How to disarm enemies in Assassins Creed Revelations

assassins-creed-revelations

I'm stuck in one of the master assassin missions – I'm only allowed to disarm enemies but I can't find a proper move in the game tutorials nor do I find anything in the handbook.

Anyone knows the necessary key on the keyboard?

To perform a disarm, you need to be unarmed and do the "counter kill." To be unarmed, that means no sword, no hidden blade, but pure fists (that's 4 on the keyboard by default). The counter kill is High Profile + Weapon Arm when an enemy attacks you and that should disarm them and you steal their weapon. That should be Right Mouse + Left Mouse by default. Pressing 4 again when holding a picked up weapon will drop it.
