Why we need RULES?

Rules are established principles or guidelines that dictate how something should be done or how situations should be handled. They are used to regulate behavior, ensure fairness, and maintain order in various contexts, such as society, organizations, games, and social settings. Rules can be formal or informal. Formal rules are codified and enforced by a governing body, such as laws, regulations, or contracts. Informal rules are unwritten and enforced by social pressure, such as social norms or etiquette. Rules can be helpful in many ways. They can: Ensure fairness by creating a level playing field for everyone. Protect people from harm by setting standards of behavior. Maintain order by providing a framework for behavior. However, rules can also be seen as restrictive or unfair. It is important to consider the purpose of a rule before deciding whether or not to follow it. For example, a speed limit may be seen as restrictive, but it is also designed to protect people from harm. A dress...

Splatoon 2 Weapons Guide - Best Weapons

Splatoon 2 has a wealth of weapons for you to choose from, all of which are available for purchase from the Ammo Knights store run by Sheldon in Inkopolis Square, but only after you’ve reached the required level for each weapon. This Splatoon 2 weapons guide will walk you through the best weapons to unlock, as well as the best weapons to suit your own specific playstyle. 

If you instead needed help with anything else in the game, then head over to our Splatoon 2 tips and tricks guides hub, containing all the information you need to dominate in Turf War online, or guides on how to beat every boss in Splatoon 2.

Splatoon 2 Best Weapons Guide

There are a variety of weapons available for purchase in Splatoon 2, and while we’ll run down every weapon in the game further below, for now we’ll be detailing the best Splatoon 2 weapon for every game mode. 

Best Weapons for Turf War:

  • Tentatek Splattershot 
  • Splattershot Jr. 
  • N-Zap 89 
  • N-Zap 85 
  • Splat Dualies 
  • Aerospray MG
The reasoning behind these weapons is simple: you need to ink a lot of ground in Splatoon 2’s Turf War in order to win, and quickly. The Splattershots, Splat Dualies, and Aerospray MG all have a high rate of fire, able to ink lots of ground quickly, while the N-Zap 85 and 89 have better damage, as well as Suction Bombs, perfect for covering your surroundings in ink in one go. 

The Splat Dualies are a great, versatile weapon in Splatoon 2.

Best Weapons for Tower Control:

  • Heavy Splatling 
  • Tentatek Splattershot 
  • Splat Dualies 
  • Splat Charger
You need to control the tower in order to get it to move in Tower Control, so getting your enemies off the tower is crucial. The Splat Charger is perfect for singling out enemies on top of the tower, while the Heavy Splatling and Splat Dualies are perfect for inking lots of ground in front of you, as well as dealing out solid damage to enemy Inklings. 

Best Weapons for Splat Zones:

  • Tetatek Splattershot 
  • Splat Roller 
  • Octobrush 
  • Aerospray MG 
In Splatoon 2’s Splat Zones, you need to control a number of specified areas at once, instead of the majority of the entire map like in Turf War. The Splat Roller and Octobrush are perfect for this, able to rapidly cover an area in ink, while the Splattershot and Aerospray MG can do the same job slightly less effectively, but dealing out more damage to opposing Inklings. 

Here's the leaderboard system of Splatoon 2.

What are the Best Weapons in Splatoon 2?

Below, we’ve listed every Splatoon 2 weapon, as well as ordering them by group, placing all of the automatic Shooters together on their own, as well as Blasters and Chargers into their own groups. In each specific weapon group, we’ve ordered the Splatoon 2 weapons from best to worst, according to all our time spent with the game so far. 

Best Shooters in Splatoon 2

Here you’ll find every Shooter weapon in Splatoon 2 ranked from best at the top level, to worst down at the bottom level. This is all our opinion, of course, but every weapon near the top of the list is near essential in winning a game of Turf War. 
  • Tentatek Splattershot - .52 Gal - Wasabi Splattershot 
  • .96 Gal Deco - Splattershot Pro - Berry Splattershot - Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose 
  • Custom Jet Squelcher - Splattershot - L-3 Nozzlenose D - Forge Splattershot Pro - Splattershot Jr. - Aerospray MG - N-Zap 83 - Neo Splash-o-Matic 
  • .52 Gal Deco - N-Zap 85 - Splash-o-Matic - Dual Squelcher - .96 Gal - Neo Sploosh-o-Matic - N-Zap 89 - Custom Dual Squelcher - Sploosh-o-Matic 7 
  • L-3 Nozzlenoze - Aerospray PG - H-3 Nozzlenose D 
  • H-3 Nozzlenose - Jet Squelcher - Sploosh-o-Matic 
  • Aerospray RG - Custom Splattershot

Best Blasters in Splatoon 2

Here, we’ll be ranking the best Splatoon 2 Blasters, ranking the complete weapon set from best to worst. Blasters are generally slower weapons than say, Shooters, but make up in firepower and damage what they lack in speed. 
  • Luna Blaster Neo 
  • Custom Range Blaster - Grim Range Blaster - Rapid Blaster Pro Deco - Luna Blaster 
  • Rapid Blaster Deco - Custom Blaster - Range Blaster 
  • Rapid Blaster Pro 
  • Rapid Blaster 
  • Blaster

From the Splatoon 2 lobby you can pick Turf War, Ranked Matches, or League Matches.

Best Chargers in Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2’s Chargers are best used for taking enemies out from afar, instead of actually covering the ground in your ink. They perhaps shouldn’t be used in modes like Turf War then, but Chargers can prove deadly in Tower Control and Splat Zones. 
  • Bamboozler 14 Mk III - Bento Splat Charger - Bento Splatterscope - Custom E-liter 3K Scope 
  • Fresh Squiffer - Kelp Splat Charger - Kelp Splatterscope - Custom E-liter 3K - Bamboozler 14 Mk II 
  • New Squiffer - Hero Charger Replica - Bamboozler 14 Mk I 
  • Classic Squiffer - E-liter 3K Scope - Splatterscope 
  • Splat Charger - E-liter 3K

Best Rollers and Brushes in Splatoon 2

We’re bundling Rollers and Brushes into the same category since they both cover the same purpose. Rollers and Brushes are best at covering a wide area in ink, and very quickly at that. They’re best used for Turf War, but can definitely come in handy if you need to capture some ground in Splat Zones. 
  • Carbon Roller - Dynamo Roller 
  • Octobrush - Gold Dynamo Roller - Tempered Dynamo Roller 
  • Krak-On Roller - Octobrush Nouveau - Carbon Roller Deco - Permanent Inkbrush 
  • Splat Roller - Coro Coro Roller - Inkbrush Nouveau 
  • Inkbrush

Rails are a great way of getting around a map quickly.

Best Splatlings in Splatoon 2

Splatlings are basically the gatling guns of Splatoon 2, able to deal out huge amounts of damage in one go, but require charging up for a few seconds before they can actually fire. They’re fairly good at all types of Splatoon 2 online game modes, dealing out solid damage and able to cover vast areas fairly quickly. 
  • Heavy Splatling Remix - Refurbished Mini Splatling - Heavy Splatling Deco 
  • Zink Mini Splatling - Custom Hydra Splatling 
  • Hydra Splatling - Mini Splatling 
  • Heavy Splatling

Best Sloshers in Splatoon 2

We could have bundled in the Sloshers with the Rollers and Brushes category of Splatoon 2 weapons, as all three weapon types can cover a lot of ground quickly, making them ideal for Turf War. What sets Sloshers apart from the others is that they deal increased damage, meaning they can also be used for Ranked battles as well. 
  • Slosher Deco - Soda Slosher 
  • Sloshing Machine Neo - Tri-Slosher 
  • Sloshing Machine - Slosher
