Jet Squelcher

The Jet Squelcher is a main weapon in the Splatoon series, created by Custom.

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.

• The matchmaking range is 225. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
• The ink consumption of 1.6% and ink tank capacity of 100% allows players to fire 62 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
  • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
• When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
• When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 11 frames to come out.
• The interval between firing and when the player is able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 4 frames.
• When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 8 frames (7.5 shots per second).
• When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.6 units per frame.
• After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.

• The bullet hitbox has a radius of 2 units.
• The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 3 degrees.
• The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 8 degrees.
• The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
• The Jet Squelcher starts off having a 2% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
  • This chance increases by 1.5% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 16 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
• When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
• Accuracy starts recovering 8 frames after the player stops shooting. The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 1% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum, meaning that it takes 31 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (46 after shooting while jumping.)
• Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 33.6 units per frame for 5 frames. Shots travel straight for 168 distance units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 22.32 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
• Ink droplets occur every 100 units.
• The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 3 droplets per shot.
• There are a total of 8 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
• Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 19.8 units, and a width of 10 units.
  • These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
• Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 17.6 units.
• All other ink droplets have a radius of 12 units.
• Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.

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!

• The effective range is about 20.1 units.
  • This number may vary at different firing angles.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Jet Squelcher has boosted pump pressure to give it a range that rivals charger weapons! Like other weapons with extreme range, it doesn't offer much in the way of power. But when combined with the Angle Shooter sub, your enemies won't know what hit 'em. Because you'll be SO far away! Add the Ink Vac to the mix to suck up incoming offensives, and you have a loadout that's perfect for cool, calculating players who play it safe.
