Slosher
- For the main weapon type, see Slosher (weapon class).
- For other items commonly referred to as buckets, see bucket.
The Slosher is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
The Slosher is a bucket of ink that can be swung to splatter turf and enemies in a straight line. The trajectory of the ink can be adjusted to strike enemies behind walls or on above high surfaces. It's strong enough to splat opponents in only two shots.
The Slosher deals constant damage no matter how far away the ink travels, as opposed to rollers and shooters dealing less damage as ink travel farther due to fall-off damage. However, there is still fall-off damage when targeting opponents below the player, dealing less than maximum damage.
