Weapon

An Inkling using a weapon (Splattershot)

Weapons are tools used in Splatoon franchise to spread ink and splat Inklings and Octolings. They can be purchased from Ammo Knights (in both Splatoon and Splatoon 2) with money earned from multiplayer matches and Amiibo challenges. In Splatoon 3 you will need to get weapons by getting Sheldon licenses by leveling up and raising your weapon's freshness level.
