The Crab Tank can walk and strafe like players, or curl up into a ball to move faster and climb up walls, [[ink]]ing the surface as it moves, similar to the [[Baller]]. Like a real crab, the tank walks faster side-to-side than it does forwards or backwards. When climbing, the crab tank cannot move left and right, only up and down. | |||
The Crab Tank has 500 HP and has varying damage multipliers against certain weapons: | |||

In walking mode, the tank has two firing modes: pressing {{Button|R|Switch}} fires a ball of ink in an arc that pierces enemies and explodes on contact similar to the [[Explosher]], while {{Button|ZR|Switch}} fires a rapid stream of bullets from two turrets, similar to [[dualie]]s. Continuously shooting with {{Button|ZR|Switch}} increases the Crab Tank's firing rate drastically; it starts with a fire rate similar to the [[.52 Gal]], but the peak rate of fire is the same as the [[Hydra Splatling]].

The Crab Tank is a special weapon in Splatoon 3. It is a piloted assault vehicle that can both rapidly fire ink shots and launch explosive ink blobs.
Appearance
The Crab Tank is a crab-shaped mech that can curl up into a ball. Its outer shell changes color to match the user's ink. It is armed with three turret-like cannons, one on each front limb, and one in the center of its body.
Splatoon 3
Category | Special |
Base damage | 32 (Rapid Fire) 30 (Cannon, Splash) 60 (Cannon, Direct Hit) 40 (Rolling) |

The Crab Tank can walk and strafe like players, or curl up into a ball to move faster and climb up walls, inking the surface as it moves, similar to the Baller. Like a real crab, the tank walks faster side-to-side than it does forwards or backwards. When climbing, the crab tank cannot move left and right, only up and down.

In walking mode, the tank has two firing modes: pressing fires a ball of ink in an arc that pierces enemies and explodes on contact similar to the Explosher, while fires a rapid stream of bullets from two turrets, similar to dualies. Continuously shooting with increases the Crab Tank's firing rate drastically; it starts with a fire rate similar to the .52 Gal, but the peak rate of fire is the same as the Hydra Splatling. Interrupting the continuous fire by rolling, using the cannon with , or letting go of will reset the fire rate to its starting point. The back of the tank, where the user sits, is a weak point accessible from above, behind, or the side. This weak point appears to have as much health as a player does, and the player is immediately splatted if the weak point is damaged enough. It is currently unknown whether resistance abilities such as Sub Resistance Up affect the weak point, and if the player retains any damage the weak point sustained once the special ends.
In ball mode, the Crab Tank can move in all directions freely and climb walls, leaving a path of ink behind itself and dealing modest contact damage to enemies. It can also do a small "crab hop" by pressing . The tank's weak point is completely protected in ball mode. Although the Crab Tank turns and adjusts its aim very slowly while in walking mode, it faces in the direction of the camera when coming out of ball mode. Switching to ball mode and back to walking mode can allow it to turn more quickly.
The Crab Tank flashes red when its duration is almost up, warning the user the special will run out soon. Once the special ends, the crab tank will disappear and the player can move after a short delay. If the tank itself is destroyed, the player is ejected rather than splatted, and the special ends. Notably, the user will retain any remaining special charge if the tank is destroyed and the special ends prematurely.
This special is one of the nine available specials in Salmon Run Next Wave.
