Bamboozler 14 Mk I
The Bamboozler 14 Mk I is main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
The Bamboozler 14 Mk I has an extremely high charge rate, the highest of the chargers, allowing shots to be fired off in quick succession. It also has decent range and mobility. However, while it is the quickest charger, it is also the weakest; it cannot splat an enemy in one hit, even when fully charged. However, unlike other chargers the range remains constant regardless of charge.
The Bamboozler consumes 7% of the ink-tank with each fully charged shot, allowing users to fire 14 shots before needing to refill.
