Weapons are tools used in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 to spread ink and splat enemies. They can be purchased from Ammo Knights with cash earned from online multiplayer matches. Most weapons may only be unlocked to purchase after reaching a certain level, and some can only be obtained after completing missions in the single player game mode. Weapons are always in a predefined set of a main weapon, a sub weapon, and a special weapon.

In Splatoon 2, new weapons were added, and returning weapons have all-new designs. Since no special weapons returned from the first game, all the special weapons were changed as well. While some weapons retained the same sub weapon and similar special, others changed, such as the S2 Weapon Main Splat Roller.png Splat Roller, which has S2 Weapon Sub Curling Bomb.png Curling Bombs instead of S2 Weapon Sub Suction Bomb.png Suction Bombs.

Main

Main weapons are the primary tools players use to spread ink and splat opponents. Main weapons generally have two variants: the original and an alternate with a different appearance, a different sub weapon, and a different special weapon. With the addition of Sheldon's Picks and the Kensa Collection, some weapons gained a third version with yet another set of sub and special weapons. There are also Rare weapons which have been heavily modified which are exclusive to Salmon Run.


Shooters

A shooter in action.

Shooters are guns that fire small blobs of ink in quick succession. Most shooters continuously fire when the player holds the trigger, but some have semi-automatic operation.

Blasters are shooters that can fire large globs of ink with a delayed explosion. The explosion allows users to attack opponents located behind obstacles or around corners.

Some shooters offer semi-automatic functionality, requiring the player to tap the trigger repeatedly instead of holding it for some or all aspects of operation.

Rollers

Spreading ink with the Splat Roller.

Rollers can be pushed along the ground, leaving a trail of ink. Users can attack by flinging ink and damage is also dealt if enemies come into contact with the weapon while it is being pushed, sometimes crushing the opponent in one hit. As of Splatoon 2, rollers can do a vertical swing.

Brushes are an unofficial subclass of rollers. Brushes can be pushed especially fast but leave a narrow trail of ink. They do not deal nearly as much contact damage, making crushing enemies virtually impossible. However, instead of flinging large waves of ink, brushes quickly swipe from side to side, flicking many smaller globs. This rapid-fire flick is their primary means of spreading ink and attacking enemies, making them ideal for fast, close-combat action.

Chargers

Firing a charger shot.

Chargers can instantly splat opponents at long range once charged up. Uncharged shots do not have enough range or damage to be used effectively for attacking, but they can be used for covering turf. Precision aim is required and a laser shows everyone (including enemies) where the shot will land. Some chargers allow the player to store their charge when swimming around in ink.

Sloshers

Flinging ink from the Slosher.

Sloshers are single-shot, bucket-like weapons that hurl ink in an arc. The ink can be hurled over obstacles to hit opponents.

Splatlings

A Heavy Splatling being fired.

Splatlings are rotary cannon or minigun type weapons that generally have a high rate of fire and considerable range. In-game, they operate similar to chargers but release a stream of small ink bullets instead of a single powerful one. Like chargers, a full charge is necessary to achieve the maximum potential range and firing duration.

Rare weapons are modified weapons from existing classes. During wildcard rotations of Salmon Run, one of Mr. Grizz's personal weapons is accidentally added to the mix.[1] Rare weapons are tweaked versions of normal weapons with much more powerful stats. These weapons are only available at certain times and can only be used within Salmon Run and cannot be used or obtained anywhere else.

Sub

The Sprinkler, Splash Wall, and Splat Bomb.

Sub weapons are secondary to the main weapon. Each sub weapon has a specialized use and high ink consumption, so they cannot be used for general-purpose splatting and inking like the main weapon. There are bombs, which can be used to influence enemy movement or outright splat them, while others can give special effects to opponents, like location tracking, movement penalties, and ink usage penalties. In addition to weapons that focus on enemy effects, there are sub weapons that focus on benefiting the player's team by painting the ground or adding a Super Jump point to any location on the stage.

Special

The Killer Wail, Inkzooka, and Inkstrike.

Special weapons are powerful weapons that can only be used after filling up the special gauge by covering enough ground with ink. Generally, special weapons can make players invincible, allow players to track the location of opponents, damage opponents that step within a specified area of the battlefield or grant the player a strong long-range attack. There are special weapons with highly specific effects, like allowing players to use bombs without ink restrictions, or creating explosive floating bubbles.
