TheGoo Tuber is amain weapon inSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3. It is acharger with a few unique properties - it can hold a charge for an exceptionally long time in comparison to other chargers, allowing greater versatility, has the ability to store incomplete charges, and is able tosplat opponents with a single partially charged shot (dealing over 100 points ofdamage at roughly 70% charge).

The ink consumption of the Goo Tuber is better than average, though not exceptional. To compensate for its strengths, the Goo Tuber's charge speed and range are close to the lowest in the weapon class.

With this weapon, the player can come out of ink and fire faster while having a stored charge. Using this property, they can press repeatedly while storing a charge to "roll" across the ground, which will allow quicker movement than other chargers while keeping a stored charge. This technique is similar tosub strafing andweapon strafing.

Appearance

The main part of the Goo Tuber is the long white tube that wraps around itself multiple times to connect the pump to the nozzle. The Goo Tuber, unlike otherchargers, is not exceptionally long. At the back end of the Goo Tuber is a red pump, and at the front end is a black nozzle. The trigger is black and attached a few inches forward from the pump.

    The Goo Tuber comes withSuction Bombs andSplashdown.

    It appears in oneOcto Expansion station:

    Ever since the change made to the Goo Tuber in version2.2.0, its minimal damage for a non-charged shot is 40.0 at 8 frames, and the theoretical damage for a 99.9% charged shot is 130.0 at 74.9 frames. However, due to the game operating in complete frames, it is impossible to have a partial charge at any more than 74 frames, or 98.51% (66 effective charging frames out of a possible 67). This also means that the minimum charge time for a one-shot splat is 53 frames (45 charging frames out of a possible 67), for a 67.16% charge dealing 100.4 damage. With three mains ofMain Power Up, the Goo Tuber can reduce the amount it needs to charge to splat to just over half charge.

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    I'm proud to announce theGoo Tuber, a charger with the upgraded ability tostore your charge even longer! It offers high-pressure ink storage for extended periods, allowing you to stay submerged while you wait for the perfect shot! In exchange, it takes a bit longer to charge, but push your foes back withSuction Bombs, then charge up and you're good to go! You can stay on the move with one in the chamber, and when the enemy decides to close in, make 'em pay with aSplashdown surprise!

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    I debuted this weapon before, but I'm as proud as ever of theGoo Tuber, a charger with the upgraded ability to store your charge even longer! It offers high-pressure ink storage for extended periods, allowing you to stay submerged while you wait for the perfect shot! In exchange, it takes a bit longer to charge, but this baby canstore a partial charge, giving you the ultimate in flexibility. For instance, while you use aTorpedo to reveal enemy positions, you can be comfortably charging away in a safe spot. Then, when you're ready to ink 'em up, zip to the most advantageous spot and snipe away! If you miss, you haveTenta Missiles in your back pocket to finish the job. If you want to take your strategy to the next level by storing charges and taking advantage of each stage's unique terrain with your mobility, this set is for you!

    “Optimized for Storing Charges
    This one takes a bit longer to charge, but it has the advantage of letting you store full charges longer. Then, with one in the chamber, you can sneak your way into firing position and let the enemy have it!    		”
