The Sensor Bomb is mostly useful in a multiplayer match. It should be placed behind corners to surprise enemy players. Its major disadvantage is that it also reacts to the player who placed the bomb, so it's important to remember where it was placed. The bomb emits a red, circular light after being placed, so it can be spotted.
 
Another drawback is that the Sensor Bomb is an indirect weapon that needs to be placed first. It is not recommended to run through a map while carrying it, as you can be surprised by an enemy without being able to defend.
 
So when placing a Sensor Bomb, enemy players should not be nearby. Characters with a tail, like Fox McCloud, are especially vulnerable when placing it, as they bend forward during placement, raising their tail which lets them be exposed to enemy fire while almost maintaining their hitbox size compared to standing.
 
There is barely any tactical use for it during singleplayer on-foot missions because enemies rarely follow a defined path, hence can hardly be triggering an explosion.
