Characteristics
Overview
Produces a large cloud of opaque greyish white smoke.
Smoke buys you a few seconds nobody can see through. Your teammate goes down in the middle of the road outside a monument, and someone on a rooftop is waiting for you to run out and pick him up. Throw one between the roof and the body, walk in behind it and revive him in the grey.
Raids are the other big use. Whoever holds the rocket launcher stands still through every reload, and a cloud in front of the wall takes away the angle a defender shoots from. Crossing a field to a compound works the same way.
Tip
Throw it onto the shooter's line, not at your own feet. In the middle of the cloud you are blind too, and anyone spraying into it can still hit you by luck.
The recipe asks for 35 gunpowder at a Level 2 workbench, a little more than an F1 grenade, so this is not something you throw for fun. Give the two fixed hotbar slots: grabbing the wrong one in a hurry and smoking yourself instead of killing someone is a classic.
