Soda Slosher
TheSoda Slosher is amain weapon inSplatoon andSplatoon 2. It is aSlosher with a different kit and color scheme.
It is a bucket of ink that can be swung to throw out globs of ink that leave trails behind them. The trajectory of the ink can be adjusted by aiming higher or lower than horizontally. Its globs do enough damage to splat opponents in two shots.
The Soda Slosher deals constant damage no matter how far away the ink travels, as opposed to most other classes dealing less damage as ink travels farther due tofall-off damage. However, there is still fall-off damage when targeting opponents below the player, dealing less than maximum damage.
Appearance
The Soda Slosher shares its overall design with theSlosher. However, the Soda Slosher has a yellow bucket, supports colored in various shades of blue, and purple springs. Unlike the Slosher, the design of the Soda Slosher does not vary between games.
