With Assassin’s Creed: Mirage going back in time in terms of how it plays, a lot of the weaponry the recent assassins had isn’t present anymore. This isn’t a bad thing as you can be quite creative in how you fight back if you choose to go that way. Basim’s arsenal is very much a classical assassin’s toolkit. He has the iconic hidden blades, two main weapons, and his tools. The tools Basim gets in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage is used for various situations such as escaping, luring guards, and other things to help him. However, the main tool you might be using are the throwing knives. They are important, and you’ll run out of them quickly. Follow this guide to learn the best ways to get throwing knives in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage.

Assassin’s Creed: Mirage – The best ways to get throwing knives

Like many other tools, money, and other resources, getting these knives is a walk in the park. But on the other hand, unless you have the money, you’ll spend a long time on the search for them. The best way that I’ve found is by looking for chests anywhere in the world. They won’t drop the knives 100 percent of the time, but there’ll be a higher chance of them appearing. The second method is by looting dead guards or pickpocketing the living ones. Like the chest, this won’t guarantee you to get throwing knives, but it’s worth a try. If you have the money to spend, Traders will always have stock. Plus, you can refill your ammo there as well.

Before getting into Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, consider this review for Valhalla. The saga may make more sense. 

Why are knives important?

If you’re trying to get away or need to take out a target from a distance, simply running in won’t be the best idea. You’ll get cut down very easily. By sneaking around and using your knives, you can dispatch guards easily without getting yourself in trouble. Additionally, if you aim for the head, it’s a one-hit kill. This is important when going against the tougher bad guys. They’re also great for stopping a chase. When you’re out of sight, simply look back and throw a knife at a pursuing guard. Your notoriety will go up, but this gives you time to reset and bring it down.
