Nintendo’s gradually been going over some returning Splatoon 3 weapons, and the latest to show up are the blasters. These are the weapons that are designed to blast opposing players with ink. In particular, two were shown off this time. People can see how the Luna Blaster and Range Blaster will look this time.
First, here’s the Luna Blaster. It’s appeared in the series since the original Splatoon in both standard and Neo forms. A Kensa version also showed up in the sequel. It fires slightly faster than the Range Blaster.
Next is the Luna Blaster. With a rapid fire rate and explosive ink coverage, it’s great for close combat. And it's see-through! We hear the new design is so hot that it’s hard to find at stores. Our intern assures us that she didn’t walk straight past it. But it IS see-through… pic.twitter.com/Ur8wz0chbe

The next Splatoon 3 blaster is the Range Blaster. It showed up as a weapon in both of the original games too. It is the slower of the two weapons, but works at a greater range than the Luna Blaster.
In the meantime, let's look at the Range Blaster. This is a powerful weapon that can fully coat an opponent in ink from any range…but it fires…so…so…painfully…slowly. Huh. You'd think the flames would make it fast! Maybe they should try painting it red… pic.twitter.com/AQr2M7UFrD

Nintendo already established that all basic weapons from the first two entries will show up in Splatoon 3. It then went over some of the chargers, rollers, sloshers, and splatlings will be back.
Splatoon 3 will come to the Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2022.
