Thedistance unit (DU) is a unit of measurement in theSplatoon series. It is used to measure distance internally in the game.

InSplatoon andSplatoon 2, there are 50 distance units between each distance line in thetest range. InSplatoon 3, there are 5 distance units between each distance line in the test range. 10 distance units inSplatoon 2 is equivalent to 1 distance unit inSplatoon 3.

The range of each main weapon, measured in DU, can be found atmain weapon data.

History

The distance unit has remained consistent betweenSplatoon andSplatoon 2.

InSplatoon 3, the internal values are a tenth of a distance unit, so the interval between two lines in the test range is displayed as 5.0 internally inSplatoon 3, instead of 50. The JapaneseSplatoon 3 wiki unofficially calls this new unit "meter", and regards the test range intervals as 5 meters apart.^[1]

Example

TheBamboozler has a default range of 195.64 DU when fully charged.^[2] Since each line in the Shooting Range is 50 units apart, a Bamboozler can damageSquid Bumpers in the Shooting Range up from about 4 lines away (195.64/50≈4).
