Aiming the gun at the wall, the ink bounces off of it on a few different surfaces, setting up a few lines of paint in the middle of the air. And if an opponent walks through one of these lines, they&#8217;re marked and then they take damage.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Angle Shooter is as direct as they come. This new sub-weapon shoots a straight line into the distance that bounces off surfaces. Enemies who touch the line are marked and take damage, helping you pin them down to splat with your main weapon! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Splatoon3?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Splatoon3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PZxrBKyi6e\">pic.twitter.com\/PZxrBKyi6e<\/a><\/span>\u2014 Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NintendoUK\/status\/1526129031032229888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 16, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It looks a little bit like a marker pen, and in Japan, the weapon is even called the Line Marker \u2014 which is a perfect pen pun!
