Smoke grenades can be expensive to purchase in bulk, but players will be able to find plenty of them during their adventures in Topside. Once their power is directly visible, it is difficult to enter the raid without at least a few smoke bombs. Because the ability to completely change the flow of battle by removing line of sight may be all that's needed to lead players to the exit.
