The Disruptor is a Sub Weapon in Splatoon.
Description
Splatoon Disruptor Sub Weapon Squid Science
Splatoon Disruptor Comparison
Disruptors will not deal damage, but instead will lower the running speed, swimming speed, and ink recovery speed of a rival squid.
Tips
- Throw it onto unsuspecting Inklings to make them easier to hit and make it harder for them to react.
- The Disruptor can be used as an escape tool. Throw it at the fastest enemy and proceed to get away in Squid Form.
- Use it to slow down fast targets such as the Inkbrush, a weapon known for its lightweight and speedy maneuvers.
- Under normal circumstances it takes 50% of your ink tank. This means if you start with a full tank and throw two in a row, you will not be able to fire any shots afterwards.
- The debuff, or decrease in status attributes, it causes on its target lasts for approximately 5.15 seconds.
- This does not stack
Countering
- Keep an eye out for Disruptors flying towards you and use Squid Form to dodge it.
- If you see an ally getting disrupted, splat the Disruptor user before they splat your allies.
