- This page is about the special weapon from Splatoon 3. For the variant appearing in Splatoon, see Bubbler. For the similarly-named special weapon from Splatoon 2, see Bubble Blower.
The Big Bubbler is a special weapon in Splatoon 3. It is a spherical barrier that blocks incoming enemy attacks and allows teammates to Super Jump to it like a Beakon.
Appearance
The Big Bubbler consists of three parts: the barrier generator, its launcher, and the barrier itself. The launcher is an Inkling (or Octoling) sized spinning top launcher which changes color to match the user's ink, faces upwards, and has a Squid Beakon-esque contraption of the same color at the top. It has a black ripcord, which is pulled off when the the generator is launched upwards. The generator itself has an hemispherical shape, changes color to match the user's ink, and has a white aerial screw on the top as its propeller. The barrier itself is a big translucent sphere that changes color to match the user's ink with similarly-colored lines going across it.
Splatoon 3
When activated, the player places a Beakon-like launcher at their feet and launches a generator into the air that emits a large, spherical barrier. This barrier blocks incoming enemy attacks but cannot block opponents from passing through it nor enemy attacks coming from within the barrier. Shots blocked by the Big Bubbler damage it, shrinking the barrier and reducing its active time. Attacks that hit the launcher or the generator deal increased damage. While the Big Bubbler is active, players on the same team can super jump to it.
If deployed underneath an object, the generator can get stuck, resulting in a smaller barrier being emitted. If the user tries to deploy the Big Bubbler in the air, too close to an edge, or underneath very low ceilings, the special cannot be used and will give a "Can't Use!" prompt.
Moving platforms that intersect with the launcher will destroy the Big Bubbler while platforms that intersect with the generator will not. If placed on a moving platform, both the launcher and the hovering generator will move with it. If placed on the Tower in Tower Control, the Big Bubbler will degrade much more quickly and will last for half its base duration.
