Explosher

The Explosher (エクスプロッシャー) is an upcoming Main weapon in Splatoon 2. It is a heavy slosher-type weapon that shoots an accurate, slow, long-range projectile that goes through inklings and explodes on landing. It is scheduled to be released in the July 2018 content update.

Appearance
The Explosher is a large olive-green jerrycan with a metal pipe going around it and serving as the handle. It has an orange shock absorber spring on each side and on the front is a pressure gauge and a shuttered opening serving as the weapon's muzzle. The inside of the Explosher radiates a light with the user's ink color, appearing to be radioactive. There is also heat distortion rising from the muzzle. The shuttered opening, as well as the interior and the hear distortion, make it seem that it was assembled from a jet heater.

Trivia

 * The Explosher's stats, under the codename "Washtub" were datamined from the Version 3.0.0 data prior to its official announcement.
