The S-BLAST '92 is a main weapon in Splatoon 3.

Appearance

The S-BLAST '92 bears resemblances to a rocket launcher such as the American M1 Bazooka or the German Panzerfaust. The body consists of a wide barrel with light and dark grey accents and a red tip at the end, with a scope mounted at the front. The body is connected to a handle in the middle and a shoulder mount on the back. A decal with the words "Super Scope" is printed on one side, and similar to the N-ZAP '85, it appears to be in English rather than the traditional Inkling language.

The S-BLAST '92 was revealed on 16 May 2023 in the Sizzle Season 2023 trailer. While in midair, the S-Blast '92 shoots only half as far as it normally would on ground, with a much larger burst. This range is the same as the Luna Blaster, while the grounded shot is the same as the Range Blaster, with a small burst. On 17 May 2023, Nintendo uploaded a dedicated Twitter post showcasing gameplay from the S-BLAST ‘92, confirming the weapon's kit to be Sprinkler and Reefslider.

Data

• The S-BLAST '92 is a middleweight weapon.
• The matchmaking range is 16.5. 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 is 10% per shot, allowing the user to fire 10 shots on a full ink tank.
  • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
• When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 60 frames (1 shot per second).
• When firing from humanoid form, the first shot takes 14 frames to come out. When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 24 frames to come out.
• The interval between firing the weapon and being able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 23 frames.
• When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.04 units per frame.
• After firing, there is a 60 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.

Grounded Shot

• The damage on direct hit is 125.
• Targets within 1.0 units of the explosion center always take 70 damage. Targets outside of this radius but inside the full blast radius of 1.8 units will take between 70 and 50 damage, depending on how close to the center they are.
• The bullet hitbox for collisions with players has a radius of 0.2 units.
• The bullet hitbox for collisions with the environment has a radius of 0.2 units.
• Shots cannot ever deviate from the inner reticle.
• Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 1.7 units per frame for 7 frames. Shots travel straight for 11.9 distance units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 1.65 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and it loses 36% of its speed every frame (including the first frame after it stops traveling straight). Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
• The bullet explodes 11 frames after being fired, covering a total distance of about 14.34 units.
  • This number may vary at different firing angles.

Jump Shot

• The damage on direct hit is 125.
• Targets within 1.0 units of the explosion center always take 70 damage. Targets outside of this radius but inside the full blast radius of 4.0 units will take between 70 and 50 damage, depending on how close to the center they are.
• The bullet hitbox for collisions with players has a radius of 0.2 units.
• The bullet hitbox for collisions with the environment has a radius of 0.2 units.
• The angle its shots can deviate is 8.0 degrees.
• The shot has a 50% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
• Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 0.92 units per frame for 7 frames. Shots travel straight for 6.44 distance units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 0.9 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and it loses 36% of its speed every frame (including the first frame after it stops traveling straight). Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
• The bullet explodes 11 frames after being fired, covering a total distance of about 7.77 units.
  • This number may vary at different firing angles.

Quotes

“

SRL Ballistics here. Wooo! It's good to be back. And we are SO BACK with exclusive imagery of the new S-BLAST '92. What a weapon. This baby has two firing modes - one designed for precision and range, and the other designed for EXCUSE ME and KA-SPLOOSH! Sorry - we're just so excited. Check out this video of the S-BLAST '92 in action. No batteries required! And note that jumping while firing is how you activate the shorter-range firing mode with bigger blasts. Keep your feet on the ground to hit faraway targets with precision.
