The '''Crab Tank''' is a [[special weapon]] in ''Splatoon 3''. It has two types of fire, a rapid fire mode, and an arcing explosion attack similar to an [[Explosher]]. It also has two modes of transport, a walking mode, where it can shoot enemies, and a rolling mode where it can ram enemies and climb up walls. In walker mode, the crab goes faster sideways, similar to an actual crab.
===Use===
Crab Tank can be used to mow down enemies attempting to make a push, or quickly disperse them if the Crab Tank's team wants to push.
* The ZR attack is a rapid fire that can easily splat opponents in open areas. This attack gets higher fire rate the longer it shoots.
** Some enemies will try to hide behind walls, but the Crab Tank can use its R attack to fire globs of ink, which act and combo similarly to the [[Explosher]].
* The Crab Tank can shift into a ball to protect itself from attacks and move more easily, and also climb walls.
** When returning to the firing mode, it takes about 0.33 seconds to start firing again.
* Putting a Crab Tank on top of a tower can serve as a makeshift shield, hindering enemy pushes, with the added bonus of having a constant stream of shots. However, the player must take note of which direction the enemies are trying to seize the tower from relative to the player's position, moving the Crab Tank along the sides accordingly.
* Since the Crab Tank has a separate health pool and is unhindered by enemy ink, it's a decent choice for Clam Blitz, as it can carry clams or Power Clams by rolling into the enemy base.
 
===Synergy===
* The Crab Tank is useful with specials like [[Zipcaster]], as it can help for charging forward.
* It is powerful with short range weapons as it can clear an area for other players to rush forward.
* [[Special Power Up]] can be helpful with this special as it increases duration.
