Cold-Blooded

Cold-Blooded is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. The ability is called Cold Blooded in Splatoon.

Cold-Blooded shortens the duration of any position-tracking effects inflicted on the wearer.

Cold-Blooded is rather versatile, as any weapon or play style can benefit from not being tracked. However, it reaches its full potential when used with a stealthy, mobile weapon, such as the Carbon Roller; it can enhance the sneakiness of a weapon, facilitating ambushes. A loud or otherwise conspicuous weapon may give itself away to surrounding enemies, no tracking needed.

  Clothing

Cold Blooded shortens the duration of position-tracking to 50% of normal tracking time. It is restricted to clothing as a main ability, and cannot be rolled as a sub ability.

Mutual exclusivity

This ability is found as the main ability only on clothing, so other abilities found only on shoes are mutually exclusive with it; in other words players cannot have them together. These abilities are Template:InterimAbility, Template:InterimAbility, and Template:InterimAbility. In addition, since wearing the Splatfest Tee is mandatory during a Splatfest, these abilities cannot be used for the duration of those events.

The following Gear items have Cold Blooded as their main ability.

Data

Cold Blooded reduces tracking duration by 50%. This applies to all forms of tracking:

• Point Sensors normally lasts 8 seconds, but this is reduced to 4 seconds.
• Template:InterimAbility normally lasts 9 seconds, but is reduced to roughly 4.5 seconds.
• The Echolocator's duration can vary if the user has Template:InterimAbility equipped. Without any, it will have its tracking time reduced from 9 seconds to 4.5 seconds. With the maximum amount of Special Duration Up equipped, it will last 12.6 seconds normally and 6.3 seconds on a target with Cold Blooded.
