The Sprinkler is a Sub Weapon in Splatoon.

Description

When used, it continually sprays ink in a circular ring around itself, in a staggering motion, until it breaks. It can be thrown onto virtually any surface, including ones that are upside-down. If the user throws another sprinkler with one already in use, or the user is splatted, the first one will automatically break.

Tips

  • Throwing it where Inklings usually pass by forces them to use a small amount of ink to clear the area up.
  • As it allows you to throw it onto upside down surfaces, throw it upside down as the shower of ink may damage and confuse Inklings.
  • Throwing it on hard-to-reach areas such as the moving platform on Saltspray Rig will allow it to ink more turf and be harder for enemies to destroy.
  • The Sprinkler can also be used to distract opposing Inklings, giving its user an opportunity to attack while their focus is on the Sprinkler.
  • It can be used as a shield. Throw it down, and shoot over it. This works best for stationary weapons like The Kelp Splat Charger, Kelp Splatterscope, and Custom Hydra Splatling

Countering

  • Shooting the sprinkler will cause it to break. Make sure to shoot any enemy sprinklers in sight, as they will continue spreading ink unless you destroy it.
  • If you are using a short ranged weapon, watch out for opponents near the sprinkler
