I'm sorry, maybe I missed the blaster. Could explain that weapon to me?I'm kinda saddened that I dont see that many people looking forward to the Blaster. I personally find it super cool and am thinking about maining that until some better shotgun comes out down the pipeline. (Im best at close range with shooters and besides, who doesn't like 1 hit kills at a close enough range?)
There is no shotgun. There's a charger (sniper), shooter (rifle/splattershot), and roller (melee).Is the blaster the shotgun?
Because I'll 100% be using that.
Oh! @Citanul! That's a shooter and I think it's more like a grenade launcher than a shotgun.The Blaster is kind of a unique weapon. It's KIND OF like a shotgun in that it seems to shoot a big blob in a short range that one shots on direct hit. It's a little bit more versatile in that the blob will explode at the end of its trajectory, allowing you to hit people behind corners.
You can see it in action from the footage from the Direct @ ~10:57
I like being up close so I think Shooters and Rollers for me mainly. Personally the Aerospray MG in the Shooter category has me intrigued the most since it looks like a closer ranged Shooter. Maybe like the MP5 of Splatoon?
Yeah, a grenade launcher comparison is apt except that the blobs don't linger and bounce around like a typical grenade launcher. I guess you could think of it like a grenade launcher with a very short fuse though. I'd still say the shotgun comparison is more accurate, given the effective range, but to me the Blaster is its own thing and still not REALLY a shotgun (but better due to some extra versatility).Oh! @Citanul! That's a shooter and I think it's more like a grenade launcher than a shotgun.
