Slosher (weapon class)
Sloshers are one of the five main weapon classifications in Splatoon, and one of seven in Splatoon 2. These bucket-like weapons hurl ink straight ahead at a long range, and can be used to splat opponents high up or on the other side of an obstacle.
The first weapon in this class, the Slosher, was released in the August Update on August 6th.
