The Bomb Launcher is a special weapon in Splatoon 2.
Splatoon 2
Splatoon 2
Bomb Launcher
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
Bamboozler 14 Mk II, data mining had already revealed in-game data for the
Burst-Bomb Launcher, including images for its weapon icon.
