The main weapons in Assassin’s Creed Rogue come in two types; melee and ranged. Both weapon classes have their own stats and uses.
While stats do play a part in the game’s combat, a player should not feel hindered by them, which is why the combat system is flexible so players can opt to use a weaker weapon if they are comfortable with it or like its visual style.

Assassin’s Creed Rogue Weapons Unlock
There is a large variety of weapons in the game, and each has a different method of acquisition. Some can be simply purchased while others require completion of specific missions or challenges.
The guide below should help you in choosing your ideal weapon and guide you on how to acquire it.
Melee Weapons
These are divided into three stats: speed, combo, and damage. The higher the number of all three stats in a weapon, the easier it is for Shay to kill enemies with it.
Speed and Combo are the most useful stats since most players will opt to kill enemies through counters or breaking defense, which means they don’t have to worry about the damage a weapon deals
Combo determines the number of strikes before they can move in for a kill move while Speed allows for quicker attacks.

Pistols
Pistols are divided into three stats; damage, stun, and range. The range is the least effective stat since all it does is provide “sniping” opportunities while taking away the mobility while aiming.
