| '''Smoke bombs''' were [[weapons]] available since the [[Renaissance|15th century]].
| |
| | |
| ==Technique==
| |
| | |
| Using a powder "technology" from the Far East, the bomb releases a thick, grayish smoke screen for 8 seconds when thrown, to allow [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] to flee his enemies, or assassinate them quickly in those seconds. The clever and strategic use of Smoke Bombs during difficult assassinations or large guard fights is a very important aspect in the games, as they allow players to strike specific targets or take down larger groups of enemies without being seen or encountering resistance, and allow players to slip in and out of hotspots undetected.
| |
| ==15th Century==
| |
| Smoke bombs are disposable and must be purchased for 350 florins each. Players can carry a maximum of three smoke bombs at a time, which are stored in a non-upgradeable pouch.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, the smoke bomb is a useful way to get the [[Assassin's Creed II Achievements|achievements]] "No Hitter", "Messer Sandman" and "Sweeper."
| |
| ==16th Century==
| |
| Smoke bombs return when in [[Rome]], with the same abilities as before, though the actual cloud itself is visually a lot smaller than in the previous game. Smoke bombs are also used by [[Assassin Recruits]] extensively to attack enemies, and by the [[multiplayer]] characters.
