The charger is one of eleven main weapons available.
It's a ranged weapon that excels in taking down players from afar.
Each shot needs to be charged. The longer it's charged, the more powerful the shot becomes. When charged 75-100%, it will splat in one shot (Bambloozers don't) . This makes the charger a slow weapon, but it's balanced by superior range and high damage potential. The charger can ink a long line straight in front of it.
Only direct shots will damage opponents. Falling ink does little damage and can't finish off an enemy.
These weapons sometimes feature a scope, giving them more range in return for less visibility and a slightly longer charge time.
