Hand-held bomb

"Quite little bombs, but effective enough to, say, wreck ships or disperse a camp."

―Leonardo da Vinci on his hand-held bombs

The Hand-held bombs were small explosive devices designed and manufactured by Leonardo da Vinci for use against Cesare Borgia's diehards, who had amassed a sizable military force in the city of Valencia.

Consisting of a small, steel ball filled with sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate, the hand-held bombs also possessed a small fuse which required lighting before the device became explosive.

During the attack on Valencia, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Niccolò Machiavelli, each equipped with ten hand-held bombs, brought chaos to Cesare's military forces, destroying twelve Borgia ships and an entire military encampment.

Bombs will be part of the gameplay in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. More than 300 different types can be crafted, each with a different effect and thus replacing the smoke bombs from Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
