Slosher (weapon class)
From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
- 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.
