How to use Gotham Knights smoke grenade

The Gotham Knights smoke grenade gives you the perfect escape route if you need to get out of battle quickly and will briefly stun your enemies as you flee to safety. However, you can’t leave one of these distracting devices in the middle of a fight, as you’ll need to combine it with your grapple if you want to stay out of danger in Gotham Knights. How you use it is totally unintuitive, especially since it’s triggered by the same button that controls something else, we have some knowledge of how to use a smoke bomb in Gotham Knights.

How to use Gotham Knights smoke bombs

To use Gotham Knights smoke grenades you need to have a ledge nearby that you can grapple with, but you’ll find them pretty much everywhere, so it shouldn’t be something you need to actively look for. To trigger, simply hold down your regular gripper button instead of tapping, which defaults to L1 or LB. This will fire a smoke grenade and take you to a safe place, while your enemies will be stunned and overlooked. This will give you a break to refocus and allow you to return to privacy so you can start stealth takedowns again. It’s good to know that you can only trigger Gotham Knights smoke bombs during battle, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally wasting them while traveling through Gotham City.

You can always check how many Gotham Knights smoke grenades you have dropped by opening the PC menu, then selecting the Gear tab and looking at the bottom left corner of the screen. You start a Night Patrol with 10 of them, and your supplies are replenished each time you return to the Bell Tower and finish a patrol.
