Slosher (weapon class)

Sloshers (スロッシャー Surosshā) 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.

There are no Sloshers with the Sprinkler, Suction Bomb, Ink Mine, or Squid Beakon as their sub weapon.
There are no Sloshers with the Killer Wail as their special weapon.
