The Range Blaster, as its name implies, is a variation of a regularBlaster with shots that travel farther before exploding. As a tradeoff, this blaster has a lower fire rate and higher ink consumption.
InSplatoon andSplatoon 2, the Range Blaster is similar in appearance to theBlaster. However, the front and back parts of the Range Blaster have been pushed further apart by some metal supports.
InSplatoon 3, the frontal part is much larger, less cylinder-like, and partially covers the aforementioned metal supports. The main body is thicker and has four tubes connected to it.

The ink consumption of 11% and ink tank capacity of 100% allows players to fire 9 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 14 frames to come out.
When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 24 frames to come out.
The interval between firing and when the player is able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 30 frames.
When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 60 frames (1 shots per second).

The bullet hitbox has a radius of 2 units.
Shots cannot ever deviate from the inner reticle while on the ground.
The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 8 degrees.
The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 50%.
Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 10.8 units per frame for 11 frames. Shots travel straight for 118.8 distance units.
After that, the shot's velocity is set to 10.073 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
Ink droplets occur every 19 units.
The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 9 droplets per shot.
There are a total of 1 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
Ink droplets have a radius of 13 units.
Droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
The shot explodes 15 frames after being fired.
The far damage radius of the explosion is 35 units.
When the shot explodes on the ground or wall, the far damage radius is 17.5 units.

Damage from the explosion scales from 50 at the far damage radius to 70 at the near damage radius.
When the shot explodes on the ground or wall, the damage scales from 25 at the far damage radius to 35 at the near damage radius.
When the shot explodes in the air, it creates a splash of paint with a radius of 30 units.
TheRange Blaster delays the oxidization of ink, which extends the range before it explodes!Its special construction reduces the fire rate slightly, but its long range andSuction Bombs let you put the squeeze on your opponents!TheInk Storm helps cover the surrounding area, too, so I'd recommend this for players that are on the hunt for ink!
The Range Blaster returns inSplatoon 3 with a new design. Its front shell vaguely resembles the headlight or fuel tank of a motorcycle, keeping with the vehicular, hot rod motif of the standardBlaster. It was originally shown withKiller Wail 5.1 as its special, but it was changed toSuction Bombs andWave Breaker.

After firing, there is a 70 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
The damage on direct hit is 125.
Targets within 0.94 units of the explosion center always take 70 damage. Targets outside of this radius but inside the full blast radius of 3.3 units will take between 70 and 50 damage, depending on how close to the center they are.
The bullet hitbox for collisions with players has a radius of 0.2 units.
The bullet hitbox for collisions with the environment has a radius of 0.2 units.
Shots cannot ever deviate from the inner reticle while on the ground.
The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 8.0 degrees.
The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 50%.
Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 1.08 units per frame for 11 frames. Shots travel straight for 11.88 distance units.
After that, the shot's velocity is set to 1.0073 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and it loses 36% of its speed every frame (including the first frame after it stops traveling straight). Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
The bullet explodes 15 frames after being fired, covering a total distance of about 13.57 units.
TheRange Blaster delays the oxidization ofink, which extends the range before it explodes. Let that sink in. It's SO COOL how it works! Of course, you lose a little fire rate, but that's OK when you haveSuction Bombs to flush out your opponents. And with theWave Breaker at your disposal to reveal their positions, it's almost like your enemies will have nowhere to hide! I recommend this loadout to anyone who fancies themselves a master of the hunt.

In the meantime, let's look at theRange Blaster. This is a powerfulweapon that can fully coat an opponent in ink from any range... but it fires... so... so... painfully... slowly. Huh. You'd think the flames would make it fast! Maybe they should try painting it red...
