Jet Squelcher

The Jet Squelcher is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. It has a slow fire rate and low damage compared to other shooters, but has more range than any other shooter.

Appearance

The Jet Squelcher has two main parts, both blue. The handhold housing the trigger is in between them. The top part is home to multiple warning labels and a black knob. Sticking out of the top part is a long black barrel with a dull white nozzle at the end. A black tube connects the two parts.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Jet Squelcher has the top range of any rapid-fire weapon, approaching that of the charger weapons. It sacrifices attack power, though, so focus on hiding behind your Splash Wall and charging up the Inkstrike! It's best for fighters who know how to strike at the most opportune moment! (NA)

Sheldon's Introduction The Jet Squelcher has the top range of any Shooter-type weapon, approaching that of Charger-types. It sacrifices attack power, though, so focus on hiding behind your Splash Wall and charging up the Inkstrike! It's best suited to fighters who know how to hold back before striking at the most opportune moment! (EU/OC)

“

Designed to maximize range in order to effectively take on charger-type weapons. Boasts the greatest range of any automatic ink shooter.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Jet Squelcher has boosted pump pressure to give it a range that rivals charger weapons! Use that range to safely splat opponents caught in your Toxic Mist. The main weapon's attack power is on the weaker side, but you've got Tenta Missiles, and it's great for cleaning up the leftovers! Keep moving forward as you splat your opponents! Recommended for players who know when to push and when to hold their ground!
