Slosher (weapon class)
From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
- For the main weapon with the same name, see Slosher.
Sloshers are one of the main weapon classifications in the Splatoon series. These bucket-like weapons either hurl a mass of ink that falls on anything below its path, or arc projectiles straight ahead at a long range, and can be used to splat opponents high up or on the other side of an obstacle or ledge.
The first weapon in this class, the Slosher, was released in Version 2.0.0 of Splatoon on 6 August 2015.
