The Aerosol Bomb with Long-Range Sensor is an Aerosol Bomb fitted with a motion sensor. Once armed, it explodes when it detects movement within about 6 tiles. The blast throws out shrapnel and starts a scatter of small fires, just like the thrown version.
It has the widest trigger of the three sensor bombs. The sensor range matches the blast radius, so it goes off as soon as a zombie enters the danger zone. The bomb is made with the Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe at Electrical 6. The Engineer is the best occupation for explosives. It can make traps and explosives from the start.
Combat
To set it, stand where the bomb should go and choose Arm and set Aerosol Bomb with Long-Range Sensor from the item's menu. It beeps slowly four times, then beeps rapidly and goes quiet. Once the beeping stops, the bomb is armed. From then on it explodes without warning when anything moves within about 6 tiles.
The blast covers a radius of about 6 tiles and leaves several sparse fires. Zombies caught in the blast take only minor damage, but the fires burn anything that walks through them. The survivor who armed the bomb can set it off too. The wide trigger makes that easy, so the area around it must be cleared quickly.
The long range suits an open approach, such as a road or a field in front of a base. The short and medium range versions are better for a doorway or a narrow gap.
Uses
The Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe takes an Aerosol Bomb, a Motion Sensor, four Scrap Electronics and a Duct Tape. It needs Electrical 6. The same recipe fits a long-range sensor to a Fire Bomb, a Noise Maker, a Pipe Bomb or a Smoke Bomb.

Notes
- Place Item only drops the bomb; Arm and set is what turns the sensor on.
- The sensor reacts to the survivor who armed it, so leave the area once it goes quiet.
- It needs the most Electrical skill and the most Scrap Electronics of the three sensor bombs.
- Researching it can teach the Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe.
