Point Sensor

Point Sensors are a type of sub weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Description
Point Sensors are black, cube-like objects with cylinder-shaped protrusions that change color depending on the player's Ink. When thrown, they explode in a spherical cloud that has the color of the player's ink and tag any enemy Inkling in a certain range with a swirling squid marker. This marker allows tagged enemies to be seen through barriers by all teammates, allowing them to be easily tracked.


 * Will track an enemy for 8 seconds normally, and 2 seconds if the target has Cold Blooded. Before Version 2.2.0, it would normally track for 10 seconds and 2.5 seconds with Cold Blooded. Due to lag and other factors, the exact time may vary slightly during online play.
 * With no Ink Saver (Sub), it requires 40% of maximum Ink Tank capacity.
 * Upon hitting a surface, the blast radius is roughly 3 lines in diameter, 1.5 in radius. Pre-Version 2.2.0, its was about 2.5 lines in diameter and 1.25 in radius.
 * Throw distance can be increased with Bomb Range Up.
 * Can be thrown against a wall to track enemies on the other side, as long as they are within the blast radius.
