Splatoon 3 is absolutely packed with weapons for you to splat opponents and ink up their turf with. Rollers, blasters, buckets, bows and many more await you in the latest action-packed ink-based free for all. 

There are many factors to consider when ranking Splatoon 3’s weapons. You have to not only consider how effective they are at splatting opposing Inklings, but also how well they can cover an area, and weigh this power and coverage against the rate at which they consume your ink. 

With so much going on, it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s why we’ve ranked Splatoon 3’s weapons in our Tier List. Below you’ll find what we believe to be the most powerful and reliable of Splatoon 3’s weapons, as well as those that we found to be subpar. Take a look, take your pick, then get out there and ink up the opposition.
