Sub Weapons are your second choice for attacking and supporting Splatoon 3. Read on to see a list of all new and returning sub weapons and their effects.
Sub Weapon | Effect |
---|---|
Angle Shooter | A sub weapon that fires straight forward and leaves a line in its path. Opponents that are hit directly will take damage, and those that touch the remaining line will be marked. When a shot hits a solid surface, it will bounce off of it and continue in a straight line. |
Angle Shooter is the only new sub weapon in Splatoon 3. Like the other Sub Weapons, users were able to practice using it during the demo.

Toxic Mist | A bottle that sprays the fluid of a certain creature in mist form. Opponents caught in the mist move slower and their ink is slightly reduced. the longer an enemy is in the mist, the stronger the effect becomes. |
Torpedo | A sub weapon that flies toward your enemies. When thrown near an enemy, it changes shape and targets the foe, exploding on impact and splatting ink everywhere. You can shoot down enemy torpedoes. |
Suction Bomb | A bomb that attaches to the ground and walls. It takes longer to explode than the Splat Bombs and spreads ink farther. |
Squid Beakon | A device that emits a signal that Inklings and Octolings can detect. You can Super Jump to a teammate's Squid Bekon by selecting it and pressing A. You can place up to three at a time. They're usually single use, but allies who don't have the jump beacon equipped can use them twice. |
Sprinkler | A device that attaches to the ground or to walls and sprays ink. It operates at full power right when you place it but gradually gets weaker. You can only place one at a time. |
Splat Bomb | A bomb that explodes a short time after it lands. It inks the arena around it when it explodes and can even take out opponents. |
Splash Wall | A device that erects a wall of ink in front of you that blocks enemy intrusion and attacks. Attacks from enemies will speed up the time it takes for the wall to come down. You can only place one at a time. |
Point Sensor | A device that marks enemies in the area where it lands. This will reveal their location to every member of your team. |
Ink Mine | A trap that you place on the ground. When an opponent gets close, it activates, marking that opponent. It'll also activate if inked by an opponent. You can place two at once. |
Fizzy Bomb | A bomb loaded with special carbonated ink. Hold R to build power, then unleash up to three explosions. Shake the controller, move the Stick, or mash buttons to build power faster! |
Curling Bomb | A bomb that moves in a straight line inking the ground before it explodes. It also bounces off walls! You can adjust the length of time before detonation by holding down R. |
Burst Bomb | A bomb that explodes as soon as it hits anything. The explosion is small and not that powerful, but these bombs can be thrown repeatedly without consuming too much ink. |
Autobomb | A bomb that automatically seeks out opponents. It will search for opponents in the area that you throw it, and if it finds once, it will automatically start walking toward them. When it approaches an opponent, it stops and explodes. |
13 sub weapons that have appeared in previous entries make a return in Splatoon 3. Certain sub weapons, such as the Seeker, have been replaced by the Curling Bomb and Autobomb, while the Disruptor has been replaced by Toxic Mist.
Press the R Button to use your Sub Weapon in battle. Ink is required to use a sub weapon so make sure that you always have a good level of ink available to always have a sub weapon on hand.
Sub Weapons are used alongside your Main Weapon and Special Weapon. Each Main Weapon will have a specific Sub Weapon and Special Weapon equipped to it. It is important to keep this in mind when picking your preferred Main Weapon.
