TheClassic Squiffer is amain weapon in theSplatoon series, manufactured by the"D" brand.

The Classic Squiffer is acharger-type weapon that charges faster than aSplat Charger, and uses lessink, but has less range.

Appearance

At the back end of the Classic Squiffer is a light-blue bottle of cleaning spray with a blue label sticker. Said sticker has theDolphin logo on it. The part of the spray bottle that attaches the bottle to the nozzle is blue and much longer than usual, extending almost to the end of the nozzle and then wrapping around and going almost all the way back. The handle and trigger have been combined with and situated at the back end of the attaching piece. The nozzle itself is white with supports that change color to match the user's ink.

InSplatoon 3, the weapon's spray bottle now has a different design. There is now duct tape wrapped around the bottom and near the cap and a rubber band around the barrel and the now transparent blue frame.

Sheldon's Introduction

TheClassic Squiffer - for a charge weapon, it's lacking in range, but in return it can charge up much faster. Use theBubbler to get in close after zeroing in on your opponents with thePoint Sensor! This set is an excellent choice for fighters who are confident taking out foes with a decisive shot.(NA)

“Acharger equipped with a miniaturizedink compression tank. The charge time is short, but it still packs a serious punch. The range leaves a little to be desired.”
— In-Game Description(NA)
“A Charger equipped with a miniaturised ink compression tank. The charge time is short, but it still packs a serious punch. The range leaves a little to be desired.”
— In-Game Description(EU/OC)
“Classic Squiffer report! We've got some hot new info on a cool new weapon! This charger-class gun comes equipped with a miniaturized ink compression tank. Apparently the charge time is short, but it still packs a serious punch! Sounds like the range leaves a little to be desired, though. Also, despite the fact that the ink tank looks like a recycled cleaning-spray bottle, we haven't been able to confirm whether or not this weapon is good for attacking household surfaces. I'm guessing not, but who knows... Maybe it can cut grease and shine your kitchen counters in addition to blastingTurf War opponents!”

    Quotes

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    TheClassic Squiffer. For acharger, it's a bit short on range, but in return it can charge up much quicker. Use thePoint Sensor to sniff out hidden opponents, allowing you and your allies to overrun and outnumber marked enemies! Even though it's a charger, the short charge time and the power when using theInk Armorspecial allow you to jump into the fray! This set is great for theInkling who's confident with a charger in close quarters.

    Ah, theClassic Squiffer. For acharger, it's a bit short on range, but in return it can charge up much more quickly. That allows you to use it in a more offensive way! I mean... being on the offense. Not that theweapon is offensive... except to your opponents. Anyway, I'd take advantage of thePoint Sensorsub to coordinate an attack with my teammates. And if my home turf was invaded, I'd deploy theBig Bubbler and hide inside, using that Classic Squiffer action to snipe enemies. Comfy in close range with a charger? This set is for you!

    “Next up is theClassic Squiffer. It's a lightweight charger that charges so quickly we hesitate to even call it a charger! (But to be technically correct, we will continue to do so.) It doesn't have great range, but rewards a dynamic play style with plenty of stop-and-pop action.”
