TheCurling Bomb is asub weapon inSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3. It is a bomb that slides forward, leaving behind an ink trail, until it explodes.

Appearance

The Curling Bomb is a short black cylinder with a gray handle on top and panels on the side that change color to match the user's ink. It bears a strong resemblance to acurling stone. There are green lights on the top that turn red when the Curling Bomb is about to explode. The Curling Bombs used byAgent 4 inOcto Canyon have a darker handle and blue, oval-shaped lights instead of rectangular green ones.

    When deployed, the Curling Bomb travels straight across the floor, leaving a trail ofink and bouncing off any wall or obstacle it encounters. It explodes after it has traveled its maximum distance. The maximum distance of the Curling Bomb may be shortened by charging, or 'cooking' it with before release - unless it is coming from aCurling-Bomb Launcher, in which case, this increases its travel distance. 'Cooking' the Curling Bomb also causes it to grow larger, increasing the amount of turf it inks as it travels and the size of its blast radius.

    While traveling, the Curling Bomb deals 20 damage to enemies it comes into contact with. Upon detonation, it deals 180 damage to enemies in the main blast radius and 30 damage to enemies in the outer blast radius.

    The Curling Bomb is comparable to theSeeker fromSplatoon, though it excels in path-making as it cannot be 'distracted' by enemyInklings andOctolings. The wall-bouncing and cooking capabilities of the Curling Bomb also hold versatility over the Seeker.

    It appears in twoOcto Expansion Stations:

    Notes

    • The circle on the top of the Curling Bomb displays the amount of time left before it detonates.
    • As it approaches its maximum distance, the Curling Bomb makes the same sound effect as a primedSplat Bomb.
    • The Curling Bomb slows down as it approaches its maximum distance.
    • LEDs surrounding the handle of the Curling Bomb light up as the bomb is 'cooked'.
    • If the player remains idle after deploying the Curling Bomb, the player remains in a weaponless stance and performs a fist pump and nods upon the bomb exploding.
    • If the player is low onink and tries to release a Curling Bomb, they look down at their hand to see nothing, instead of looking back like othersub weapons.

    Quotes

    “Abomb that slides along the ground,inking it as it goes, before finally exploding. It bounces back if it hits a wall. Pressing and holding allows you to adjust the time to detonation. The longer you hold, the sooner the bomb will detonate.”

    Side Order

    Curling Bombs appear inSide Order as the base sub weapon ofPearl's andMurch'sPalette. They also appear as a purchasable sub weapon onVending-Machine CornerFloors, costing 500Membux by default.

    Notes

    • The facial expressions of the player when remaining idle as the Curling Bomb explodes has changed to be more expressive, now having the player smile with closed eyes.

    Version history

    VersionAdjustments
    Base game
    • — Reduced the radius at which the blast can deal maximum damage to an opponent by 20% to 8% depending on how long is held: 2-5 units → 1.6-4.6 units.[1]
      • Although the blast radius was reduced, the way the game handles hit detection for the inner blast radius was changed, thus the effective blast radius remains about the same.
    5.1.0▲ Reduced the amount of ink consumed when using a standard ink tank from 70% to 65%.

    Quotes

    “A bomb that moves in a straight line,inking the ground before it explodes. It also bounces off walls! You can adjust the length of time until detonation by holding down.”
