Pickpocketing: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:07, 25 May 2026

Pickpocketing is the act of stealing an item, most commonly money, valuables, or secret documents, directly from the person in possession of it. Although it is widely committed illicitly by thieves for sheer profit, it is also an important method of acquiring confidential information as part of espionage. Accordingly, pickpocketing has been a common, yet invaluable, tactic employed by the Assassins throughout their centuries-long conflict against the Templars.

History[edit | edit source]

Islamic Golden Age[edit | edit source]

During the 9th century, the thief Basim ibn Ishaq was a prolific pickpocket, in part thanks to his Eagle Vision, which allowed him to detect valuable items to steal from unsuspecting people. To pickpocket a target, Basim would simply approach them from behind and steal their pouches, though if his attempt failed, he would be discovered and forced to flee before the guards arrived.^[1]

After joining the Hidden Ones, Basim put his pickpocketing skills to good use, frequently stealing keys, documents, and other objects of interest from his targets.^[1]

Crusades[edit | edit source]

For Assassins during the Third Crusade, pickpocketing was used for gathering letters or other items from informants, as well as for replenishing their supply of throwing knives.^[2]^[3]

To pickpocket an informant, usually after eavesdropping on them and discovering what they had in their possession, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad approached his mark quietly from behind, deftly retrieving the desired item from their satchel. Should a theft be detected—or should Altaïr linger too close to his mark following a successful act—the individual's sudden realization would lead them to summon the city guards, forcing the Assassin to either flee or defend himself.^[2]^[3]

To minimize the risk of detection, Altaïr typically targeted individuals who were in motion or distracted, ensuring he remained outside their field of vision. This method served as a vital means for Altaïr to replenish his weaponry while in the field, sparing him the necessity of a time-consuming return to Masyaf or a local bureau for supplies.^[3]

Altaïr could also acquire knives from certain thugs who, unlike common citizens, were prone to engaging in brawls if they caught him in the act. Should they be nearby, others of their kind would often join the fray to assist. While a successful and undetected theft allowed Altaïr to secure a full supply of five blades, the chaos of a brawl typically meant he could only recover a single usable knife from a defeated opponent.^[3]

Renaissance[edit | edit source]

In 1476, Ezio Auditore da Firenze learned how to pickpocket from a fellow Assassin, Paola, soon after the execution of his father and brothers.^[4]

Unlike Altaïr, Ezio would only pickpocket money from civilians. However, he also looted both money and items, usually trade items or ammunition, from dead or unconscious guards. Doing so in public, though, would usually prompt nearby citizens to reprimand him. Civilians who discovered Ezio's efforts, would engage him in a fight and would usually flee after a single strike.^[5]^[6]

Ottoman Empire[edit | edit source]

The Ottoman Assassins created the Hookblade, which came in useful during conflicts to perform a counter-steal; an Assassin could simply rip a purse off a guard, enraging them.^[7]

American Colonies[edit | edit source]

During the 18th century, Assassins such as Ratonhnhaké:ton and Aveline de Grandpré could pickpocket both civilians and guards to steal a variety of items or to simply take their money. The Assassin would stand behind their target and search their pockets or pouches for items. Searching for a longer time yielded more money and items, but the target and all nearby guards would get suspicious of them.^[8]^[9]

Edward Kenway, Adéwalé, and Shay Cormac could pickpocket both civilians and guards in a similar manner, though their methods were more inconspicuous and they could not steal multiple goods from the same target. Alternatively, they could simply loot the bodies of any incapacitated enemy.^[10]^[11]^[12]

Victorian London[edit | edit source]

The British Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye initially could not pickpocket other individuals, but as their skills increased, they gained the ability to instantly pickpocket any target they took hostage, looting any valuables and items they carried.^[13]

In one notable instance, Jacob had to resort to pickpocketing to recover the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which the Templars had stolen and planted on Maharaja Duleep Singh, in order to prevent Singh from being accused of theft.^[14]

Pickpockets[edit | edit source]

Like Borgia messengers, several thieves roamed the streets and rooftops, and would often seek out Ezio to steal from him. One such pickpocket was successfully able to take his money in Florence, though the thief had only intended to lead him to La Volpe.^[5]

As well as this, pickpockets would only approach Ezio if he was not looking at them, and would flee immediately should he notice them. If pickpockets took his money, Ezio could chase after them – with the help of any nearby guards – and tackle or grab them to reclaim his money, as well as taking the money the pickpocket had obtained from other marks.^[5]^[6]

Alternatively, should Ezio or a guard kill the pickpocket, the Assassin could simply loot the body to take back his money.^[5]^[6]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Achievements

In Assassin's Creed, The Hands of a Thief achievement can be earned by pickpocketing 200 throwing knives from thugs.
In Assassin's Creed II, the Kleptomaniac achievement can be earned by pickpocketing 1000 florins.
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the Easy Come, Easy Go achievement can be earned by paying 500 florins to an orator, and then pickpocketing him afterwards. The Da Vinci Disappearance expansion is needed for this achievement to be available.
- This achievement has been known to be glitched and not trigger.
In Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, the Thief achievement can be earned by pickpocketing 5000 écu.
In Assassin's Creed: Mirage, The Hands of a Thief achievement can be earned by pickpocketing 50 different people.

Gameplay

In Assassin's Creed II, pickpockets will always steal 5% of Ezio's total florins.
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it is possible for pickpockets to steal more than 44,000 of Ezio's florins depending on the amount of money he has by rebuilding Rome.
Arquebusiers and crossbowmen are the only guards who will actively shoot a pickpocket should he be on the rooftops. Pickpockets take a single shot to die from an arquebusier and multiple shots to die from a crossbowman.
In Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, after bribing a herald, the money can be stolen back from him. Alternatively, the herald can be killed and the corpse looted to recover the money.
After completing five Thieves Guild challenges, hired thieves would automatically pickpocket money for Ezio.
- As well as this, thieves in Constantinople could loot the bodies of dead guards for Ezio, once he had completed a specific challenge set.
Certain guards held more florins than others when looted, with certain Borgia Captains carrying more than 900 florins. In Constantinople, the Janissaries could be looted for up to 84 akçe.
Like Borgia messengers, pickpockets in Assassin's Creed II will drop their florins if they are struck with a throwing knife.
In Assassin's Creed: Unity, when Arno Dorian catches pickpockets, the money is added to his pockets, rather than needing to return the money to the victim.

-==How to Pickpocket==

-To pickpocket, the player must press the Lock On button. Depending on [[Controls|control settings]], the Lock On button will be either L1 (Playstation 3), Left Trigger (Xbox 360), or F (PC default layout). While targeting the victim, move Altaïr a few paces behind them and hold the Free Hand button, which will be either [[File:PlayStationCircle.svg]] (Playstation 3), B (Xbox 360), or Shift (PC default layout). Once [[Altaïr]] is close enough, as long as you are not detected by the victim or a [[Guard]], you will steal from the victim's bag, a successful pickpocket. With Ezio, you simply hold the Steal button while in Low Profile and go near any target with no need to Lock On.
+Altaïr could also acquire knives from certain [[thug]]s who, unlike common [[Civilian|citizens]], were prone to engaging in [[fist|brawls]] if they caught him in the act.

-There were two kinds of people that could be pickpocketed, always identifiable by the pouch around their waist, on their left side.
-====Informants====
+Unlike Altaïr, Ezio would only pickpocket money from civilians. However, he also looted both money and items, usually [[trade objects|trade items]] or ammunition, from dead or unconscious guards. Doing so in public, though, would usually prompt nearby citizens to reprimand him.

-Every so often during [[Investigations]], there would be a person with a bit of useful information, be it a map or a letter, that they placed in a pouch around their waist. When Pickpocketing targets were first located, they would be seen talking with another person.
-====Thugs====
+===Ottoman Empire===
+The [[Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] created the [[Hookblade]], which came in useful during conflicts to perform a counter-steal; an Assassin could simply rip a purse off a guard, enraging them.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
-The [[thugs]] roaming the cities always had knives on hand, which Altaïr could use as throwing knives. Each thug had five throwing knifes that could be stolen. If more throwing knives were acquired while the hold is maxed, no more knives will be stored, and there will be a warning telling the user that the maximum amount of throwing knives has been acquired. Pickpocketing thugs was available once the ability to carry throwing knives was regained. This happened in Memory Block 3 after killing [[Garnier de Naplouse]]. If Altaïr alerted the thug to his presence, a fight would ensue. Drawing a weapon during this encounter would result in the thug fleeing, and alerting any near-by guards.

-==During the Italian Renaissance==
+[[File:Easy go 2.png|thumb|250px|A pickpocket stealing from Ezio in Rome]]
-[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] was first taught to pickpocket by [[Paola]] (though he can pickpocket prior to this), and stole money instead of throwing knifes. To do this, he must walk quickly in Low Profile, and use his empty hand to pickpocket when in close proximity with another person. However, if Ezio lingered too long in the area, he would be recognized and attacked, usually by males, though females didn't hesitate to engage in a fight either. A single blow to the attacker would already cause him/her to flee, however it is best not to draw attention.
+As well as this, pickpockets would only approach Ezio if he was not looking at them, and would flee immediately should he notice them. If pickpockets took his money, Ezio could chase after them – with the help of any nearby guards – and tackle or grab them to reclaim his money, as well as taking the money the pickpocket had obtained from other marks.<ref name="AC2" /><ref name="Brotherhood" />
-Unlike Altaïr, Ezio did not have his arms stretched out behind someone as he was pickpocketing.
+Alternatively, should Ezio or a guard kill the pickpocket, the Assassin could simply loot the body to take back his money.<ref name="AC2" /><ref name="Brotherhood" />
-====Amount====
+==Trivia==
+;Achievements
-Stealing awarded from 3 to 50 florins at a time. The amount of florins Ezio received from pickpocketing, could be roughly gleaned from the quality of clothing the intended victim was wearing; generally, the higher the quality of clothing, the more florins could be looted.
+*In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', '''The Hands of a Thief''' [[Assassin's Creed achievements|achievement]] can be earned by pickpocketing 200 throwing knives from thugs.
+*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', the '''Kleptomaniac''' [[Assassin's Creed II achievements|achievement]] can be earned by pickpocketing 1000 [[florin]]s.
-====The Dead and Unconscious====
+*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', the '''Easy Come, Easy Go''' [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood achievements|achievement]] can be earned by paying 500 florins to an [[Heralds|orator]], and then pickpocketing him afterwards. ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' expansion is needed for this achievement to be available.
+**This achievement has been known to be glitched and not trigger.
-In addition, Ezio could also loot unconscious or dead enemies for money; though this took longer and left him open to attacks. Civilians would also openly scold him for looting the dead. With this method, it was possible to get over 100 florins as well as items, such as [[Throwing Knives]], Medicine vials, [[Poison]] and [[Smoke bombs]].
+*In ''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]'', the '''Thief''' [[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation achievements|achievement]] can be earned by pickpocketing 5000 écu.
+*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'', '''The Hands of a Thief''' [[Assassin's Creed: Mirage achievements|achievement]] can be earned by pickpocketing 50 different people.
-====Usefulness====
+;Gameplay
+*In ''Assassin's Creed II'', pickpockets will always steal 5% of Ezio's total florins.
-However, pickpocketing would quickly become useless as Ezio progressed. This is due to the small amount gained, in comparison to the prices of items that could be bought, as well as the significantly larger profit achieved by investing in the [[Villa Auditore]]. Therefore, the only time it was really useful was during the very beginning of the game, before armed guards started showing up after [[Giovanni Auditore di Firenze|Giovanni]] was arrested.
+*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', it is possible for pickpockets to steal more than 44,000 of Ezio's florins depending on the amount of money he has by rebuilding [[Rome]].
+*Arquebusiers and crossbowmen are the only guards who will actively shoot a pickpocket should he be on the rooftops. Pickpockets take a single shot to die from an arquebusier and multiple shots to die from a crossbowman.
-==Pickpockets==
+*In ''Assassin's Creed II'', ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', after bribing a herald, the money can be stolen back from him. Alternatively, the herald can be killed and the corpse looted to recover the money.
-Like [[Borgia Messengers]], there were random pickpockets in the cities who were shown with an icon on the mini-map: a pouch with an exclamation mark; if one was in the line of sight, a white marker would appear over [[File:Thief.jpg|thumb|right|A pickpocket in-game.]]the pickpocket. A pickpocket could be tackled, grabbed or attacked, to obtain a small amount of money, or in when in Rome, money and a trading item. Also, as the name suggests, they would at times attempt to steal money from the player. After stealing from the player, the pickpocket would begin to run away. They seem to outmatch ordinary [[Thieves]] at [[Free Running|free running]], though while on rooftops they were still subjected to the same laws as Ezio, so any archer which spot a pickpocket would begin shooting arrows at him. Pickpockets in Rome have a reduced compared to what they had in previously visited cities. If guards were successful in killing the pickpocket, then they started to attack Ezio. Also, the money a pickpocket had could be looted from their dead body if killed by a guard. Killing one has no penalties or warnings or desynchronization, only an increase in notoriety.
+*After completing five [[Guild challenges#Thieves|Thieves Guild challenges]], hired thieves would automatically pickpocket money for Ezio.
+**As well as this, thieves in Constantinople could loot the bodies of dead guards for Ezio, once he had completed a specific challenge set.
+*Certain guards held more florins than others when looted, with certain [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] [[Borgia captain|Captains]] carrying more than 900 florins. In Constantinople, the [[Janissary|Janissaries]] could be looted for up to 84 [[akçe]].
+*Like Borgia messengers, pickpockets in ''Assassin's Creed II'' will drop their florins if they are struck with a throwing knife.
+*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'', when [[Arno Dorian]] catches pickpockets, the money is added to his pockets, rather than needing to return the money to the victim.

-==Trivia==
+==References==
-*In ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', after bribing a [[Heralds|Herald]], the money can be stolen back from him. Though this contradicts the purpose of bribing, as it causes a slight increase in notoriety, the notoriety gain from pickpocketing is less than the amount removed by the Herald. If Ezio has 25% notoriety or more, the end result is a free decrease in notoriety. The Herald can also be killed, and the corpse can be looted to re-obtain the money.
