How to Use Smoke Bomb

How to Use Smoke Bomb


Vanish from Detection

Throwing a smoke bomb on enemies will cause them to stop briefly and lose sight of you. This can also happen when you go into the smoke itself, since it obstructs vision of your enemies.

Instant Kill Within the Smoke

Rather than engaging in combat, the smoke bomb allows you to assassinate enemies within the smoke, killing them instantly.

Turn Into a Lethal Weapon

The non-lethal smoke bomb can be turned into a weapon with the right tier upgrades.

Choking Fumes creates a toxic cloud when the smoke bomb is thrown, damaging enemies within the smoke. Flammable Smoke ignites the smoke it produces when it comes into contact with nearby flames.

How to Unlock Smoke Bomb

Talk to Ibn Musa

AC Mirage - Ibn Musa

Tools can be unlocked by interacting with Ibn Musa at any Hidden Ones' Bureau.

You'll be able to unlock a tool after finishing the Branching Out mission after assassinating Al-Ghul during the First Order.

The next unlocks are after unlocking Extra Tool Capacity 1, 2, and 3 respectively under the Trickster skills tree.
