Inkzooka
Template:Infobox weapon The Inkzooka is a Special Weapon in Splatoon.
Description
When the Inkzooka is fully charged (Or acquired in Octo Valley from a Canned Special), you are able to shoot just about as many lines of ink pillars as you want within roughly a six second time period.
Notes
| “ | This shoulder-fired bazooka-like weapon fires swirling tornados of ink, instantly splatting opponents and leaving behind a narrow ink trail. This is by no means a precision weapon, but while active, you can fire the Inkzooka continuously for approximately six seconds, sending multiple twisters of ink across the stage. But be careful where you fire the Inkzooka. The recoil of each shot nudges you backward. If you’re standing near a ledge, this recoil may knock you off the side of the stage. You could also get pushed backward into enemy ink, so make sure the area around your feet is thoroughly coated in your team’s ink. The Inkzooka is also difficult to fire when aiming down over a ledge. For best results, activate Inkzooka when you’re on the same level as your opponent or just below them. | ” |

The Inkzooka has the second longest range of any weapon in the game, only bested by the E-liter 3K type weapons. The E-liters fire up to 7 Lines in the Firing Range when fully charged. The Inkzooka reaches only about six and a half.
Tips
- The Inkzooka is well-suited for taking out camping enemies, especially ones using Chargers, who often stay out of range of most weapons.
Countering
- An easy way to avoid an Inkzooka is to simply stay out of the user's line of sight. As they cannot use their Sub Weapon, their only option would be to give chase, wasting some of their Inkzooka's duration.
- A maximum of six shots can be gotten from an Inkzooka. If an enemy activates it, listen for how my times they fire; if it reaches six, the coast is clear after that.
