Wondering how to pickpocket without getting caught in Assassin's Creed Mirage? Pickpocketing is one of Basim's unique abilities that allows you to steal valuable items such as keys and money from various NPCs. As you might expect, pickpocketing is risky; you'll need to react quickly and use caution to avoid getting caught.
How to pickpocket successfully in Assassin's Creed Mirage
Before you can start pickpocketing NPCs, you must activate Eagle Vision by pressing left on the D-Pad to find your target. Once it activates, Basim will scan his surroundings, highlighting a tiny bag hanging on the NPC's body.
If the pocket is glowing, approach the NPC, and a prompt will appear on the screen to pickpocket them. To pickpocket items, press the Triangle button on your PlayStation controller, the E key on your keyboard, or the Y button on your Xbox controller.
Once you press the button, the game will initiate a few seconds of countdown represented by a diamond symbol, which represents the window of time you have to pickpocket the NPC. To successfully steal from the target, align the white and blue diamonds by pressing the pickpocket button again.
How to turn off pickpocketing in Assassin's Creed Mirage
If you find the pickpocketing quick-time event tedious, you can disable it by turning on the Guaranteed Pickpocketing setting in the gameplay section of the settings. This setting will allow you to autocomplete the pickpocketing quick-time event without needing to align the diamonds.
