Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood/Controls

Add Windows buttons

This page needs images of controls for the Windows from the controller buttons category to make learning the controls easier. If a set of controller button images is available for this system, please add them. If a set of controller images isn't available, it might need to be brought up on StrategyWiki:Staff lounge.

Puppeteering concept

When in the Animus, you control your avatar through the system's hardware. Different controls correspond to parts of your avatar's body (and Desmond's in real life), for the purpose of making control more intuitive.

You are naturally in low profile, where most actions don't alert guards and you won't draw undue attention. When in high profile, you can perform more athletic and aggressive actions, although it is also easier to alert the guards.
