The special is very similar in function to the {{Weapon|S|Special|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]], although the bombs are not affected by sub weapon altering stats and the remaining bombs thrown during the special do not fill the special gauge after time is up.
Unlike any other weapon in the ''Splatoon'' games, the Bomb Launcher is thrown from the left side of the player and not from the right side.

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, although the bombs are not affected by sub weapon altering stats and the remaining bombs thrown during the special do not fill the special gauge after time is up.

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