Players Say Splatoon 3’s Most-Hated Gun Must Be Removed

Despite being a good mid- to short-range shooter, some players would rather that the Clash Blaster be eliminated from the game.

 

People have probably tried their hands at a range of the varied weapons in Splatoon 3 now that it is fully available on the Nintendo Switch. There are several to explore, ranging from older weaponry like the quick-firing Splattershot Jr. to more modern ones like the quick-slashing Splatana (which has quickly become a fave of mine). Each has its detractors, but the Clash Blaster, a pistol that resembles a pencil sharpener and is usually criticised by players for being annoyingly busted, seems to get the most criticism. And I concur completely. Clash Blaster costs little.

 

Splatoon 3 is a vibrant ink-painting shooter that allows you to level up in either single-player or multiplayer to earn new weapons and clothing. You receive a new weapon to try out after completing each level, but you must still use Sheldon Licenses, a kind of in-game currency, to do so. At level 22, one of the weapons you can obtain is the notorious Clash Blaster. People despise it so much that threatening notes telling people to quit using it have been posted all throughout the hub globe. Now!

 

Why Clash Blaster Is Unique So OP?
The dangerous Clash Blaster. It was designed for usage in mid-to-close range battles in Splatoon 2 and may kill an opponent with two solid body hits or three to four shots around the feet. That makes dealing with it a hassle. Its blast radius is large enough to still impact opponents even if shots miss, in addition to dealing substantial damage. So, if you find yourself within the Clash Blaster’s range, you’re pretty much toast. Really, there is no getting around that.

 

I can vouch for it. I was a blind gamer with terrible accuracy from keratoconus in my eyes, but I still got double digit kills with the Clash Blaster. I didn’t need to have the finest aim to utilise it because it is such an OP weapon. The enemy in front of me is absolutely becoming obscured as long as I can shoot around their general area. Every time I engaged in PvP combat with it, the same thing occurred. It really does slap. Or, I suppose, splats.

 

Why Is Clash Blaster So Abhorred by People?
As previously mentioned, the Clash Blaster is incredibly potent. When employing the gun that resembles a pencil sharpener, you don’t need to be a top-tier player to rise in the multiplayer rankings. And because of this, many people find it intolerable. Reddit or Twitter searches for “Clash Blaster” will bring up a plethora of complaints about the weapon and how unfair it is. Some will claim it’s “still busted as fuck,” while others will wonder why anyone would choose to carry a rifle given how powerful it is and how easily it can wreck both squid boys and girls. For Christ’s sake, the Clash Blaster has been detested since Splatoon 2. Talk about harbouring resentment. You can bet that a Splatoon player will always be moaning about the Clash Blaster even if there isn’t always a Call of Duty game on PlayStation.

 

In fact, Cash Blaster callouts were common even before Splatoon 3’s official subreddit went live on September 9. Several people pleaded with Nintendo to take the Clash Blaster out of the threequel. Some people found the news of the gun’s reappearance to be quite difficult to hear when the corporation announced it. You can always count on someone writing about how the gun that resembles a pencil sharpener ruins the fun of being inky.

 

The Clash Blaster may be a bothersome gun, but it’s not the one I’d call the most obnoxious to face off against. The tremendously quick Inkbrush and Octobrush, as well as the versatile Rollers that may easily flatten you, are some of the other weapons on my hit list. I will, however, admit that the Clash Blaster has its drawbacks, particularly when in the hands of knowledgeable users.

 

Despite not having been available for a full week, Nintendo has had some success with Splatoon 3. In fact, the third-person shooter has outperformed Breath of the Wild and even Pokémon games in popularity, selling over three million copies in just three days in Japan. That’s crazy.
