How to Use Splatterscope Effectively

Charge up safely first before lining up your shot. Don't move while aiming. Disable enemy attacks and protect your allies with the Ink Vac.

Charge up safely first before lining up your shot.

Fully charge the Splatterscope while out of the line of sight, then start lining up your shot on a target once charged. There will be a visible line seen by everyone including enemies as you aim so be sure to aim and shoot quickly!

Avoid following your opponent's movement while the weapon is charged as it slows down aiming.

It's best not to move around while charging the Splatterscope as this hinders your movement and will make you a possible target.

Use the Ink Vac to disable your opponent's attacks and protect your allies.

When your team is under heavy fire, use the Ink Vac as a means of protection to absorb the enemy's ink. You can then perform a counter attack by releasing the absorbed ink on the enemy!
