Splatterscope

The Splatterscope is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Splatterscope is Splat Charger with a scope attached. Compared to the scopeless version it has enhanced range and a zoomed view for greater aiming precision, but players have their field of vision limited by the scope. The scoped version also loses the ability to store a charge in Splatoon 2. Besides range, all other stats are the same as the Splat Charger.

Gameplay

The Splatterscope is a long range charger, designed for pin-point accuracy. Due to the scope, it is considerably less beginner friendly than other chargers. With an experienced user though, it becomes an extremely deadly and effective weapon. It’s best stage is arguably Moray Towers, where you can see the entire stage. If the player is skilled, they can wipe the entire enemy team out in less than a minute. In short, it is not the easiest weapon to use, but if you do, you can ensure victory for you and your team.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Splatterscope is a Splat Charger with an added scope for more effective long-distance aiming. It's great for hitting far-off targets, but your view is narrow while charging, so careful where you use it! Also, that fancy scope there takes up space, so something had to go. In this case, we had to nix the ability to store your charge. But hey, if you like to stay safe and shoot from afar, this could be the charger for you! And the Splat Bombs and Sting Ray make this special scoped model worth a try, eh?
