The H-3 Nozzlenose is main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. It is the Heavy version of the L-3 Nozzlenose. Unlike most other Shooters, pressing ZR will automatically fire 3 bullets at a time. In comparison to the L-3 Nozzlenose, the bullets have increased attack power, capable of splatting enemies in 1 burst if all 3 bullets land on the target. However, it has a lower fire rate than the L-3 Nozzlenose.

 Sheldon's Introduction

The H-3 Nozzlenose is a semiautomatic with more firepower than its S Weapon Main L-3 Nozzlenose.png L-3 twin. The H stands for "heavy"! It can't fire as rapidly, but you can pinpoint foes with the S Weapon Special Echolocator.png Echolocator to make every shot count! S Weapon Sub Suction Bomb.png Suction Bombs can also make an effective defense, so this set is a good choice for well-rounded fighters!(NA)[a]

“ A S Weapon Main L-3 Nozzlenose.png Nozzlenose that packs even more of a punch. A long interval between shots is made up for by high attack power, which makes splatting your opponent in one go a real possibility. ”
— In-Game Description(EU/OC)[b]
“ Listen up squids! This here is the H-3 Nozzlenose. You want a weapon that packs a wallop and also kind of looks like a garden hose rolled up? This here’s your pick. A long interval between shots is made up for by high attack power. With the H-3 Nozzlenose, a one-hit kill is a real possibility. ”

 Sheldon's Introduction

The H-3 Nozzlenose here offers a stronger triple-burst shooter experience than the S2 Weapon Main L-3 Nozzlenose.png L-3 Nozzlenose. Seek out your opponent's location with the S2 Weapon Sub Point Sensor.png Point Sensor, and unleash a triple blast to splat 'em before they know what hit 'em! You can use the S2 Weapon Special Tenta Missiles.png Tenta Missiles. to check and mark an opponent's location. I recommend this set for the Inkling who wants to bring out the best in their main weapon.
