Shock Bomb

The Shock Bomb is an item in ARMS. It appears attached to the ARMS drone and detaches when struck or collided with by a player. After being released, the bomb begins beeping and starts a short countdown. When the timer finishes, it explodes, applying the Electric debuff to any fighters caught in the blast and dealing 50 damage. The explosion’s damage and effect can be completely negated by blocking.
Bombs remain inactive while held by the drone, and can persist for most of a match if neither player engages with them. Once dropped, the Shock Bomb can still be pushed around by punches until it detonates.
Appearence
The Shock Bomb is a round, metallic, cartoon-style bomb made up of hexagonal panels. It features an electrical hazard icon. Two exposed wires sit on top of the bomb. The bomb constantly emits small electrical discharges, giving it a faint aura of crackling energy.
Bonus Event (Party Crash)
- Bombs Away!: Bombs are constantly dropped during the match.
- Bombs Away! (1-on-1): Bombs are constantly dropped during the match. One on one matches only.
Trivia
- The Shock Bomb is labelled internally as 'Obj_DrumThunder' and uses the 'Obj_Itm_Thunder' model.
- The model has an unused animation labelled 'Wait', which seems to be for a humanoid-like character.
