It&#8217;s a lightweight charger that charges so quickly we hesitate to even call it a charger! (But to be technically correct, we will continue to do so.) It doesn&#8217;t have great range, but rewards a dynamic play style with plenty of stop-and-pop action. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QfqYfGPvQM\">pic.twitter.com\/QfqYfGPvQM<\/a><\/span>\u2014 Splatoon North America (@SplatoonNA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SplatoonNA\/status\/1523651053702422530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 9, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p><\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is the Splat Charger, a balanced weapon with good range and medium charge time.
