The smoke bomb is a weapon in Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Using a powder "technology" from the Far East, the bomb releases a smoke screen for 8 seconds when thrown, to allow Ezio Auditore da Firenze to flee his enemies, or assassinate them quickly in those seconds. I must stress the imprtance of smoke bombs and assassinations, because you can take down larger groups sucessfully with one or two bombs.
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 achievements "No-Hitter," "Messer Sandman" and "Sweeper."
In Brotherhood, smoke bombs are also used by Assassin Apprentices, and by the multiplayer characters.

- In Brotherhood, one of the BAM (Brotherhood Assist Move) maneuvers has the Assassins throw numerous smoke bombs around Ezio before descending to aid him.
- In Brotherhood, the player may lock onto a far-off NPC before pressing the "throw bomb" button to throw the smoke bomb from a distance.
