How to equip smoke bomb?

From video games to comics and movies, the Dark Knight and his protégés never shied on dropping Smoke Bombs. So, it makes sense that Gotham Knights relies on them as well.

It’s not tricky to use Smoke Bombs in Gotham Knights, either. Just select the following based on your platform of choice:

To practice, head into the Belfry and go into training. There’s a specific tutorial area for Smoke Bombs, so you can get the hang of them. Remember that you must hold the button/key, not just press it. Otherwise, it won’t work.

Smoke Bombs are perfect when you feel overwhelmed by enemies and need to catch your breath. You can use Smoke Bombs in Gotham Knights to purposely set enemies up as well. Get their attention, drop a Smoke Bomb, and grapple out of the way. It’s a fun way to set up an epic ariel attack.

Although Smoke Bombs are easy to use, they are also easy to get wrong.

You can’t just press the corresponding button or key and drop the bombs. Rather, you must be near a platform that you can grapple away to. This is because when you use the Smoke Bombs out in the open in Gotham Knights, you will automatically use your grappling hook to get away.

If you find yourself in combat pressing the right button/key and nothing is happening, it’s likely because there’s nowhere to escape to.

Enemies must also be fully alerted to your hero too. Once they are, you can trigger the Smoke Bombs and grapple hook out of sight.

Look out for the grappling hook icon when you’re in combat in Gotham Knights. This will let you know that there’s something nearby you can grapple toward. So, you can quickly drop Smoke Bombs and get someplace else fast.

Plenty of strategy goes into combat in Ghost of Tsushima, as not every scenario calls for head-on action. If you’re someone that likes to plan things out or even knows when to call a tactical retreat, the smoke bomb is going to be your best friend. Here is everything you need to know about how to use smoke bombs in Ghost of Tsushima.

Smoke Bombs are a Ghost Weapon that you’ll unlock at your discretion. At the conclusion of every main story quest, you’ll be given the option to unlock one of five Ghost Weapons. So, if evasion and deception is something you want to incorporate into your combat style, then put a priority on unlocking them.

These items are useful for evading an enemy when you have low health or are overpowered and for attacking someone unseen by using the smoke as cover.

Once you unlock the smoke bomb, you’ll be able to equip it by pressing R2 + down d-pad.

Throwing it is as simple as pressing R1, as it doesn’t aim, it just tracks the nearest target.

After throwing the grenade, smoke goes poof and then the enemy loses sight of you. You can assassinate them, chain assassinate them, or just attack normally once in the smoke.

There is also an upgrade that blinds enemies for a longer time, as well as one that makes the smoke heal you a little.
