Shots travel straight for 4 frames. After that, they may lose damage. A shot will lose damage until it reaches 17.5 damage at frame 15.

A slower brush with decent range. Movement speed while sliding along the ground is a bit slower compared to the Inkbrush. While mobility accessibility may need some work, Nintendo has made sure that this game is accessible to all skill levels. Beginners or people of lower skill aren't punished for not being an eSports athlete, as being splatted or losing a game won't impair your experience. People can't go down levels by losing, and while Ranked Mode players can go down in rank if they lose too many times in a row, they aren't barred from playing for losing and can't go below C- rank; which is also true for Salmon Run. A modified rare weapon based on the Tri-Stringer, only available in Salmon Run Next Wave. It possesses a greatly increased number of spread projectiles (nine to the three of other stringers), as well as the same delayed explosions of the Tri-Stringer's charged projectiles. It possesses extreme damage potential when all projectiles hit, although this can be difficult due to its extremely wide spread and irregularly-arranged reticles.A mid-range, mid-damage pair of dualies with a low fire rate. Their dodge rolls are slow, but shot damage and range increase after a dodge roll instead of fire rate, allowing it to splat opponents with one fewer shot at greater distances. A Splat Charger with a scope, for extra range and precision at the cost of the inability to store charges. It is implied that not just Octolings but all Octarians are unable to survive in water, as they took part in the Great Turf War for land in response to rising sea levels. A modified rare weapon based on the Sloshing Machine, only available in Salmon Run and Salmon Run Next Wave. It fires swirling projectiles akin to the Sloshing Machine's, but with greatly increased damage and a piercing effect strong enough to penetrate even armored Boss Salmonids.

The Sting Ray fires a continuous laser that can go through walls. When not firing, users can see the silhouettes of any opponents that are not hiding in ink and are far enough away. Mobility is impaired while activated. Modified Splatana Stamper. A high-damage, short-range splatana with low ink consumption. Both slashes have extremely limited range, but are highly damaging. The charged slash can pierce armor and has a long distance dash but has a long charge time. One of our interns recently saw a squid guy fall into a creek during a Turf War, and guess what?! The squid dissolved! This suggests that these creatures can't maintain a solid form when submerged in water. Does this mean that they're actually made of liquid? If the player gets splatted by water, the time it takes for them to respawn will be shorter than if they got splatted by other means. This means that jumping into water deliberately can be a useful strategy if a player is about to get splatted by an opponent but is near to water. The Salmonids have a trade agreement with the Octarians, in which the Salmonids provide Power Eggs used as energy sources in exchange for Octarian weapons and machinery. [2] In addition to operating Octarian weapons and machinery, Salmonids use common kitchen tools as weapons.The Echolocator reveals the locations of all enemies for teammates to see on the field and the map. When firing from humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out. When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 11 frames to come out. The Ink Storm creates a rain cloud of ink. The rain cloud gradually drifts above the map, inking the ground and damaging any enemies beneath it. This special can be activated and then held indefinitely if it is not thrown.

In Splatoon 2, the Splattershot's model from the first game can still be seen when using the original Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy amiibo. A heavier Splatana compared to the standard. It has a slower rate of fire, but its ink projectiles are wider, travel further, and deal more damage. Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units. The standard stringer, with long range but no charge hold. Reaching the first level of charge allows its shots to lodge themselves in terrain briefly before exploding. The Octolings, the Inklings' Octarian counterparts, have the Octoshot, which resembles the Splattershot.The impact of these aesthetic choices can’t be overstated. The simplicity of Splatoon 3’s design—a few dozen single-player missions, cooperative endurance tests that pit players against waves of shambling fish-people, and competitive battles with straightforward objectives—helps ease players into a genre whose jargon-filled menus and nested multiplayer modes lead to matches often too fiercely, self-seriously complex and competitive to seem welcoming. Continually sprays ink in a circular area around itself in a staggering motion, until it is broken by enemy fire or the deployer gets splatted. It can be thrown onto virtually any surface.
