Splat Charger

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Splat Charger is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Splat Charger, like other charger-type weapons, can be charged up before firing. The more it is charged, the farther the ink will go and the more damage it will deal. Only a fully charged shot will splat an enemy in one hit. It also creates a thick line of ink, rather than many small blobs like shooter-class weapons do. This weapon is the most basic form of charger in the Splatoon series, with all-around average performance. The weapon consumes 18% of the ink-tank capacity with each fully charged shot, allowing the player to fire 5 shots before needing to refill the tank.

Trivia

The Splat Charger in Splatoon 2 looks slightly similar to the real-life rifle M24 Sniper Weapon System, an iconic weapon and the standard for many armies and special forces around the world. However, the M24 has a scope mounted while the Splat Charger does not.
