On average, a player will likely be able to use their special weapon around five or six times, and even in a game mode with a longer duration, you could probably only use it ten times at most. However, on social media there is a report of a player who has used the weapons 87 times in a single match. Even someone who has never played <em>Splatoon 3<\/em> would easily recognize that there\u2019s something off here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/tekkin_Splatoon\/status\/1573007335777505280\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>Stop spamming missiles!<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Most of the player reports detail apparent cheaters who are using the Tenta Missiles special weapon, which fires missiles that lock onto opponents. As the missiles rain down on an area surrounding the targeted player, there is no choice but to flee, and even if the missiles are successfully evaded, they will still ink the turf where they fall. The Tenta Missiles are regarded among the most powerful special weapons in <em>Splatoon 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter user @tekkin_Splatoon used the game\u2019s replay function to confirm what was happening from the viewpoint of the cheating player. As this player fires the Tenta Missiles, their special gauge only decreases a small amount before immediately jumping back to full. Similar findings have also been posted by other players. Some have also witnessed a cheater using the Reefslider in a similarly infinite manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30b9\u30d7\u30e93\u3067\u521d\u3081\u3066\u30c1\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc\u3068\u30de\u30c3\u30c1\u30f3\u30b0\u3057\u305f\u308f<br>\u3053\u306e\u30de\u30eb\u30df\u30b5\u91cf\u3084\u3070\u3059\u304e\u308b\u3063\u3066<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B33?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30b9\u30d7\u30e9\u30c8\u30a5\u30fc\u30f33<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Splatoon3?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Splatoon3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lhidyRue0A\">pic.twitter.com\/lhidyRue0A<\/a><\/p>&mdash; M\uff7b\uff67\uff9d@\u6bce\u65e5\u5065\u5eb7\u751f\u6d3b (@m_Xmas2000) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/m_Xmas2000\/status\/1572998815577440256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 22, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>I was matched up against a cheater for the first time in Splatoon 3.<br>The amount of Tenta Missile shots was ridiculous.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u7121\u9650\u30b9\u30da\u30b7\u30e3\u30eb\u30c1\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc\u306f\u8349 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Tczd4E7l1P\">pic.twitter.com\/Tczd4E7l1P<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u7d05\u3057\u3087\u3046\u304c (@asasasa98765) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/asasasa98765\/status\/1573094379526705152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 22, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>These infinite special weapon cheaters are absurd.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Cheaters were a regular sighting in <em>Splatoon 2<\/em> as well.
