A cherry bomb[1] or noisemaker[2] is a form of diversionary explosive that detonates with a very loud bang luring guards within earshot.
History[edit | edit source]
9th century[edit | edit source]
During the Middle Ages, Hidden Ones in Baghdad like Basim ibn Ishaq regularly used noisemakers to divert the attention of the Abbasid Caliphate's soldiers and temporarily draw them away from mission-critical locations. With sufficient supplies, Basim could upgrade the noisemakers to cause minor combustion damage.[2]
16th century[edit | edit source]
In the early 1500s, the Master Assassin Piri Reis taught the Italian Assassins' Mentor Ezio Auditore how to craft and use cherry bombs, as they could be made with any shell or gunpowder type combined with sulfur.[1] The Ottoman Assassins had found them to be highly effective in distracting guard patrols by either luring them away from protected areas or by attracting groups of Ottoman troops to their hated Byzantine rivals and sparking conflict, either of which allowed an Assassin to infiltrate or escape fortified areas.[3]
18th century[edit | edit source]
The French Assassin Arno Dorian used cherry bombs in a similar manner during the French Revolution.[4]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Strangely, in Assassin's Creed: Unity, guards will not be lured by cherry bombs if they are outside their field of vision, despite the bombs producing an audible sound.
