Category | Special |
Base duration | 6 seconds |
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 and the bombs are not affected by and sub weapon altering stats.
Unlike any other weapon in Splatoon, the Bomb Launcher is thrown from the left side of the Inkling and not from the right side.
Data
- Without the aid of any Special Power Up, Splat-Bomb Launcher, Suction-Bomb Launcher, and Autobomb Launcher will be able to launch 11 bombs within the duration. Curling-Bomb Launcher will be able to launch 12 bombs before the Special runs out. Burst-Bomb Launcher will be able to launch 16 bombs before the Special runs out.
- A good time to use this special is during Splat Zones, enemies will be forced to get out of the way, leaving a clear field for your teammates to quickly take the zones.

Trivia
- The Bomb Launcher is designed after the Ultra Machine, a batting toy made by Nintendo in 1967.
- While on the Bomb Launcher's rail, the bombs are inside gashapon capsules, and the two halves of the capsule can be seen being discarded as each bomb is thrown.
- As visible in the promo image, the Bomb Launcher has its own ink reservoir, explaining why throwing bombs during the special does not drain the player's own ink.
- While active, the Bomb Launcher plays a chiptune version of the intro to "Bomb Rush Blush".
- Before the release of the Bamboozler 14 Mk II, data mining had already revealed in-game data for the Burst-Bomb Launcher, including images for its weapon icon.
- Burst-Bomb Launchers also appeared in Octo Expansion as a canned special before the release of the Bamboozler 14 Mk II.
- The Autobomb Launcher used to be in a similar state prior to the announcement of the Carbon Roller Deco.
- Early datamining of Splatoon 2 showed that the Tri-Slosher Nouveau was meant to be the only weapon set to have Autobomb Launcher as its special, and the icon for this special was also found. The data miners even recorded footage of it in action on the Shooting Range. However, its Special got changed to the Ink Storm.
