Blaster (weapon class)



Blasters are one of the main weapon classifications in the Splatoon series. Blasters are able to fire large globs of ink with a delayed explosion. The explosion allows users to attack opponents located behind obstacles or around corners.

In and, these weapons were classified as Shooters. When sorting by type in the latter game, they were grouped between automatic and burst-fire shooters. Selecting any blaster and sorting by type would always make the next weapon the Sploosh-o-matic, before continuing with the internal order of the shooters.

As of, they are their own weapon type. This was confirmed via a Twitter post on 2022-06-27.
