How to Use Smoke Bombs

Learn how to use smoke bombs in Gotham Knights to vanish from enemies after grappling. Master this tactic for stealthy escapes and ensure your survival in Gotham's dangerous streets.

Alright, so sometimes you just gotta make a quick exit, right? Gotham Knights gives you a couple of ways to bail, but if you want to make sure they don't just follow you to your next hiding spot, you'll want to use smoke bombs. Think of it as your personal disappearing act.

Here's the deal: you know how to grapple to safety, right? You look at a perch, hit the grapple button (it's the / button, by the way), and *poof*, you're off. But if you just grapple somewhere obvious, like a low ledge, the bad guys are smart enough to keep coming after you. They might even start chucking rocks if they can't shoot!

To *really* lose them, you need to combine that grapple with a smoke bomb. When you're ready to bail, instead of just tapping the grapple button, you're going to hold down the / button. This makes you drop a smoke bomb as you're flying through the air. It totally messes with their aim and makes you invisible for a bit, letting you get away clean.

Now, these aren't unlimited. You start each patrol with nine smoke bombs, and they refill whenever you head back to the Belfry. Good news is, you can't accidentally use them when you're just cruising around town, only when you're actually in a scrap. You can always check your smoke bomb count in the Gear menu on the Batcomputer – they're listed down on the bottom left, right next to your health packs.
