Blasters are a variant of Shooters in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 and their own main weapon class in Splatoon 3. Blasters are able to fire large globs of ink with a delayed explosion. The explosion allows users to attack opponents located behind obstacles or around corners.
Blasters being their own class was hinted at via a Twitter post on 27 June 2022[1] and later substantiated by the ingame sorting of the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere.

Quotes
“ | Squid Research Lab Ballistics Team here with a report on blaster-type weapons. As the name implies, blasters eject ink that explodes at a distance. This allows for advanced tactics such as "totally splatting campers who are hiding behind walls." We'll workshop a name for that. | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[1]

Trivia
Splatoon
- Blasters have the same winning and losing animations as Shooters since they are categorized under the same class in this game.
Splatoon 2
- When sorting by type, Blasters are grouped between automatic and burst-fire shooters.
- Selecting any Blaster and sorting by type would always make the next weapon the Sploosh-o-matic, before continuing with the internal order of the shooters.
Splatoon 3
- Blasters having their own category when sorting weapons in the selection screen makes this their first time as a standalone class.
- They have their own winning and emote animations seperate from Shooters making this the first game with their own animations.
