			The voltaic bomb is a tool in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' (2015). They serve as the game's iteration of a stun grenade and resemble the {{wiki\|electromagnetic pulse}} (EMP) grenade in video games of other media franchises, albeit adapted to fit the [[Victorian era]] setting. They are unlocked with the main story [[genetic memory\|memory]] "[[Breaking News]]".
