Weapons are tools used in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 to spread ink and splatter enemy Inklings. They can be purchased from Ammo Knights with Cash earned from online multiplayer matches. Weapons are always in a predefined set of a Main Weapon, a Sub Weapon, and a Special Weapon. Sub Weapons, or secondary weapons, consume considerably more ink than Main Weapons and usually serve specialized purposes limited to specific combat situations. Special Weapons are powerful weapons that can only be used after filling up the Special Gauge by covering enough ground with ink.

Splatoon

All weapons have two versions: the original, and an alternate with a different Sub and Special Weapon setup and a slightly different appearance. With the addition of Sheldon's Picks, some weapons gained a third version with yet another set of Sub and Special Weapons.

Splatoon 2

In Splatoon 2 new weapons have been added, and returning weapons have all new designs. Because no Special Weapons return from the first game, all the Special weapons are changed as well. While some weapons retain the same Sub Weapon others have the Sub Weapon changed, such as the Splat Roller, which has Curling Bombs instead of Suction Bombs. Blasters and Brushes have also been recognized as their own weapon classes.

Main

Shooter

Shooter/List of Shooters in Splatoon 2

Roller

In Splatoon 2, the Player now flicks the Roller vertically in the air while jumping, ink travels in a vertical line rather than a horizontal splash, and it travels much farther than a grounded flick. Roller/List of Rollers in Splatoon 2

Charger

In Splatoon 2 the player can now charge up a shot, go into squid form, and for a brief period of time they can turn back into a kid and the charger shoots automatically. The player now lights up while charging a shot, and if the player is charging a shot, and goes into squid form, the player also glows. Charger/List of Chargers in Splatoon 2

Dualies

Dualies are a new weapon class introduced in Splatoon 2 that utilize 2 shooters instead of one allowing a wider range. Dualies also gain the ability to roll by jumping twice, from boosters built into the guns, and the player can roll twice in a row as well. The screen displays two targets, which briefly merge into one after a roll. Dualies/List of Dualies in Splatoon 2

Brellas

Brellas are a new class of weapon that was added in an update for Splatoon 2. They are somewhat slow-firing weapons that feature an umbrella that opens up when ZR is held, which protects against frontal attacks. Holding it down for longer than 2 seconds launches the umbrella forward, inking the ground as it moves while retaining its ability to deflect shots. However, doing so disables usage of the umbrella shield for a short time afterwards. Brellas/List of Brellas in Splatoon 2

  • File:S2 Weapon Bubble Blower .png [[]] – A bubble wand. The bubbles it creates will block large areas to opponents, and will explode in a deadly blast of ink if fired at.

Classes

Sub Classes are a way to distinguish different weapons of one weapon type. For example the Aerospray RG and the Dual Squelcher are both considered Shooter weapons but differ in many ways. A more explicit example would be the Splat Roller compared to the Inkbrush. Those are both considered Rollers, although the Inkbrush is far from being a Roller. These Sub Classes are not officially recognized in-game, but since they have noticeably different playstyles, they are worth unofficially recognizing. Thus, this section shows all types of Sub Classes existing in the game so far.
