The Painbrush is an upcoming main weapon in Splatoon 3.
Appearance
The Painbrush resembles a fan brush. It has a silver handle that looks similar to the back of the Nautilus 47.
Splatoon 3
The Painbrush was revealed on 16 May 2023 in the Sizzle Season 2023 trailer.[1]
It rolls with a speed comparable to the Octobrush and also has more range than the Octobrush. Though, unlike other brushes, which typically fling ink in a wide area, the Painbrush spreads ink in a much more narrow field, straight ahead of the user, similar to the Splatanas horizontal slash. It takes at least 3 ranged hits to splat an opponent.
