InSplatoon 2, Cold-Blooded is a stackable ability that was available on any gear type. It could shorten the tracking effects ofPoint Sensors,Ink Mines,Thermal Ink,Haunt, and theSting Ray.

In version4.3.0, Cold-Blooded was retired, and its effects were combined withBomb Defense Up to make a new ability:Bomb Defense Up DX. The default ability of all gear with Cold-Blooded (except theGray FA-11 Bomber,Pearlescent Crown, andFringed Loafers, which are not available inSplatNet 2 to have alternate main abilities) was changed toMain Power Up, while existing gear with the Cold-Blooded ability was overwritten with Bomb Defense Up DX.

Tactics

Cold-Blooded is rather versatile, as any weapon or play style can benefit from not being tracked. However, it reaches its full potential when used with a stealthy and mobile weapon, such as theCarbon Roller orOctobrush as it can enhance the sneakiness of a weapon, facilitating ambushes. A loud or otherwise conspicuous weapon may give itself away to surrounding enemies with no tracking needed.

Trivia

• InSplatoon 2, Cold-Blooded was the only ability that was favored by two brands.
  • Additionally, after being retired inversion 4.3.0,Main Power Up replaced Cold-Blooded as well as its favored brands.
• In real life, all squids areectothermic, or "cold-blooded", which the Cold-Blooded ability could be a reference to.
