The Caltrop Bomb impeded enemy movement by dispersing small spikes across the ground, rendering its victims vulnerable during a fight. It could be crafted using any shell or gunpowder type, combined with the caltrops effect.The Caltrop Bomb was mainly used to stun enemies.[1]
Description
Caltrops are objects with three or more spikes, arranged in such a way that at least one of the spike will always face upwards when it lands on the ground.[2] This bomb uses the force of the blast to disperse these spikes across the blast radius. Anyone who steps onto these spikes gets stunned due to the spikes. Ezio used these bombs to escape pursuers, or to impede the movement of attackers when he was outnumbered.[1]
Trivia

- The Templar heavy siege weapon is immune to these bombs.
