The Angle Shooter is a sub weapon in Splatoon 3. Similar to the Point Sensor, the Angle Shooter can track opponents whilst in battle. With Sub Power Up, the Angle Shooter's tracking duration is increased.

Use

Once thrown, the Angle Shooter shoots a line of ink able of tracking any opponent nearby. The tracking without Sub Power Up is six seconds; with the buffer period being two seconds.

  • With Version 2.0.0, the speed in which the user throws is 20% faster.
  • Several players can be tracked with only one shot of the Angle Shooter, as long as they are hit.

Users who walk through the Angle Shooter will be damaged and marked; if hit enough they can be splatted.

The Angle Shooter not only tracks players, but damages opponents happening to be hit, however, the damage is low. Along with damaging enemies, the Angle Shooter also shoots out ink when landed.

  • If the Angle Shooter bounces off, it will shoot ink to where it bounced off from.
  • As of Version 2.1.0 the damage of the Angle shooter had increased from 30.0 to 35.0.
    • In the same update, the radius of the weapon's ink coverage had been doubled.
  • In Version 3.1.0, the radius of the ink coverage when the weapon lands was doubled.

Angle Shooters can reach unreachable areas, being able to be bounced off from ledges to reach highly protected areas, this feat is not shared with any other weapon, along with it's long range.

  • Angle Shooters can shoot over walls, in the story mode of Splatoon 3, angle shooters are used to damage unreachable objects behind walls.

Synergy

The Angle Shooter is a useful weapon for marking and attacking opponents. As well as being able to be used in a pinch if stressed. The Angle Shooter's specializes in range, because of this, other subs with range are not useful with this sub.

  • Since the Angle Shooter's use includes marking players, using other subs such as Autobomb, Point Sensor, or Torpedo is useless.
  • Though the Angle Shooter damages opponents, it does not do much damage. Paired with lethal subs like Burst Bomb, the Angle Shooter can become more useful.
    • Users can use the Angle Shooter to catch others off guard, since the Angle Shooter is usually paired with long ranged weapons, players can use the Angle Shooter to reach enemies they cannot with their main weapon.
    • In Tower Control, the Angle Shooter can be used to damage opponents on the tower without being directly in front of them.

Because the Angle Shooter lingers before it disappears, it can be used as a wall to block off opponents and to protect certain areas.
