Splatoon 3 features a massive armory of weapons to choose from. Each weapon belongs to one of the 11 weapon classes. These classes are designed to offer a unique gameplay experience. Depending on your preferences, you will need to find which class suits you best before picking one of its weapons.
Choosing the best weapon in Splatoon 3 can also be a little difficult since once you have finalized a weapon class, you must also consider the special and sub-weapons that can be paired with each main weapon.
Best weapons for each class in Splatoon 3
To be precise, Splatoon 3 features 53 main weapons. This is a wide variety of arsenal that can be unlocked throughout the course of the game and be used along with Support, Sub, and Special weapons, which by the way, are a group of different weapons.
By now, you must have understood how puzzling it can be to pick one main weapon from the different classes, but worry no more! Below is the list of each weapon class and the best main weapon you can equip from it.
Rollers
We’re beginning the list with Rollers. For this category, we have picked Flingza Roller. It is an all-rounder weapon and a new addition to the game. Though it will take you time to acquire it, it is worth it due to the massive amount of ink coverage it offers. Master it well, and you’re all good to go.
Blasters
The second class on the list is Blasters. For this category, we have opted for Range Blaster. Don’t hesitate due to its low fire rate as it’s great at dealing damage.
If you like to play long-medium-range combat, you might want to go with this bad boy. What’s better than wiping out enemies from afar while keeping yourself safe?
Chargers
For chargers, we’re going for Bamboozler 14 MK 1. You might think it has a limited damage output per hit compared to the others available in this weapon class; however, here’s the thing. You might not always want to depend on the stats and instead look into little details that might help your play style.
If you like spamming enemies with attacks, Bamboozler 14 MK 1 with a short charge time does that for you.
So while the damage output per hit is small, continuously attacking the enemy will take them out equally well.
Splatlings
For the Splatlings class, we have picked the Heavy Splatling. It is a great-range weapon that performs well in close, medium, and long ranges.
It offers great versatility and a high fire ink rate that will tear down any enemy that comes your way. It compromises mobility, but with great strategy, that should not be a problem.
Dualies
Next on our list is the Dualies category; we have picked the Dark Tetra Dualies.
Dark Tetra Dualies is one of the killer weapons. Not only does it allow players to use four rolls in quick succession, but it also gives insane mobility, which we know is great for confusing the enemies and making it hard for them to keep track of you. You can also retreat and reload without the disruption of ground ink.
Shooters
For the Shooter class, we have .52’ Gal. Although it has a low fire rate, it is still great when used right.
This weapon can crowd control in the least ways you expect. With just two direct hits, you’ll be able to clear out enemies that are exhausting you.
Brellas
For Brellas class, we’re going with Undercover Brella. This is a great weapon if you’re fan of having your cover-up while putting up a heated fight on the field. You shoot with your shield up and are able to produce decent damage.
We also have another pick; the Tenta Brella. It can shield you from approaching harm and has a respectable amount of power.
Although its range will leave you wanting, if you fire it forward, it can cover a large area with a sustained charge and provide moving cover.
Sloshers
Slosher for Sloshers. The initial weapon you can get is the best for this class, surprisingly. Slosher almost acts as a grenade launcher that will get enemies from a distance and send out damaging projectiles.
It will ensure you’re splatting the enemies while also inking the field in your color, making sure the enemies know who dominates the game.
Brushes
For the Brushes category, we’re sticking with the obvious choice, Inkbrush. It is great in terms of Imanoeuvrability and quickly spreads ink. It is equivalent to a shotgun and must be equipped as the main weapon from this class.
Stringers
Last but not least, we have the Stringer class; for it, we have narrowed down both the Tri-Stringer and Reef Lux 450.
Tri-Stringer is a great weapon for long-range combat and inking from afar. It is great to fire off a quick blast and has great short-range turf coverage.
Reef Lux 450, on the other hand, is one of the best weapons in the game however requires a lot of practice and having a perfect target.
You will need to focus a lot when you want to Splat enemies; however, once you do so, you’ll see a massive difference in the field.
