- For the main weapon type, see Slosher (weapon class).
- For other items commonly referred to as buckets, see bucket.
The Slosher is a main weapon in the Splatoon series.
The Slosher is a bucket of ink that can be swung to splatter turf and enemies in a straight line. The trajectory of the ink can be adjusted to strike enemies behind walls or on above high surfaces. It's strong enough to splat opponents in only two shots.
The Slosher deals constant damage no matter how far away the ink travels, as opposed to rollers and shooters dealing less damage as ink travel farther due to fall-off damage. However, there is still fall-off damage when targeting opponents below the player, dealing less than maximum damage.
Appearance
The Slosher is a black bucket surrounded by metal supports that double as handles. Two springs are included in this structure, one on each side of the bucket. There is a flat arch shape attached to the back of the bucket, which conforms to its shape.
In Splatoon, the supports are dark pink-purple with lighter oval spots, and a black arrow design and inkling text on the side; the springs are orange-yellow, with a black plastic mechanism attached to it and the supports, which does not return in the other games, and the arch on the back of the bucket is black. In Splatoon 2, the supports are glossy reddish-orange, the springs are black, and the arch is silver. In Splatoon 3, the supports are glossy, have reflective sparkles, and appear to be iridescent, changing to the user's ink color at extreme viewing angles, and otherwise have a gradient from the user's current ink color tinted pink on the handle-side, to purplish magenta, to pastel dark blue on the bucket-side. How visible the color on the handle-side of the gradient is depends on the hue, intensity, and lightness of the color, some lighter and less intense colors appear almost white, while some darker colors are very intense. The springs of the slosher in Splatoon 3 are a metallic silver, the arch on the back is black, and uniquely, the small metal loops on the supports that connect to either end of the springs are a red-orange, rather than being the same color as the rest of the frame.
In all three games, the main handle is silver, but in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, there is some black padding that covers the main part of the handle. There is a reservoir of ink inside the bucket itself that changes color to match that of the user. There is a Deco logo in white on the back of the top of the bucket.

Sheldon's Introduction
The Slosher is the most basic Slosher-type weapon, able to fling a large amount of ink directly ahead.
It's also remarkably effective at splatting opponents who are up high or behind a wall! The Slosher lacks rapid-fire capabiliteis, so the Burst Bombs should help out there! And the Inkstrike special can deliver a powerful blow to unsuspecting opponents as well.(NA)[a] |

“ | This might look like an ordinary bucket, but it’s actually a weapons-grade bucket! Hurl ink straight ahead over an impressive range, and adjust your angles to hit opponents above you or behind walls. The Slosher comes with Burst Bombs and the special is a hot pastrami on rye! Er, wait. Sorry. I mean Inkstrike. Got a little excited about today’s lunch delivery. | ” |

Quotes
Sheldon's Introduction
The Slosher can be a brutal weapon in the right hands. It's basically a bucket of ink that you can toss straight at an opponent! Slosher-type weapons can do things other weapons only wish they could. It’s great for attacking elevated positions behind walls. It can’t fire rapidly, but if you combine it with the Suction Bomb's explosion, you can defeat opponents without being seen! Reveal your opponents' locations with the Tenta Missiles, and then fire away! It’s a great weapon for Slosher newbs! |

Quotes
Sheldon's Introduction
The Slosher is one of the most technologically advanced weapons I have had the privilege of demoing. I'm kidding! It's a bucket of ink! But that doesn't mean it can't be absolutely brutal in the right hands. See, slosher-type weapons are perfect for attacking enemies in elevated positions or hiding behind walls. They think they're safe, and then... SPLOOOSH! You can't rapid-fire a bucket, of course, but in conjunction with Splat Bombs, you can stop almost anyone in their tracks. And with the Triple Inkstrike special, you have the ability to blindside the other team before moving in for the splat. This loadout is a bucketload of fun! |

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The Slosher appears as Inkling's down smash attack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of other weapons that she uses in her attacks.
When attacking, she charges up and swings the Slosher to the left and right to deal damage. This also coats opponents in ink but does not ink the ground. It deals much lower damage if Inkling is out of ink. In a victory scene, Inkling spins the Slosher like in Splatoon.
