Slosher (weapon class)

(Redirected from Sloshers)
A promotional image for Splatoon 3 featuring an Inkling wielding the Slosher, a weapon included in the slosher class.
For the main weapon with the same name, see Slosher.

Sloshers are one of the main weapon classifications in the Splatoon series. These bucket-like weapons either hurl a mass of ink that falls on anything below its path, or arc projectiles straight ahead at a long range, and can be used to splat opponents high up or on the other side of an obstacle or ledge.

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

  • Inkling Girl: Brings fist down then pumps it into the air, throws their weapon into the air while doing a jumping 360, before catching their weapon and spinning it on their right finger.
  • Inkling Boy: Same as Inking Girl.

Defeat:

  • Both genders throw a fit and throw their weapon up into the air in frustration, leading them to fall to the ground and their weapon to land on their head, making them hold their head in pain and then have a disappointed expression.

In Ammo Knights (Clicking Right Stick):

  • Inklings: Same as Splatoon 2 except both genders raise their weapon the same height.

  • 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: Similar to their Roller animation, but hold their weapon in their arm.
  • Octoling Girl: Lets her weapon fall to the ground before falling forward while looking towards the ground.
  • Octoling Boy: Same as Octoling Girl except he falls backward.

In Ammo Knights (Clicking ):

  • Inkling Girl: Looks towards the back rim of the weapon, raises the weapon up and taps it twice on the bottom, then holds it in her right hand and looks it over.
  • Inkling Boy: Same as Inkling Girl except he raises the weapon higher.
  • Octolings: Set weapon on the floor and look at it from side to side, put their finger up to their chin as if thinking, before standing back up and returning to idle.

Victory:

  • Flip Out: Sets the weapon spinning, then grabs it, does a spinning backflip, and poses in a three-point landing with the weapon held behind them.
  • Reppin' Inkopolis: The player pumps their left fist twice. They throw their Slosher in the air, catch it, toss it again, balance it on their right index finger, and begin spinning it around.
