Sprinkler

The Sprinkler is a Sub Weapon in Splatoon.

Description

When used, the Sprinkler continually sprays ink in a circular ring around itself, in a staggering motion, until it is broken by enemy fire. It can be thrown onto virtually any surface, including ones that are upside-down. If the user throws another sprinkler with one already in use, the first one will automatically break. It deals 30 damage per ink drop.

Notes

“	This device functions just like a lawn sprinkler, spreading ink over a modest 360-degree radius. The narrow streams of ink don’t inflict much damage, but Sprinklers are a good way to maintain ink coverage in high-traffic areas during both Turf War and Splat Zones. Instead of tossing it on the ground, where it’s likely to be spotted and destroyed, consider throwing it high on a wall—it will stick to any surface, like a Suction Bomb. But you can only deploy one Sprinkler at a time. If you toss a second one out, the first one will disappear. Enemy Sprinklers can be destroyed by shooting them. If left untouched, a Sprinkler will continue spreading ink indefinitely.	”

Tips

• The most effective spots for Sprinklers are those that are hard to see or reach. These include on top of boxes, sideways on walls, or on objects over the stage.
• Exploring stages in Recon mode makes it easy to find strategic locations for Sprinklers without the pressure of a battle.
• Putting a Sprinkler directly at one's feet can allow a chance to react should an enemy launch a sneak attack.
• Sprinklers placed on or near the tower in Tower Control can provide some cover for the user and their allies.
