Splatoon 3 will have all basic weapons from the previous games
Splatoon 3 will feature all of the basic weapons from previous games in the series, Nintendo has confirmed. That bit of information was published on the game’s official Twitter account just a short while ago.
Over the past few days, Nintendo has been sharing other tidbits as well. For example, fans have been introduced to the Splattershot, Splattershot Jr., .96 Gal, Triple Inkstrike, and Ink Vac. You can read more about these weapons and other information below.
First up is the tried-and-true Splattershot. Although some see this as an entry-level shooter, you'll often find advanced players taking advantage of its capabilities. And the latest Splatsville iteration features a new frame that offers added resiliency and ease of maintenance. pic.twitter.com/CBk3Nc6jQ5

Snack acquired! Onward with science! This beauty is the .96 Gal—a high-impact, long-range weapon that packs a major punch. The ink tank has been modified to Splatlands specifications, and the barrel is sourced from a water-purification device. Talk about a clean shot! pic.twitter.com/0TuFVebLXa

Boom! We didn't want you to wait too long. Observe how a user can group ink strikes closely…or space them out strategically. Truly, this is a weapon that rewards the flexible and calculating user. Apologies for our earlier "boom"—we do get excited here at the Squid Research Lab. pic.twitter.com/nmuLgeiJaD

Are you as fascinated as we are by new weapon types? Squid Research Lab here with another exclusive finding. Behold the Triple Inkstrike, a modified version of a weapon originally discovered in Inkopolis. If you think it looks impressive here, wait until you see it in action… pic.twitter.com/xgOKftKLVO

Squid Research Lab here! It seems the brand Takoroka has updated its legacy Arrows shoes. The new Arrows are lighter and more flexible with added ventilation. But this isn't a case of function over fashion—we are assured by our staff "sneakerhead" that they still look "fresh." pic.twitter.com/IKHRciBWGh

Witness this rare footage of the Ink Vac in action. The more attacks it inhales, the more powerful the Ink Vac becomes. This is the sort of weapon that could provide security for an entire squad! Rest assured that our excitement is tempered by academic rigor. pic.twitter.com/OMdxknJkiS
