"These do not obscure, they distract."

―Yusuf Tazim showing Ezio the cherry bomb.

The Cherry Bomb exploded with a very loud bang, luring every guard within earshot. It could be crafted using any shell or gunpowder type combined with the sulfur effect.

Description

Ezio: "I need a simple but effective means of distraction."

Piri: "Then this is the bomb for you. It gives a nice loud burst, luring all soldiers within earshot right to the source. Have fun."

—Piri Reis describing a Cherry Bomb to Ezio

The Cherry Bomb contained sulfur, which exploded with a loud bang when ignited and the noise attracted any guards within earshot. If detonated in the correct place, it could be also be used to create a conflict between Ottoman and Byzantine patrols. The Assassins used this to great effect creating distractions covering their infiltration or escape.
