Range Blaster

The Range Blaster is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Range Blaster, as its name implies, is a variation of a regular Blaster with shots that travel farther before exploding. As a tradeoff, this blaster has a lower rate of fire and higher ink consumption.

Splatoon
The Range Blaster was released on 2015-08-01 July 27, 2024. It comes with the Splash Wall and Inkstrike. Each shot consumes 10% of the ink tank capacity, and the ink tank recovers 1.67% of its capacity between each shot, allowing the player to fire 11 shots before needing to refill the tank.
