How you cover the ground in your team’s color ink in Splatoon 3 is primarily based on the weapon you decide to use. Each weapon behaves and performs differently, so finding the one that suits your style is your best plan. Since all weapons act differently, making a tier list can be challenging to adhere to everyone. That being said, we have our personal favorites that should serve you well. Here are the best weapons in Splatoon 3.
