Slosher (weapon class)



Sloshers are one of the main weapon classifications in the Splatoon series. These bucket-like weapons either hurl a mass of ink that falls on anything below its path, or arcing projectile(s), straight ahead at a long range and can be used to splat opponents high up or on the other side of an obstacle or ledge.

The first weapon in this class, the Slosher, was released in Version of Splatoon on 2015-08-06.
