There are plenty of gadgets at your disposal when you fight enemies in Gotham Knights. But what is more iconic with the Bat Family than Smoke Bombs? Thankfully, you have access to these at the beginning of the game. All that’s left is to learn how (and when) to use them. Our guide will tell you everything you need to know about Smoke Bombs and how they can help you in combat in Gotham Knights.
Using Smoke Bombs in Combat in Gotham Knights
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:
- PC: Hold your designated grappling hook key
- PS5: Hold L1
- Series X|S: Hold LB
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.

Smoke Bomb Tips for Gotham Knights
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.
Gotham Knights are available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
