How to Use Sloshing Machine Effectively



Take Advantage of its Large Ink Shot Radius

Enemy inklings can get splatted even if you do not directly aim at them. The radius of the ink will compensate for any slight inaccuracy.

Attack Opponents by Going In and Out of Cover

Since the Sloshing Machine's fire rate is not as fast as other weapons, you can take advantage of this by hiding behind cover after each shot. This will make you a harder target to hit and should land you some easy splats.

Use Fizzy Bombs to Keep Enemies at Bay

You will not be as effective as other close-ranged weapons, this weapon works best when enemies are slightly kept at bay. Use your Fizzy Bombs if any enemy Inkling decides to charge up to you.

literally when have you ever seen a Bloblobber chosen in tournament over the course the three Splatoon games compared to sloshing machines?

2 Anonymousabout 2 years

Bloblobber is very inconsistent imo, while sloshing machine lands hits faster and doesn’t need to predict movement.
