The Curling Bomb is a sub weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. It is a bomb that slides forward, leaving behind an ink trail, until it explodes.
Appearance
The Curling Bomb is a short black cylinder with a gray handle on top and panels on the side that change color to match the user's ink. It bears a strong resemblance to a curling stone. There are green lights on the top that turn red when the Curling Bomb is about to explode. The Curling Bombs used by Agent 4 in Octo Canyon have a darker handle and blue, oval-shaped lights instead of rectangular green ones.
Splatoon 2
Category | Sub |
Base damage | 20 (contact) 30 (splash) 180 (direct hit) |
Base duration | Explodes after 4s with no charge Explodes after 2s with full charge |
Ink consumption | 70% |
When deployed, the Curling Bomb travels straight across the floor, leaving a trail of ink and bouncing off any wall or obstacle it encounters. It explodes after it has traveled its maximum distance. The maximum distance of the Curling Bomb may be shortened by charging, or 'cooking' it with before release - unless it is coming from a Curling-Bomb Launcher, in which case, this increases its travel distance. 'Cooking' the Curling Bomb also causes it to grow larger, increasing the amount of turf it inks as it travels and the size of its blast radius.
While traveling, the Curling Bomb deals 20 damage to enemies it comes into contact with. Upon detonation, it deals 180 damage to enemies in the main blast radius and 30 damage to enemies in the outer blast radius.
The Curling Bomb is comparable to the Seeker from Splatoon, though it excels in path-making as it cannot be 'distracted' by enemy Inklings and Octolings. The wall-bouncing and cooking capabilities of the Curling Bomb also hold versatility over the Seeker.
It appears in two Octo Expansion Stations:
- B06 Notorious Station
- J03D08 Girl Power Station
Notes
- The circle on the top of the Curling Bomb displays the amount of time left before it detonates.
- As it approaches its maximum distance, the Curling Bomb makes the same sound effect as a primed Splat Bomb.
- The Curling Bomb slows down as it approaches its maximum distance.
- LEDs surrounding the handle of the Curling Bomb light up as the bomb is 'cooked'.
- If the player remains idle after deploying the Curling Bomb, the player remains in a weaponless stance and performs a fist pump and nods upon the bomb exploding.
- If the player is low on ink and tries to release a Curling Bomb, they look down at their hand to see nothing, instead of looking back like other sub weapons.

Curling Bombs return in Splatoon 3, functioning the same as they did in the previous game.
Curling Bombs appear several times in the Return of the Mammalians and are available as an upgrade for the Hero Suit. The missions that they appear as not part of the Hero Suit are:
- 0109 The String's The Thing
- 0302 They Said We'd Have Flying Cars, and We Do! Kinda!
- 0304 Try Curling! Alterna's 11th Most Popular Athleisure Activity!
- 0411 Stamp 'Em Out
Notes
- The facial expressions of the player when remaining idle as the Curling Bomb explodes has changed to be more expressive, now having the player smile with closed eyes.
