Weapons are tools used in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 to spread ink and splatter enemy Inklings. They can be purchased from Ammo Knights with Cash earned from online multiplayer matches. Weapons are always in a predefined set of a Main Weapon, a Sub Weapon, and a Special Weapon. Sub Weapons, or secondary weapons, consume considerably more ink than Main Weapons and usually serve specialized purposes limited to specific combat situations. Special Weapons are powerful weapons that can only be used after filling up the Special Gauge by covering enough ground with ink.
Main

All weapons have two versions: the original, and an alternate with a different Sub and Special Weapon setup and a slightly different appearance. With the addition of Sheldon's Picks, some weapons gained a third version with yet another set of Sub and Special Weapons.

Classes
Sub Classes are a way to distinguish different weapons of one weapon type. For example the Aerospray RG and the Dual Squelcher are both considered Shooter weapons but differ in many ways. A more explicit example would be the Splat Roller compared to the Inkbrush. Those are both considered Rollers, although the Inkbrush is far from being a Roller. These Sub Classes are not officially recognized in-game, but since they have noticeably different playstyles, they are worth unofficially recognizing. Thus, this section shows all types of Sub Classes existing in the game so far.

List of Weapon Sets
In Splatoon, each weapon comes as a predefined set. For example, the standard Splat Roller comes with the Suction Bomb and the Killer Wail as its sub and special weapons, respectively. It is impossible to have a Splat Roller with Seekers and the Inkstrike, as there is no predefined set for the Splat Roller that includes them.
However, there are alternates of every set. An example of this is the Krak-On Splat Roller, which uses the Squid Beakon and Kraken rather than the Suction Bomb and Killer Wail that the classic Splat Roller sports.
