{{Quote|Your go-to weapon can be short-range, long-range, or just plain messy (like the Splat Roller). Each has its own benefits and weaknesses, so there's something for every play style!|{{S}}{{'s}} official website<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160130083158/https://splatoon.nintendo.com/fresh-gear/ Gear page on the now-defunct official website for ''Splatoon'' for Wii U (archive.org)]</ref>}}

The '''main weapon''' is the primary type of [[weapon]] that players use in the {{Ss}}. Each main weapon comes with a [[sub weapon]] and [[special weapon]] to form a set.

==List of main weapons==

===Shooters===
[[File:S3 shooter weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Inkling wielding the [[Splattershot]].]]
{{main|Shooter}}

[[Shooter]]s are guns that fire small blobs of ink in quick succession. Most shooters continuously fire when the player holds the trigger, but some shooters offer [[wikipedia:Semi-automatic firearm|semi-automatic]] or [[wikipedia:Burst mode (weapons)|burst-fire]] functionality, requiring the player to tap the trigger repeatedly instead of holding it for some or all aspects of operation.

Prior to {{S3}}, the shooter class additionally included [[Blaster (weapon class)|blasters]], which were separated into their own class in that game.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Shooter|List of shooters}}

===Rollers===
[[File:S3 roller weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Octoling wielding the [[Gold Dynamo Roller]].]]
{{main|Roller}}

[[Roller]]s can be pushed along the ground, leaving a trail of ink. When performing an attack, a large amount of ink is flung from the roller. Damage is dealt if opponents come into contact with the weapon while it is being pushed, with most rollers being capable of crushing opponents in one hit. Starting in {{S2}}, rollers are capable of executing a thinner long-range vertical swing by swinging while in midair.

Prior to {{S3}}, the roller class additionally included [[brush]]es, which were separated into their own class in that game.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Roller|List of rollers}}

===Chargers===
[[File:S3 charger weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Inkling holding the [[E-liter 4K Scope]].]]
{{main|Charger}}

[[Charger]]s are [[wikipedia:Sniper_rifle|sniper rifle]]-like mid- to long-range weapons that shoot extremely fast ink shots in a straight line. Chargers can instantly splat opponents at long range once they are fully charged up (with the exception of the [[Snipewriter 5H]] and [[Bamboozler]]s). Uncharged shots do not have much range or damage. While charging, a laser shows all players the direction in which the charger is being aimed. Starting in {{S2}}, some chargers allow the player to store their charge when swimming around in ink for a short period of time.

{{#section:Charger|List of chargers}}

===Sloshers===
[[File:S3 slosher weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Inkling wielding the [[Sloshing Machine]].]]
{{main|Slosher (weapon class)}}

[[Slosher (weapon class)|Sloshers]] are bucket-like weapons that hurl ink in an arc. The ink can be hurled over walls or obstacles. Some sloshers have unique projectiles, such as bubbles that linger and bounce around when they hit a solid surface or long-range projectiles which explode on impact with solid surfaces.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Slosher (weapon class)|List of sloshers}}

===Splatlings===
[[File:S3 splatling weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Octoling holding the [[Hydra Splatling]].]]
{{main|Splatling}}

[[Splatling]]s are [[Wikipedia:Rotary cannon|rotary cannon]]- or [[Wikipedia:Minigun|minigun]]-like weapons that generally have a high rate of fire and considerable range. In-game, they operate similar to chargers but release a stream of small ink bullets instead of a single powerful shot. Like chargers, a full charge is necessary to achieve maximum potential range and firing duration.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Splatling|List of splatlings}}

===Dualies===
[[File:S3 dualie weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Octoling wielding the [[Dapple Dualies]].]]
{{main|Dualie}}

[[Dualie]]s are paired sets of guns that give their user the ability to dodge roll. After a dodge roll, the two dualies are held together by the player, enhancing their performance in various ways depending on the dualies. This weapon class was introduced in {{S2}}.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Dualie|List of dualies}}

===Brellas===
[[File:S3 brella weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Inkling holding the [[Splat Brella]].]]
{{main|Brella}}

[[Brella]]s are shotgun-like weapons with deployable shields which have large amounts of HP that can be held in front of the user. Most brellas can also launch their shield forward. This weapon class was introduced in {{S2}}.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Brella|List of brellas}}

===Blasters===
[[File:S3 blaster weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Octoling holding the [[Range Blaster]].]]
{{main|Blaster (weapon class)}}

[[Blaster (weapon class)|Blasters]] are weapons that fire large globs of ink with a delayed explosion, which have a spherical hitbox and are capable of hitting opponents that are behind walls or cover.

Blasters have been in the {{Ss}} since {{S}}. However, the blaster class was introduced in {{S3}}; prior to that game, blasters were classified as [[shooter]]s.

{{Clear}}
{{#section:Blaster (weapon class)|List of blasters}}

===Brushes===
[[File:S3 brush weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Inkling holding the [[Inkbrush]].]]
{{main|Brush}}

[[Brush]]es can be pushed along the ground, much as rollers. They are especially fast but leave a narrow trail of ink. They do not deal nearly as much contact damage, and no brush is capable of crushing opponents in one hit. However, instead of flinging large waves of ink, brushes quickly swipe from side to side, flicking many smaller globs. 

Brushes have been in the {{Ss}} since {{S}}. However, the brush class was introduced in {{S3}}; prior to that game, brushes were classified as [[roller]]s.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:brush|List of brushes}}

===Stringers===
[[File:S3 stringer weapon promo.png|thumb|275px|An Inkling wielding the [[Tri-Stringer]].]]
{{main|Stringer}}

[[Stringer]]s are bow-like weapons that generally have considerable range and middling damage. Like chargers, a full charge is necessary to achieve maximum range and damage. They have vertical and horizontal shots, similar to rollers. The weapon class was introduced in {{S3}}.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Stringer|List of stringers}}

===Splatanas===
[[File:S3 splatana weapon promo.jpg|thumb|275px|An Inkling wielding the [[Splatana Wiper]].]]
{{main|Splatana}}

[[Splatana]]s are sword-like weapons that are similar to brushes, without the rolling function. Instead, when {{button|ZR|Switch}} is held, they will charge a more powerful swing. All splatanas have an additional melee hitbox as the splatana itself, and when charged, this hitbox can splat opponents in one hit. The weapon class was introduced in {{S3}}.
{{Clear}}
{{#section:Splatana|List of splatanas}}

===Rare weapons===
[[File:Salmon Run Rare Weapon.png|thumb|The [[Grizzco Blaster]], one of the [[rare weapon]]s, being loaned to a player during a rotation with randomized weapons.]]
{{Main|Rare weapon}}

[[Rare weapon]]s are modified weapons from existing classes, which are available during wildcard rotations in [[Salmon Run]] and [[Salmon Run Next Wave|Salmon Run: Next Wave]].
