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".


You do not have to pickpocket them to get knives- if you defeat them in a fistfight you will get only one knife. If you kill them by other means (i.e. with a sword), you will get '''no''' knives. Alternatively, return to [[Masyaf]] or the nearest Assassin's Bureau to return your Throwing Knife count to maximum.

Altaïr about to pickpocket a Thug

Thugs or Courageous Citizens were citizens of the three big cities (Damascus, Acre, and Jerusalem) as well as Masyaf.

Description

They were more burly and tough-looking than most peasants, and were most notable for carrying Throwing Knives, which Altaïr was able to pickpocket. If they caught Altaïr while doing so, they would fight him. They usually carried five knives, though visiting Masyaf or a Bureau would also replenish the amount of knives in possession.

Thugs were also known as Courageous Citizens because when they spotted Altaïr attacking an Interrogation target, they would join in the fistfight. They never fled from a fistfight, instead choosing to fight until they collapsed. If Altaïr drew a blade, however, they would run. They could not freerun, so they were quite easy to escape from.
