Pickpocketing in Assassin’s Creed can be quite a pain at times. If you start following the person too quickly, he’ll warn you off. If you don’t start following quick enough then you won’t catch up because you both walk at the same speed. There are no practice areas for pickpocketing, so you’ll have to do it live in the streets.
The main things to watch is your target looking around while you follow him. Pick pocketing while guards are around will arouse suspicion and cause chaos.
Lock onto your target, slowly walk towards him, make sure he is not looking around and then get as close as possible and hit the Pick Pocket button/key. Altair needs to get his hand as close to the persons pocket as possible. Once it tells you your success, then quickly move away.
If you see the person stop walking, you need to stop too. This means that he is almost alert of you trying to pickpocket him. Just simply stop and wait for him to start moving again.
It does take a lot of practice, so don’t get frustrated if you fail the first few times.

“THERE IS NO PICKPOCKET KEY ON THE PC VERSION IDIOT!”
– actually there is, you moron
on the pc you press f to lock on to the guy then when you get close enough hold the shift button
thanks.. its good description how it “pocket mission” do ,.. wish a good make it
why do people who don’t know what they’re talking about have to be so rude when it comes to silly stuff like games? calling people idiots for something like that seems rough and harsh for a person. it’s just a game. get a life.
Games can be very frustrating. That’s why when I get too frustrated, I paste (expletive deleted) wherever polite language is indufficient. The trouble with language, especially over the internet, is that it almost always hits one or more inintended and underserving targets.
I just picked up AC 1, and I also agree the pick pocket is frustrating. that is why I am here. Why is it that i cannot go into a haystack and hide when I am being chased? is it because the guards are too close to me? because when they are not, he stays hidden
what is the Assassin’s Creed 2 keygen
yeah man pick pocketing is hard he just pushes people here and there
On Assassins Creed 1 on PC it only says the control for High Profile, then what is the control for Low Profile
I just got AC 1 because my friend finally begged me enough to play it, its cool so far,, but the pickpocketing thing is UGH! I’ve been trying to pick the basket weaver for like 2 hours and I always get caught/ killed…
Pickpocketing is actually really easy [if explained properly]. Just make sure the target is not looking at you or looking around, get close to him and HOLD [NOTE: DO NOT SIMPLY PRESS] the pickpocket key. Altair’s hand will reach forward. While still holding down, guide Altair’s hand to the target’s bag/pouch. Once you’ve picpocketed the item, IMMEDIATELY release the pickpocket button and start walking away from the target.
