The Sloshing Machine Neo is nearly identical in appearance to theSloshing Machine. The only difference between the two is that the Sloshing Machine Neo has a sticker bearing theNeo logo on its side. InSplatoon 3 the place of the logo is changed to be on top of the weapon, and the bottom part of it is now black.

The interval between firing and when the player is able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 20 frames.
The interval at which the player can repeatedly swing is 34 frames.
While this is the number displayed in the game's internal parameter files, actual fire rate may vary by differing amounts depending on the slosher type.
When attacking while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.7 units per frame.
After firing, there is a 42 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.

According to our research, theSloshing Machine Neo will be available this evening, just prior to Splatfest kickoff. Just like theSloshing Machine, this weapon can be effective on enemies hiding in the terrain... and just like the Sloshing Machine, you shouldn't try to wash your clothes in it (this was hard research, indeed). Rounding out the kit is the Point Sensor to reveal the location of opponents to your team, and the Splat-Bomb Launcher to wreak a little havoc.
TheSloshing Machine Neo is a twist on the regular Sloshing Machine.
As with the regular version, the main weapon is a great tool for striking foes who are cowering behind cover, and the addition of a Point Sensor means that nobody can hide from you for long.
On top of that, the Splat Bomb Launcher(sic) special helps you rapidly secure turf for your team.

The Sloshing Machine Neo returns inSplatoon 3 as part of theDrizzle Season 2023. Its design is slightly updated, with its bottom part now being black. Its kit consists ofPoint Sensor andTrizooka, which is based on itsSplatoon kit.
The matchmaking range is 14.7. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
The ink consumption of 9.2% per shot allows the user to fire 10 times on a full ink tank.
After firing, there is a 42 frame cooldown before ink starts refilling.
When initially attacking in humanoid form, the first shot takes 12 frames to come out.
When initially attacking from swim form, the first shot takes 18 frames to come out.
The movement speed while firing is set to 0.07 units per frame.
The time between consecutive swings is 38 frames.
The interval between firing and being able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 20 frames.
The effective range is about 13.11 units while grounded and 12.96 while airborne.
This is the distance in which the crosshair will change shape when looking at an opponent and is otherwise arbitrary since sloshers do not use traditional falloff mechanics.
Central ink glob
The group consists of only 1 projectile.
The group starts spawning as soon as the lifting animation ends.
The projectile spawns with an initial speed of 1.4737 units per frame while grounded, and 1.4563 units per frame while airborne. It flies straight at this speed for 5 frames.
After this, the velocity is set to 10.0 units per frame if it is not already below this number, and decreases by 10% every frame, including the first frame in which it stops flying straight. Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed more and fall faster.
The projectile deals 76 damage.
Damage falloff starts when a projectile falls 1.5 units below its initial spawning point. It will lose damage the further it falls until it has fallen to 8.5 units below its spawning point, at which point it will deal 52 damage.
The projectile spawns with an initial collision radius of 0.0285 units for players and 0.01 units for the stage. Over the course of 5 frames, the collision radius for players changes to 0.285 units, and over the course of 4 frames, the collision radius for the stage changes to 0.1 units.
Ink spiral
The group contains 4 projectiles that spawn consecutively 2 frames apart from each other.
The group starts spawning 1 frames after the lifting animation ends.
The first projectile spawns with an initial speed of 1.4737 units per frame while grounded, and 1.4563 units per frame while airborne. It flies straight at this speed for 5 frames.
After this, the velocity is set to 10.0 units per frame if it is not already below this number, and decreases by 10% every frame, including the first frame in which it stops flying straight. Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed more and fall faster.
Each subsequent projectile spawns with an initial speed that is 0 units per frame slower than the last.
The projectiles deal 38 damage.
The damage is not reduced by the projectile falling.
The first projectile spawns with an initial collision radius of 0.059 units for players and 0.0 units for the stage. Over the course of 5 frames, the collision radius for players changes to 0.59 units, and over the course of 4 frames, the collision radius for the stage changes to 0.0 units.
For subsequent projectiles, the initial collision radius is 0.047 units larger than the previous projectile for players, and 0 units smaller for the stage. After the collision size changes, the radius is 0.47 units larger than the previous projectile for players, and 0 units smaller for the stage.
TheSloshing Machine Neo isn't so much an upgrade from the basicSloshing Machine as a...side-grade. It has the same basic ability to slosh ink all over the place. But it has a new look and a new loadout to play with—including thePoint Sensor sub! Throw one down to mark enemy positions, then put 'em in the splat cycle with your main. If you've got stubborn enemy ink stains that just won't come out, that's when it's time to fire up theTrizooka special. I'll put it this way... it's not for delicates! This set is great for players who want to put the other team in a permanent press and see a sparkling clean sweep at the end.
