'''Bomb Sniffer''' is an ability that allows players to easily spot opponents' [[Ink Mine]]s and [[Bomb]]s. All bombs within a certain distance appear as skull icons on their screen.  These skull icons can be seen through walls. This [[Ability]] is restricted to [[shoes]] as a main ability.

As of [[Version 2.6.0]], the splash damages of the [[Splat Bomb]], [[Suction Bomb]], [[Seeker]], and [[Ink Mine]] what hurt less than 100% will be reduced by 40% (excludes Defense Up and Damage Up calculations), and [[Burst Bomb]]s' damage will be reduced by 20%.

Bomb Sniffer, upon being equipped, is an automatically-activated [[ability]]. Its effects cannot wear off or be increased or decreased through the addition of multiple slots. This ability causes highly-visible skull icons to appear over [[Splat Bomb]]s, [[Suction Bomb]]s, [[Burst Bomb]]s, [[Ink Mine]]s, and [[Seeker]]s alerting the player of nearby danger.

Bomb Sniffer is used to track down nearby [[Ink Mine]]s and [[Bomb]]s that have been placed by the enemy. This does not activate or expire and is a permanent ability that can last the whole match. Ink Mines and Bombs are marked as skulls as mentioned before and can be shot down or avoided to allow safer passage through the map. This ability is especially useful for spotting [[Seeker]]s and [[Ink Mine]]s.
