Smoke Bombs

I imagine smoke bombs would be very useful in the game, as it would allow you to steal things virtually unseen.

How would it work?
Well, perhaps it could eject a texture layer of dark grey over a certain radius when thrown, only allowing you to see silhouettes of other players, no team names or colors. probably lasting around 8-10 seconds before slowly dissipating.
Who can use it?
Maybe archers and knights could both get another arrow/bomb, costing 30 coins for knights and 25 for archer.
Other uses?
Maybe it could be used to choke people out of rooms? If an archer was camping a room with a one block opening in it, maybe you could throw it in there and it would slowly do damage (1/4 heart per second?)

Any suggestions to modify the idea or questions are welcome, thanks

I think this is a neat idea. It blends past ideas, like the poison bombs, and people who want a stealthier approach for the game.

 

This is actually something I intend on adding to my mod (WIP) perhaps you'll see it soon, still working on getting certain items working.

 

I think you should have reduced vision while inside of the cloud as well.

 

if it would be added to the game(which I would prefer it didnt)it would be wonderful if builders could have a smoke pouch or something to use

 

Playing devil's advocate here: Why use a smoke bomb when you can use a regular bomb, in either knight or archer's case. They're more instantaneous, plus people can try to endure one if they feel that they need to.

 

Because smoke bombs last longer? They aren't meant to kill, but to possibly slip past as archer or just take something out of your inventory in a fight. I don't know what you mean by they can try to endure one.

 

As Punk sort of hinted at: this would be more useful for the *builder* class. I can see plenty of applications for any class trying to break defenses, but it's honestly more useful for the builder (or knight with a keg) to deal massive amounts of (hidden) tower damage with this.

I'd love to see this added as a mod at the very least ;)

 

Fucking hell the cancer.
What is next, smoke arrows?

also,
smoke bombs everydey

 

Smoke bombs might be nice if they could go through platforms. I think this way, it could prevent heavy turtling and archers nests. On the other hand bombs are useful; however, you need a lot to do certain things like taking out an archer nest.

 

good idea
