- For the main weapon with the same name, see Blaster.
Blasters are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.
Blasters are fully-automatic weapons that fire large globs of ink that travel forward and conclude their path with an explosion. They typically have a relatively low fire rate and high ink consumption compared to many other weapons.
Classification
While blasters have been in the Splatoon series since Splatoon, games prior to Splatoon 3 classified them as shooters because the two classes share some technical characteristics. From Splatoon 3 onward, blasters are classified as a separate class.

Note: The series are arranged by their respective order in the weapon select screen with the Main filter.
