The Big Bubbler is a special weapon introduced in Splatoon 3.
Appearance[]
The Big Bubbler is a Special Weapon. It's a machine with a little panel or fan on the top resembling a Squid Beakon. It generates a huge force field-like barrier around it. Enemy ink cannot get through the barrier, but can get through if shooting from inside the barrier. However, hitting the barrier with enemy ink continuously will make it disappear. Opponents can also pass through the barrier and splat players from the inside. The Big Bubbler also acts as a beacon for super jumps (hence the Squid Beakon-like fan on top).
Description[]
When used, a barrier generator is spawned at the player's feet, creating a large, immobile spherical barrier. This barrier protects allies inside it by blocking incoming enemy attacks, but it cannot block opponents from entering it, and does not block enemy attacks fired from the inside, even if they pass from inside to outside the barrier. The barrier also has limited health; blocking shots slowly damages the barrier, shrinking it and reducing its active time.
The barrier detonates most enemy sub weapons on contact, dealing full damage to allied players who aren't on the inside.
Multiple special weapons ignore the Big Bubbler's barrier.
Quotes[]
| “ | Deploy this device at your feet to shield yourself with a large, spherical barrier. This bubble will block outside ink attacks, but it can't prevent opponents themselves from entering. Damage to the top section or the inner device will cause the barrier to pop more quickly. | ” |
