E-liter 3K

The E-liter 3K❌, or E-Litre 3K, is a Main Weapon in .

Description
The E-liter 3K is a type of charger. It has a long charge time but has a very impressive range, and can instantly take opponents out. "A charger with a high-capacity tank. By packing a lot of ink into each shot, it can strike from a great distance... at the cost of long charge time and ferocious ink consumption."

- In-Game Description

"The is designed to withstand extreme pressure, allowing you to charge it up even further! As a result, it has incredible range and truly fearsome attack power! It's great for forging a path forward.

Hit nearby foes with Burst Bombs, and then make sure they've got nowhere to hide with the Echolocator!"

Using the E-liter 3K
Being the second longest ranged weapon in, the one with the largest range being the E-liter 3K Scope, the E-liter 3K can deal with opposing chargers. They are essential in providing cover and locking down choke points on a stage, allowing the rest of the team to move. The Burst Bombs can be used to more effectively to take out enemies who get too close then follow up with semi-fire. The charger can splat on about 75% charge. Meanwhile, the Echolocator can track enemy Inklings submerged in ink or who are approaching.

Splat shooters before they get too close. If they do, either use Burst Bombs to kill/slow down the enemy, or swim back to regain the range advantage.
 * Against Shooters

Splat rollers before they get too close. This should be easy, as Rollers are exposed out of ink a lot more than other Weapon classes. However, Inkbrushes are trickier since they move quickly. Treat these like Shooters or relocate.
 * Against Rollers

Use range to simply pick off other chargers. This is what the E-liter 3K does best.
 * Against other Chargers

Going against an E-liter-3K
Charger-type weapons don't cover as much turf as the Shooter or Roller weapon types. If the player with the weapon is camping, they are essentially not contributing in Turf War. If possible, use another route to continue progressing whilst they do nothing. Alternatively, splat them from behind whilst they are looking down the scope. Short-range is a charger's nightmare. If the charger is locking down a choke-hold, lay down ink and rush with your teammates or use Sub Weapons or Special Weapons to get them to move.
