Sticky bomb casing
Sticky Bombs were an archetype of bomb which, due to its sticky resin coating, could stick onto almost any surface imaginable, including clothing and armor. Armed with a 5 second fuse, it was best used to eliminate or isolate specific targets.
Description
- Ezio: "Tell me about your special bomb casings."
- Piri: "Well, I have some sticky resin bags. My uncle Kemal had a wild fondness for them. During Bayezid's conflict with Venezia (Venice), he was a captain in the Ottoman navy. He liked resin bombs because they stuck to almost any surface... the hulls of large ships, for instance."
- —Piri Reis, describing a sticky bomb to Ezio[src]
The bomb would stick to any surface and exploded after 5 seconds. Since the bomb stuck to a target, it ensured that the target would always be in the epicentre of the blast, allowing for maximum effect. Alternatively it could be used to cause a delayed explosion in any area. Since Ezio could walk away after sticking the bomb no suspicion would arise towards him.
It could be used in conjunction with any gunpowder or effect type in bomb crafting.
Trivia
- Throwing a sticky bomb at someone will not alert them and they will be unaware of the bomb until it explodes.
- The sticky shell is the rarest of the shell types.
- Piri Reis's shop is the only place that sells them.
