback) based on some the myths and potentially false information a lot of players believe about the workings of AC:R MP.

So, what I want to know, is what myths you would like to see tested!

Even if its something YOU know does or does not work, if there's been discussion about it or some people still believe otherwise, its fair game (like Knives having a small Mute). Here is a list of what myths I've been given so far that I will keep updated:

TESTED! -Mute on knives
TESTED! -"Kill", "Arial Kill", "Contested Kill" for variety
TESTED! -"Honorable Death" for variety
TESTED! -Streak Bonus, Animus Hack, Score x2 for Variety
-You can catch yourself after falling from a Throwing Knife
-Stun Magnetism will pull you 180 to a low profile pursuer behind you
-Honorable Death from a point blank gunshot
TESTED! -You can kill someone in the dead center of a smoke not crafted for radius
TESTED! -Firecrackers preventing Charge from getting kills or stuns
-Contesting kills into/out of a haybale
-Can you get the Poison bonus during a chase
-When EXACTLY does a Mute take effect
-What causes the detection meter to decrease slower/faster
-Focus on a contested kill
-"Execution" bonus while minor hack is active
-Can you be Stunned while on a wall (climbing, not an acro ledge)
-Can you survive poison with a Taunt
TESTED! -Can Bodyguards add in to a stunlock
TESTED! -Lock system picking players from a blend group
TESTED! -Moving blend groups will eventually take you to your target
- Arial kills counting on the Silent streaks
- Gun Double kills
- NPCs intercepting gunshots in MP
- What happens when target/pursuer both Charge each other
- Throwing Smoke at someone climbing will knock them off and disable them on the ground like Knives
TESTED! - Easy Chase Breaker hard-counters Closure
TESTED! - Knives won't stop a Teleport once the "cubes" effect has appeared
- an Escape in Assassinate permanently removes you from the pursuer's compass
- You cannot get Greater Variety in the Training Ground
TESTED! - Decoy/Bodyguard can activate Tripwire Bomb
TESTED! - When you stand up after a stun, your kill range is slightly reduced, allowing you to be stunned again
TESTED! - Wolf Pack Theory in Manhunt
TESTED! - Players splash through puddles, NPCs do not
- Mute stops Charge
- You can still fire your Gun after the target has left render distance
- You can get a Hidden Acrobatic/Hidden Grab Kill
- You can be naked stunned even after a short fall, and even if you roll
- If you shoot someone who is climbing you will get the Execution bonus
TESTED! - Charge can stun pursuers in Haybales
TESTED! - The sound of a Smoke Bomb can be heard on the entire map
-You can Stun a Pursuer sat on a bench with you
-You cannot Kill from a Haybale while Knifed

​So, give me your ideas! What myths do YOU want to see tested?


Also, now that there's an actual show, I'm gonna add links to the episodes here.

That one's more a bug than a mythbusting thing.

A penny on railroad tracks can derail a train

We'll give it a shot. Gotta find a train though, there's probably one near the edge of Galata. I say this based on absolutely no logic whatsoever.

If Firecrackers prevent charge from stunning you or killing you.

Arial!

What about arial... ?

-Honorable Death from a point blank gunshot

This actually happened to me so I'll tell you what happened! It broke my game. I'm pretty sure that I didn't get honorable death, but I went to stun them at the exact same time they shot me, and I got a weird blue screen and very loud sound effects, and when I respawned, the NPCs would appear and disappear randomly. About a minute later my game froze.

Anyways, this is just for fun...see how long of a kill/stun chain you can get (I'm talking about how when you kill/stun someone that is already killing/stunning someone else, your character will be in a "ready" position but wait for the target to finish his animation. Personally, this feature is annoying, because I've gotten killed while waiting for my character to kill my target, and you lose bonuses like hidden because you stayed too long outside a blend group.

I think he's referring to the fact that it's "aerial", unless you're planning on busting some font myths
