Revision as of 06:16, 27 September 2022
The Reefslider is a special weapon in Splatoon 3. It summons a ridden inflatable pool toy that quickly travels forward, splatting opponents on impact, and explodes, either when the user stops it or when its maximum distance is reached.
Appearance
The Reefslider is similar in appearance to an inflatable pool toy, with the overall design of a shark. The shark has several scratches on its body and a muzzle on its face, while soda bottles are attached to the base of the tail.
When activated, a straight path that appears resembles a pair of jetski buoy barriers.
Splatoon 3
When activated, the user pulls out an inflatable toy shark and a straight path appears in the same direction as the camera is facing. The user then rides the toy shark, rushing across the straight path, splatting opponents upon contact. At the end of the path, the toy shark stops in place and lets out a blast of ink, splatting opponents in its radius. The explosion can also be triggered prematurely by straying off the path or pressing .[1][2]

Trivia
- The ending animation of the special may reference the iconic motorcycle slide in the 1988 anime film Akira.
- Unlike most weapons with a visible path of travel, the Reefslider cannot be aimed before firing; it is immediately fired upon pressing
. Additionally, both the path and the explosion radius can be seen by other players.
