Reefslider
Please review our policy on rumors and leaks before adding leaked information.
The Reefslider is a special weapon in the upcoming game Splatoon 3.
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 (it is uncertain if this path is based on the direction of the user or the camera). 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]

Quotes
“ | SRL here on Weapon Wednesday with new info about the Reefslider special. To call it an "exploding shark motorcycle" would be reductive, but... annoyingly accurate. Hop on, aim in the direction of what you want to splat, and let it rip. Press at any time for early detonation!
Linguistics just informed us that "Weapon Wednesday" isn't a thing. To make up for this misstep, here's footage of the Reefslider in action! Notice the brief moment of vulnerability at activation, followed by invulnerability until detonation. And no steering! Aim carefully... |
