The Sloshing Machine launches a small mortar-like glob that is trailed by a vortex of [[ink]]. The glob leaves a path of ink while it travels, and bursts on contact with a surface or an enemy [[Inkling]]. Most notably, the vortex of ink allows the Sloshing Machine to do splash damage to enemies alongside the glob of ink if a direct is not landed.

The Sloshing Machine's splash damage allows it to fulfill roles similar to that of a [[blasters]]. More specifically, it is very similar to the [[Rapid Blaster]] with respect to splash damage, direct damage, range, and speed. However, unlike blaster weapons which have a large exploding splash radius at their maximum reach, the Sloshing Machine will deal splash damage to anything alongside the glob as it travels. Additionally, the heavy arc of the projectile makes the weapon ideal for dealing with enemies behind cover, or enemies atop a platform, like the tower in [[Tower Control]]. These capabilities, however, come at the cost of lower attack-speed and turf coverage when compared to more traditional [[Slosher (weapon class)|sloshers]].

The Sloshing Machine is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Sloshing Machine launches a small mortar-like glob that is trailed by a vortex of ink. The glob leaves a path of ink while it travels, and bursts on contact with a surface or an enemy. Most notably, the vortex of ink allows the Sloshing Machine to do splash damage to enemies alongside the glob of ink if a direct hit is not landed.

The Sloshing Machine's splash damage allows it to fulfill roles similar to that of a blaster. More specifically, it is very similar to the Rapid Blaster concerning splash damage, direct damage, range, and speed. However, unlike blaster weapons which have a large exploding splash radius at their maximum reach, the Sloshing Machine will deal splash damage to anything alongside the glob as it travels. Additionally, the heavy arc of the projectile makes the weapon ideal for dealing with enemies behind cover, or enemies atop a platform, like the tower in Tower Control. These capabilities, however, come at the cost of lower attack-speed and turf coverage when compared to more traditional sloshers.
