The Aerosol Bomb with Medium-Range Sensor is an Aerosol Bomb fitted with a motion sensor. Once armed, it explodes when it detects movement within about 4 tiles. The blast throws out shrapnel and starts a scatter of small fires, just like the thrown version.
It sits between the short and long range sensor bombs. The wider trigger catches zombies on a broader approach than the short-range version. The bomb is made with the Add Medium-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe at Electrical 4. 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 Medium-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 4 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. Walking back past an armed bomb is a quick way to get hurt.
The medium range suits a short stretch of road or a yard in front of a base. The short-range version is better for a single doorway. The long-range version covers the widest area.
Uses
The Add Medium-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe takes an Aerosol Bomb, a Motion Sensor, three Scrap Electronics and a Duct Tape. It needs Electrical 4. The same recipe fits a medium-range sensor to a Fire Bomb, a Noise Maker, a Pipe Bomb or a Smoke Bomb.

Locations
The Aerosol Bomb with Medium-Range Sensor turns up in one kind of place: a hidden bomb cache. Inside the cache it sits in a bomb box, which holds one about one time in five. That is a good chance for an explosive. Finding a ready-made one saves the Motion Sensor, the Scrap Electronics and the Electrical 4 the recipe would need.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.

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 costs one more Scrap Electronics than the short-range version.
- Researching it can teach the Add Medium-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe.
