How Do You Successfully Pickpocket in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage?

To successfully pickpocket someone in ACM, you’ll have to time your actions just so.

Sync your actions with the outer diamond and press the directive again when it reaches the blue area. This will require the same control input.

For example, Xbox players will need to press Y to select the pickpocket directive. They will then need to press Y again just as the outer diamond reaches the blue center. Here’s a rundown of the controls on each platform.

Platform	Control
PC	Press the E key
Xbox	Press Y

Who Can You Pickpocket in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage?

In ACM, you’ll have the option to pickpocket any NPC equipped with a coin pouch. You’ll see this appendage dangling from the waist of their clothing, providing you with an opening to score goods with ease. If you’re having trouble spotting these items or individuals, you can use Eagle Vision to highlight the area and zero in on your target.

What Items Can You Pickpocket in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage?

You can pickpocket all sorts of items when you successfully manage to finish the job. Goods can range from tokens to Dirham, consumables, crafting materials, and health elixirs.

All things considered, pickpocketing is a pretty reliable method to obtain items you’ll need to accomplish specific tasks, like bribing merchants and unlocking chests. Because of this, successfully pickpocketing a civilian can prove helpful in a pinch.

What Happens When You Fail a Pickpocket in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage?

When you fail a pickpocket in ACM, you’ll probably wind up getting chased by nearby guards, as the targeted NPC will promptly report the incident. Because of this, you’ll want to make a getaway as fast as possible. Of course, you could also opt to fight them off if there’s no place to run.

Apart from getting caught, your notoriety will also receive a slight increase. Needless to say, you won’t obtain any of the contents of the pouch. However, it does seem that there aren’t too many cons when it comes to pickpocketing. You won’t suffer any major setbacks if you fail, so feel free to practice on any of the NPCs you see.
