Sheldon’s Notes

The Rapid Blaster features an improved rate of fire and reduced ink consumption. It comes with the trade-off of less attack power, but you can reveal your opponents’ positions to teammates with the Ink Mine. Finish off the tracked opponents with the Splat Bomb Launcher. Recommended for players who like to work closely with their team.

Tips

  • Splat an opponent with two direct hits from the Rapid Blaster. When you can’t get a clear shot, aim high over walls and cover. Each round leaves behind a wide ink trail. Ink Saver (Main) is critical.
  • Ink Mines inflict little damage, but they track targets. Opponents caught in the blast radius are tracked for about six seconds. Chase them down before they recover.
  • For best ink coverage, activate the Splat Bomb Launcher from an elevated platform. Stage offensive pushes to chase off opponents with the downpour.
