TheSplattershot is amain weapon in theSplatoon series, created by the weapon brandSplat. It is an iconicweapon, commonly seen in promotional material and as part of multipleamiibo.

Appearance

The Splattershot resembles a toy water gun.

InSplatoon, the grip and stock are both yellow-green, while the muzzle and forestock being a dark green. The muzzle is surrounded by a red-orange ring, and is shaped like a cone. On the top of the weapon is an ink tank in the shape of a capsule that changes color depending on the player's ink. The tank is connected to the stock by a yellow-green ring that goes down the middle of the tank, as well as by a red-orange tube at the back of the weapon.

InSplatoon 2, the Splattershot received a new design that vastly differs from itsSplatoon counterpart. The grip and stock are both purple, while the forestock and muzzle are a dark green. The muzzle is shaped like a cone, as well. On top of the weapon is an ink tank in the shape of a capsule that changes color depending on the player's ink. On the upper part of the end of the ink tank is a pink cap reminiscent of the caps used to fill a water gun. The ink tank is connected to the stock by a pink, diagonal facing ring that goes down the middle and back of the tank. On the bottom of the grip is what appears to be a magazine, colored dark green.

InSplatoon 3, the Splattershot again has an updated design. The grip and stock are both purple, while the muzzle and forestock are both yellow. The muzzle is shaped like a cone, as well. On top of the weapon is an ink tank in the shape of a capsule that changes color depending on the player's ink. The tank is connected to the stock by a wavy yellow piece holder that juts out at the end of the tank. Also at the end of the tank is a blue, cone-shaped cap reminiscent of the caps used to fill a water gun.

    • The Splattershot starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
      • This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
    • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
    • Accuracy starts recovering 6 frames after the player stops shooting. The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 1.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum, meaning that it takes 22 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (32 after shooting while jumping.)
    • Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 22 units per frame for 4 frames. Shots travel straight for 88 distance units.
      • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 14.495 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
    • Ink droplets occur every 92 units.

    The Splattershot returns inSplatoon 3 with a new design. Its kit consists ofSuction Bombs and theTrizooka, breaking the tradition of giving the Splattershot theBurst Bomb.

    It appears in four missions inReturn of the Mammalians:

    Data

    • The Splattershot is amiddleweight weapon.
    • The matchmaking range is 12.9. 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 is 0.92% per shot, allowing the user to fire for about 10.8 seconds on a full ink tank.
    • When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 6 frames (10 shots per second).
    • When firing from humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out. When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 12 frames to come out.
    • The interval between firing the weapon and being able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 4 frames.
    • When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.072 units per frame.
    • After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
    • Each shot has a base damage of 36 and minimum damage of 18.
    • If a shot is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it will lose about 0.56 damage every frame until it reaches 18 damage at frame 40.
    • The bullet hitbox for collisions with players has a radius of 0.285 units.
    • The bullet hitbox for collisions with the environment has a radius of 0.2 units.
    • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 4.86 degrees.
    • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 11.66 degrees.
    • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
    • The weapon starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
      • This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
    • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
    • Accuracy starts recovering 6 frames after the player stops shooting. The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 1.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum, meaning that it takes 22 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (32 after shooting while jumping.)
    • Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 2.266 units per frame for 4 frames. Shots travel straight for 9.064 distance units.
      • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 1.493 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 effective range is about 11.56 units.
      • This number may vary at different firing angles.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    The Splattershot appears asInkling's neutral special and in a few normals inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of otherweapons that they use in their attacks.

    For their neutral special, they shoot projectiles with the Splattershot at the opponent to deal damage. This also coats opponents inink but does not ink the ground. The projectiles will decrease in range as the Inkling runs low on ink, and the Splattershot will not fire if the Inkling is out of ink. Similarly, for their rapid jab, the Inkling shoots the Splattershot, creating spurts at the muzzle which damages and inks opponents. This move also stops functioning when out of ink. For their forward throw, the Inkling fires a single shot directly into the opponent, covering them slightly and using a small amount of ink. In their other normals, they physically swing and hit opponents with the Splattershot itself. These moves do not cost ink.

    Trivia

    Etymology

    "Splattershot" is a simple merging of "splatter" and "shot", referring to the weapon's function of shooting ink. It may also be a play on "scattershot", meaning to act to figuratively (or literally) cover a broad area in a haphazard and random manner, befittingSplatoon's fast-paced and frenetic gameplay structure.
