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.

Ranking

B Sprinkler currently is considered a B Tier Sub Weapon.
Sprinkler is a bit of an unusual pick and might only be used in situational moments. Might be better to go with one of the better sub weapons available!

How to Use Sprinkler

Holding down NSW - R allows you to aim where you may throw the Sprinkler. The sprinkler may be attached to any surface including walls and ceiling and will ink indefinitely as long as it isn't destroyed. With this in mind, it is ideal to place the sprinkler in hard to reach spots that will allow it to continuously ink a nearby area. Only one sprinkler may be placed at a time, and will gradually slow down the longer it remains active. Remember to replace new ones in different spots every so often.
