Weapon

"As an Inkling, you can use weapons and ink your turf. Be sure to experiment with different weapon sets!"

- Splatoon official site

Weapons are tools used in Splatoon to spread ink and splatter enemy Inklings. They can be purchased from Ammo Knights with Cash earned from online multiplayer matches. Weapons are always in a predefined set of a Main Weapon, a Sub Weapon, and a Special Weapon. Sub Weapons, or secondary weapons, consume considerably more ink than Main Weapons and usually serve specialized purposes limited to specific combat situations. Special Weapons are powerful weapons that can only be used after filling up the Special Gauge by covering enough ground with ink.

Main
All weapons have a standard version and an alternative branded version with a different Sub Weapon and Special Weapon equipped.

List of Weapon Sets
In Splatoon, each weapon comes as a predefined set. For example, the standard Splat Roller comes with the Suction Bomb and the Killer Wail as its sub and special weapons, respectively. You cannot have a Splat Roller with the Seeker and Inkstrike, as there is no predefined set for the Splat Roller that includes the Seeker and Inkstrike.

However, there are alternates of every classes. An example of this is the Krak-On Splat Roller, which uses the Squid Beakon and Kraken rather than the Suction Bomb and Killer Wail that the classic Splat Roller sports.
