'''Chargers''' are one of the [[main weapon]] classes in the {{Ss}}. | |||
As their name suggests, chargers are capable of building up power to fire high-velocity, high-power straight lines of ink and as such, they fill the archetype of a [[wikipedia:Sniper_rifle|sniper rifle]]-style weapon class. | |||
== | ==General mechanics== | ||
Chargers are generally mid- to long-range weapons with high ink consumption. They have the ability to charge up their shots in order to increase their range and damage, and the majority of chargers are lethal at full charge. Some chargers are additionally equipped with a scope; this causes the camera to change to a first-person perspective and zoom in when charging, allowing for greater clarity at a distance but with a reduced field of vision. | |||
Starting in {{S2}}, most chargers received the ability to store a charge, allowing them to hold {{button|ZR|Switch}} while swimming to retain a charge for a brief time. Additionally, in ''Splatoon 2'', most chargers received the ability to pierce opponents with fully charged shots. | |||

** However, if they are moving while aiming, both of their eyes remain open. | |||
* Unlike in the original [[Salmon Run]], the scoped variants of chargers are not available to use in [[Salmon Run Next Wave]]. | |||

- Sniper redirects here. For the Octarian unit, see Octosniper.
Chargers are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.
As their name suggests, chargers are capable of building up power to fire high-velocity, high-power straight lines of ink and as such, they fill the archetype of a sniper rifle-style weapon class.
General mechanics
Chargers are generally mid- to long-range weapons with high ink consumption. They have the ability to charge up their shots in order to increase their range and damage, and the majority of chargers are lethal at full charge. Some chargers are additionally equipped with a scope; this causes the camera to change to a first-person perspective and zoom in when charging, allowing for greater clarity at a distance but with a reduced field of vision.
Starting in Splatoon 2, most chargers received the ability to store a charge, allowing them to hold while swimming to retain a charge for a brief time. Additionally, in Splatoon 2, most chargers received the ability to pierce opponents with fully charged shots.
