Assassin's Creed Revelations bomb crafting: casings, gunpowder and useful effects
Compare Revelations bomb components and build smoke, distraction or lethal tools deliberately.
Edition covered
The original 2011 Revelations single-player campaign. Pictures are Ubisoft’s original PC Steam promotional images, not The Ezio Collection. Online modes and later remaster differences are not used for progression advice.
Build a bomb from three decisions
A bomb combines a casing, gunpowder and an effect ingredient. The casing changes delivery, powder changes the area affected and the effect determines what happens to nearby people.
| Casing | Trigger behavior | Practical role |
|---|---|---|
| Fuse shell | Delayed detonation | Throw toward a planned position |
| Impact shell | Detonates on impact | Immediate effect at the landing point |
| Sticky pouch | Attaches before detonation | Carry an effect with a moving target |
| Tripwire casing | Placed trap | Cover a predictable patrol route |
Start with the intended outcome
Smoke creates concealment, a distraction redirects attention and a lethal blast removes enemies. Choose the effect first, then the delivery method that reaches the desired position.
| Effect type | Purpose | Check before use |
|---|---|---|
| Smoke screen | Obscure vision | Ezio’s exit from the cloud |
| Noise distraction | Draw attention away | Where guards will investigate |
| Caltrops | Disrupt pursuit | The route enemies will cross |
| Lethal shrapnel | Damage a group | Civilian presence and mission rules |
Use the crafting test before a mission
Crafting stations let you experiment with combinations. Check the resulting behavior away from an objective, especially when a large radius could affect civilians or cause unwanted alarm.
Restock the recipe you actually use
Keep ingredients for dependable tools instead of filling every pouch with an unfamiliar mix. A bomb is useful only if you understand its trigger and escape space.
