The spawner drone[1] is a mechanic introduced in Splatoon 3. It functions as an entrance into battles.
The spawner drone was first shown in the Splatoon 3 announcement trailer.[2]
Description
The spawner drone bears a strong resemblance to a cappuccino machine, continuing the theme of the spawn points in Splatoon 2. The symbol on the bottom resembles the spawn point from Splatoon and Splatoon 2. Each Inkling and Octoling spawns on the drone with a different animation depending on which weapon they are using.
Mechanics
The player is able to aim for a landing spot before being launched into battle by the drone. A squidlike arrow symbol is placed on the ground to show where the player will land, and where teammates will land if they launch at the same time.[3] The player is able to aim upwards to a limited degree, as well. The position can be locked using 
. The drones also serve as spawn points when players are splatted.[4] Although players can super jump from it[5], it is not possible to Super Jump back to the drone. Instead, they are super jumped to somewhere close to their spawn. Players are given temporary armor, indicated by a white glow, after landing at the start of a match and after the player respawns.
