Gas Arrows
Rare, but very useful, the gas arrow explodes when it hits its target, releasing a noxious, yet not deadly, cloud of fumes. The target will be rendered unconscious immediately. Gas arrows come in handy on the expert level, because they don't kill your enemies, just knock them unconscious.
Rope Arrows
Shoot rope arrows at a wooden target to release a rope, which can be climbed.
Vine Arrows
Vine arrows work exactly like rope arrows, except that, in addition to wooden surfaces, they can be shot at metal gratings.
Noisemaker Arrows
The noisemaker arrow is a great, if temporary, means of distracting guards. They emit a faint clacking sound, causing anyone in the vicinity to investigate. When used effectively, they can clear guards out of areas you must reach.
Flash Bombs
Another of the thief's most important tools, the flash bomb gives off a bright, white light when thrown on the ground and blinds anyone looking at it. While blinded, opponents can be easily rendered unconscious with your blackjack. This is a great tool for getting out of tight situations. Be warned, though, that it will affect your vision for a short duration if you are looking at the blast.
Mines
Regular mines will explode when someone walks near them, causing a great deal of damage. Mines are an excellent tool against mechanical opponents. The can also be triggered with any type of arrow. You can deactivate a mine with your lockpicks.
