Splatoon is a shooter game defined by its wide variety of unique weapons, allowing any player to find a weapon that best suits their playstyle. As of the launch of Splatoon 3, we now have 11 of these weapon classes, adding even more options to choose from than ever before. Every single main weapon in the game is paired with a weapon kit, consisting of a sub weapon and special weapon. In this video, I want to talk about Splatoon’s weapon kit design: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
