Point Sensor	Splash Wall
Splat Bomb	Squid Beakon
Suction Bomb	Sprinkler

Tactics

Bomb Range Up increases the speed of the sub weapon, making it easier to hit fast-moving opponents with Burst Bombs, Disruptors, and Point Sensors, even at closer ranges.

Players can jump or build up momentum before throwing by swimming in squid form to increase throwing distance even more. This effectively increased range is visible on the on-screen dashed line arc.
