TheTorpedo is asub weapon inSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3. It is a flying projectile that automatically targets opponents and explodes on impact, but can be shot down.

Appearance

The Torpedo is a clear plastic ink canister with a resealable nozzle.

The expanded Torpedo is designed after single-use soy sauce packets shaped like sea breams, popularized byKikkoman. The weapon's front is shaped like the resealable nozzle of these packets, and its body has fish scales, fins, and eyes. The bottom of the pre-expansion projectile has a black circle which transforms into a propeller when the weapon activates.

Usage

It is abomb-type weapon which, when thrown near an enemy, changes shape and targets the foe, exploding on impact and spraying ink around the explosion. Torpedoes thrown by opponents can be shot down with attacks by dealing 20 points ofdamage to them.

After being thrown, ink is spread below the player's feet. While still in the air, if an enemy is near the Torpedo it will stop in midair and change forms. After fully expanding it will slowly launch forward, ultimately exploding when touching the enemy or a wall or floor. The explosion will also spread droplets which do additional damage. A dashed circle will appear around the enemy being targeted, similar to the target markers forTenta Missiles.

Torpedo's locked form works similar toSplash Wall in matters of lethal bombs. They explode immediately, which can be disastrous if the thrower or a teammate is too close to the Torpedo.

A direct hit from the Torpedo's explosion will deal 60 damage while the droplets will deal an additional 12 damage each. The droplets can hit up to three times, capping the damage at 96. The explosion's inking range is slightly larger than aSuction Bomb's, and the droplets will also ink the ground.

If a player attempts to throw a second torpedo while the first one is still active, a "Can't Use" prompt will appear, preventing them from using it. Therefore,Ink Saver (Sub) cannot be used to throw two, so the ability has minimal use outside of conserving their ink.

If the Torpedo touches any surface (floor, wall, grate, etc.), or does not find a target, it will not activate its second stage and will explode much like aSplat Bomb or an unshakenFizzy Bomb, only dealing the base explosion's damage and not spreading droplets. In this case, the explosion's painting range is also much smaller.

    • —Reduced the radius at which the blast can deal 60.0 damage by 13%: 3 units → 2.6 units.[2]
      • Although the blast radius was reduced, the way the game handles hit detection for the inner blast radius was changed, thus the effective blast radius remains about the same.

    • — The sound effects when theSplat Bomb, Torpedo, orFizzy Bomb roll on the ground are now easier to hear.
    9.2.0
