==Throwing Knives==
==Characteristics==
Each thug carries 5 throwing knives you can pickpocket. To pickpocket them, the player must press the Lock On button. Depending on 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. Each time you pickpocket them, you will receive 5 knives. If you happen to pickpocket as many knives as, or more knives than you can hold, your knife count will be maxed out and you will see the message "You have acquired the maximum number of knives".
Thugs were burlier and tougher-looking than most civilians, and were most notable for carrying throwing knives, which [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] could pickpocket. However, if a thug caught him pickpocketing, they – as well as any within the area – would proceed to [[fist]]fight the [[Assassins|Assassin]].<ref name="AC" />


You do not have to pickpocket them to get knives- if you defeat them in a fistfight you will get one, and only one knife. If you kill them by other means (i.e. with a sword), you will get '''no''' knives. Alternatively, return to [[Masyaf]]&nbsp;or the nearest Assassin's Bureau&nbsp;to return your Throwing Knife count to maximum.[[File:Fistfight.jpg|thumb|250px|A thug is knocked out]]

==Trivia==
On the Xbox 360 version of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', you can get an [[achievement]] by pickpocketing 200 knives (40 successful pickpockets) from thugs:

Altaïr pickpocketing a thug

A thug was particular type of civilian that could be found in the major cities of Damascus, Acre, Jerusalem and Masyaf during the Third Crusade.

Thugs carried throwing knives and were one of the few types of civilians to not back down from a brawl if provoked.[1]

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Thugs were burlier and tougher-looking than most civilians, and were most notable for carrying throwing knives, which Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad could pickpocket. However, if a thug caught him pickpocketing, they – as well as any within the area – would proceed to fistfight the Assassin.[1]

Thugs would never flee from a scuffle, instead choosing to fight until they collapsed. If their opponent drew a blade, however, they would run off immediately.[1]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • There is an achievement in Assassin's Creed for pickpocketing forty throwing knives successfully from thugs.
  • Whereas thugs in the cities of Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem wore identical clothing, thugs in Masyaf had their own outfit.
