The Smoke Bomb with Medium-Range Sensor is a Smoke Bomb fitted with a motion sensor. Once armed, it releases its smoke when it detects movement within about 4 tiles. The smoke calms the zombies caught in it and deals no damage.
It sits between the short and long range sensor smoke bombs. The wider trigger catches zombies on a broader approach than the short-range version. It is made with the Add Medium-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe at Electrical 4. It is also a common find in bomb caches. 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 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 goes off without warning when anything moves within about 4 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 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 a Smoke Bomb, a Motion Sensor, three Scrap Electronics and a Duct Tape. It needs Electrical 4 and must be learned first. The same recipe fits a medium-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, 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.
