Bomb Launcher

The Bomb Launcher is a special weapon in Splatoon 2.

Description
The special is very similar in function to the Bomb Rush special from Splatoon, but allows players to throw the bombs farther and with greater accuracy. It separates itself from the Bomb Rush since the bombs fired are not dependent on the player's sub weapon.

Unlike any other weapon in Splatoon, the Bomb Launcher is thrown from the left side of the Inkling and not from the right side.
