Weapon Selection
The Weapon Of Your Choice
Upon starting the game, it is common to choose the weapon of your liking, such as a weapon that would be aesthetically good with your character, or any weapon that will take your interest will not be a problem.
Shooter Is Highly Recommended Due To Its Performance
There are different types of weapons in Splatoon 3, and among them, is a type of weapon called Shooter. Shooter is highly recommended for beginners since it gives off a high rate of fire, making it easy to paint the stage, and it can be deceptive even if it misses a little when attacking.
Chargers & Bow (Stringers) Are Difficult To Use
The Charger and the Stringer, which were added in Splatoon 3, are so-called single-shot weapons. It will be quite difficult for a beginner to hit an enemy who is far away and looks smaller when conducting a single shot. If you think you can't use it once, since you are used to using a Shooter, try again some other time until you get used to the Charger & Bow's gameplay.
