What's your favourite sub weapon?

[kaasiand]

I think mine is pretty clear at this point.

IMO, sprinkler is THE silliest sub there is (and most misunderstood, never given a proper chance). People tend to brush it off as just a provider of passive paint and nothing else, but once you start running some (or all) ink saver sub on it, you get to use them FAR more disposably and aggressively, unlocking their true power of being able to do basically whatever you need them to at any given moment.

They offer just as much for movement as a burst bomb does (ESPECIALLY on weapons that take very long per shot, like blasters, brellas, H-3, dynamo), and if used aggressively, you can get some very quick damage on the enemy if aimed well, or even camp superjumps with them. On Rainmaker they're a great help with pops if thrown where the shield is about to regenerate, and on TC it's much easier to hit enemies with sprinklers than usual because the surface to stand on is so small, letting you shove those beautiful three words in their face, "Splatted by Sprinkler!"

I need sprinkler on H-3 and bamboo so badly (also wish splat brella had the vanilla's sprinkler and the sorella's inkjet because autobomb does NOT help with brella's movement while sprinkler does)

I also wish they'd do 30 (or more...) damage again like in S1 20 damage is a genuinely awful number (I can't even call it a 5-shot because you can generally count on it 6-shotting instead)

Yeah I really wish they never nerfed Sprinkler from S1. It was cool, perfectly balanced, and yet it probably messed with some game design ideas the devs had and so it got nerfed and they never looked back. Really is a shame. Mine favorite sub's probably Splat Bomb but that's in some part because of how good it is. It's fun to be able to roll them and they're super versatile. If it weren't for that it'd be Beakons because any team that has those is just able to play the game a lot more it feels like. You don't have to rely on teammates to give you a good jump spot and you don't have to run all the way back from spawn nearly as often.

i want to like marker bc it’s such a cool concept but like. it does nothing. it is a line that sometimes marks for 5 seconds
my actual favorite sub is fizzy bc free kills funny and it’s just very fun to learn how to charge up

fizzy bomb is so funny, it's the most "nintendo" sub weapon in the game and i love it for that. a bomb that you charge by shaking your controller, what's not to love
(also the paint and damage combos are super super interesting and fun for it too of course, it works really well on so many weapons)

Torpedo my best friend Torpedo... I don't miss playing Dapple Dualies Nouveau (Not even slightly, genuinely no clue how I managed to get them to 5 stars because every time I consider playing them again I remember how horrendously unfun they are to me), but mannn. I miss throwing 15 Torpedoes constantly. They're so fun I love you Torpedo

Curling Bomb, love bouncing it around corners or swimming behind

I'd really love a curling bomb undercover kit, UC lacks a launchable canopy to swim behind so this would be quite nice

 

[isaac4]

I love fizzy for how many uses it has outside of potentially getting a kill. Movement, poking, painting, controlling space, combo tool, and even using it to quickly pop rainmaker. It's just good in so many different situations.

 

[divdex]

Wall, it is actually engaging to use and fight against because of its meaningful weaknesses. the weapons that get wall however are questionable sometimes

 

[Mikaya]

I’d have to go for splat bombs, if used effectively they can secure a sneaky kill every now and again, especially when a player isn’t paying attention/very occupied. I think some weapons/builds even allow for two bombs to be thrown almost at once.

I absolutely love angle shooter. It may not be powerful but it has such a cool design. It being a tripwire that locates and can do damage from afar is really cool!!
