Cane-swords are Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s answer to law enforcement not being super supportive of the whole brandishing deadly weapons thing. These concealed blades are fast and sharp, although they are certainly not your strongest option when it comes to demolishing enemies, but the speed more than makes up for it.
There are quite a few cane-swords to obtain in Syndicate:
Initiate’s Cane-Sword (lvl. 1)
“The perfect starter cane, this weapon boasts style, substance, and snake.”
Noble Cane-Sword (lvl. 2)
“If you’re feeling just a bit posh, look no further than the ebony, gold, and silk of this well-balanced weapon.”

“When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

“Suffice it to say, the Victorians weren’t much for animal conservation and this ivory-topped cane is proof of it.”
