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 Splatoon, the Bomb Launcher is thrown from the left side of the Inkling and not from the right side.

Trivia

  • The Bomb Launcher is designed after the Ultra Machine, a batting toy made by Nintendo in 1967. This is likely referenced in their Japanese name, Bomb Pitchers.
  • 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.
  • Although difficult to hear, while active, the Bomb Launcher plays a chiptune version of the intro to "Bomb Rush Blush", despite how the song is named after it's predeccesor, the Bomb Rush.
  • Before the release of the S2 Weapon Main Bamboozler 14 Mk II.png Bamboozler 14 Mk II, data mining had already revealed in-game data for the S2 Weapon Special Burst-Bomb Launcher.png Burst-Bomb Launcher, including images for its weapon icon.
  • There were meant to be three weapons with S2 Weapon Special Autobomb Launcher.png Autobomb Launcher as their special, not two. However, due to fudged datamining,the S2 Weapon Main Tri-Slosher Nouveau.png Tri-Slosher Nouveau ended up getting released with the Ink Storm.
  • No Splatlings have a form of the Bomb Launcher as their special, except canned specials.
