The Rapid Blaster Pro is aRapid Blaster with an elongated handle and barrel, and increased range to match. Its range is the greatest of all blasters. As a trade-off, it has a slightly slower fire rate and higher ink consumption compared to the Rapid Blaster. Damage output and blast size are identical for both weapons.
The Rapid Blaster Pro is similar in appearance to theRapid Blaster. However, the nozzle is longer, and there is a gray bar connecting the red panels at the bottom to the handle.

After firing, there is a 50 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
Each shot has a base damage of 85.
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 40 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 14 units per frame for 11 frames. Shots travel straight for 154 distance units.
After that, the shot's velocity is set to 13.426 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
Ink droplets occur every 16.2 units.
The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 12 droplets per shot.
There are a total of 1 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.

TheRapid Blaster Pro owes its incredible range to a chamber system that delays ink oxidization to the last possible moment!If you match this range with theToxic Mist, your opponents will curse your very existence!TheInk Storm provides cover for your teammates, so I'd recommend this set for players who enjoy the technical aspects of battle!

TheRapid Blaster Pro owes its incredible range to a chamber system that delays ink oxidization to the last possible moment! With that technology in hand, try catching your enemies in a littleToxic Mist before giving them a few inksplosions as a parting gift. And if anyone gets too close? Fire up theInk Vac, and turn their own inkpower against them! This is a set that will make the tactically inclined player veeery happy.

Potent, Long-Range Blasts This blaster owes its incredible range to a chamber system that delays ink oxidization. As long as you stay out of reach of opponents, you'll have the upper hand. That said, you'll need to be good at maneuvering to prevent them from closing the distance.
The difference between the three versions of the Rapid Blaster Pro: TheRapid Blaster Pro Deco is the only one whose lights do not illuminate when fired. (link to file)
Prior toversion 3.0.0 ofSplatoon 3, the colored parts on the 2D icons for the Rapid Blaster Pro andRapid Blaster were colored yellow. This was corrected to the white color upon release of the update.
The lights on the sides of the weapon illuminate when fired, but the second variant of the weapon, theRapid Blaster Pro Deco, does not.
