For the main weapon with the same name, see Slosher.

Sloshers are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.

Sloshers are bucket-like weapons that either hurl a mass of ink that falls on anything below its path, or arc medium- to long-range projectiles straight ahead.

The first weapon in this class, the Slosher, was released in version 2.0.0 of Splatoon on 6 August 2015.

In Ammo Knights (Clicking Right Stick):

  • Both genders looks towards the back rim of the weapon, raise the weapon up and tap it twice on the bottom, then hold it in their right hand and look it over.

  • Octoling girl: Has her weapon on the ground and walks around it to kneel down on it at an angle.
  • Octoling boy: Similar to the Octoling girl's, but is facing straight forward.

Defeat:

  • Inklings: Both genders hold their weapon in their right arm before facepalming and holding their head, occasionally shaking it.

Quotes

“ Squid Research Lab with a report on sloshers that's overflowing with info! Far from being glorified buckets, sloshers are tactically advanced weapons that allow precise targeti- Ah... excuse me. I'm being told by the Bucket Logistics department that sloshers ARE glorified buckets. ”
