The Smoke Bomb with Long-Range Sensor is a Smoke Bomb fitted with a motion sensor. Once armed, it releases its smoke when it detects movement within about 5 tiles. The smoke calms the zombies caught in it and deals no damage.
It has the widest trigger of the three sensor smoke bombs. That lets it catch zombies on a broad approach before they reach a wall or a door. It is made with the Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe at Electrical 6. It is never found as loot. 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 Smoke 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 goes off without warning when anything moves within about 5 tiles.
The smoke pacifies zombies inside its area the moment it goes off. Those zombies can still follow the movement of a horde around them. A large crowd that the smoke missed can pull the calmed zombies along, so the effect works best on a small group. The survivor who armed the bomb can set it off too.
The long range suits an open yard, a road or a wide approach to a base. The short and medium range versions fit tighter spots such as doorways.
Uses
The Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe takes a Smoke Bomb, a Motion Sensor, four Scrap Electronics and a Duct Tape. It needs Electrical 6 and must be learned first. The same recipe fits a long-range sensor to an Aerosol Bomb, a Fire Bomb, a Noise Maker or a Pipe 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, and its wide range makes that easy to forget.
- It costs the most Scrap Electronics of the three sensor versions.
- Researching it can teach the Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe.
