The Aerospray MG is a main shooter weapon in Splatoon, Splatoon 2, and Splatoon 3.



Description[]

Splatoon[]

The Aerospray MG fires very fast, so its user can cover a relatively large area with ink in a short amount of time but has poor range. Beware, as this weapon isn't the best for using during Ranked Battle, because of its low damage, unless you are playing Splat zones. It's also a short range weapon, so it will make quick work of opponents near you. It's in a set with the Seeker and the Inkzooka.

It appears to be based on a type of airbrush, it's specifically visually similar to those used for spray tans.

A modified version (which also unlocks from Hero Mode and is golden) is the Aerospray RG. It can be obtained by defeating the Octowhirl.

Splatoon 2[]

The Aerospray MG in Splatoon 2 is the exact same weapon only with a different sub weapon and special. In Splatoon 2, the sub weapon is the Suction Bomb and the special weapon is the Curling-Bomb Launcher.

Splatoon 3[]

The Aerospray MG in Splatoon 3 is also the exact same weapon, only with a new kit adapted for Splatoon 3 gameplay. In Splatoon 3, the sub weapon is the Fizzy Bomb and the special weapon is the Reefslider.

Weapon Quote[]

"Created by Sheldon from his grandfather's blueprints. Extremely high rate of fire. Each shot is weak individually, but a sustained barrage can really pressure opponents."

Strategy[]

Shooters are the backbone and supporters of almost any good team. They're versatile and varied with each weapon, and cover plenty of ground, as well as apply more pressure to the enemy team than either charger or roller weapons.

The Aerospray MG is the first Aerospray available, and is a fantastic weapon for covering lots of ground in turf wars and dealing with hard to pin down players. While it lacks the power of other shooter weapons, it makes up for it with the highest rate of fire of any weapon. Combined with its generous spread, it can cover more turf than a roller, when used right. It also has the Seeker sub, to deal with far away enemies, or the Inkzooka if you need something a bit more reliable. No matter what, this weapon will deal with almost every enemy when played right. In Splatoon 2 the Areospray MG has the Suction bomb sub which can be used to cover your escapes and the Curling Bomb Launcher special for pushing and turfing.

Tips for facing each weapon type:

  • Shooter-type weapons are slightly out of your favor - unfortunately, your weapon has some very low range. The best option is to throw out a Seeker, and from there you can try to take advantage of them trying to dodge the sub if you're comfortable with it, or just run to cover more turf. If it's available, Inkzooka will deal with enemies better than your bombs or your gun, since it takes enemies out in one hit.
  • Roller-type weapons will be the easiest matchup, since they rely on close range even more than you. All you need to do is aim and fire. If you're having trouble with them, stop trying to shoot them down and settle for a Seeker to pressure them away, while you keep your distance.
  • Charger-type weapons have a pretty big advantage over you in this matchup, since they'll likely be out of reach for your sub. The best choice is to save your Inkzooka for these matchups, and pick them off from out of their reach. If your special isn't charged yet, the best choice is to leave the charger's firing range to cover more turf elsewhere, until it is charged. Of course, sneaking around behind is a perfectly good option as well.
