Applicable gear

Bomb Sniffer is an ability in Splatoon.

Bomb Sniffer allows players to easily spot opponents' bombs. All bombs within a certain distance appear as skull icons on their screen. These skull icons can be seen through walls. Bomb Sniffer is restricted to shoes as a main ability.

The ability also reduces splash damage taken from S Weapon Sub Splat Bomb.png Splat Bombs, S Weapon Sub Suction Bomb.png Suction Bombs, S Weapon Sub Seeker.png Seekers, and S Weapon Sub Ink Mine.png Ink Mines by 40%, and reduces damage taken from S Weapon Sub Burst Bomb.png Burst Bombs by 20%.

The ability's effects are always active.

Mutual exclusivity

Since this ability is found as the main ability only on shoes, other abilities found only on shoes are mutually exclusive with it; in other words you cannot have them together. These abilities are S Ability Ink Resistance Up.png Ink Resistance Up and S Ability Stealth Jump.png Stealth Jump.

Use

Bomb Sniffer allows safer passage through the map by making it easier to avoid bombs. In the event that a player just barely escapes a bomb, the damage taken from that bomb will be reduced significantly, increasing chances of survival during a S Weapon Special Bomb Rush Splat Bomb.png Bomb Rush.
