Which is BETTER Scope Charger vs No Scope in Splatoon 3

[@an_yDl]

I think you (and me) might perform better with scoped charger but unscoped E-Litre because: - E-Litre's longer charge time makes the ability to store it more valuable, and the wider view you have without a scope allows you to see more of the potential targets afforded by its longer range - Splatterscope's shorter charge time makes charging less committal, so the reduced awareness isn't as bad maybe

[@Solluna2003]

I’m on the same boat here, out of all the four the Scoped E-liter is the hardest to master because of it’s long charge time, no charge hold, and my lack of patience makes it hard to commit to a spot long enough to make an impact.

[@DuelingSteel]

Same!

Now as a Charger main myself I will say that there is no better Charger when it comes to scope and no-scope. It isn’t something like comparing Splash and Sploosh where as Splash is just a significantly better main weapon. For the Chargers it all just comes down to personal preference and which playstyle you enjoy the most. I myself personally like using Scopes more for their 5% extra range and zoom in. The zoom in helps me hit my shots and I enjoy the playstyle of the weapon being a lot more safer than the Unscoped variant which allows me to stay alive longer for my team. Though I play Scope mainly, I actually used to play Unscoped especially when it came to E-Liter back in Splat 2. I felt that hitting my shots with Unscoped E-Liter was just a lot easier considering how it has a longer charge time and the zoom on the Scope was slower and it kinda threw me off. Also it was really fun to get snipes off of the rail on Moray whenever it was in rotation. So in the end there is no better Charger of the two it’s just a matter of which one fits your playstyle better and which one you feel will allow you to hit your shots better.

[@johnk5896]

The zoom on a scope helps me get in rhythm and land my shots easier

[@LuckyOwI777]

I feel like the closest "objective" opinion is that unscoped E-Liter is better than scoped E-Liter, but everything else is basically down to preference

[@Sanngot]

I don’t know if this would be broken. But I thought it would have been cool if these scoped and un-scoped weapons were merged, and players had the ability to toggle the scope on and off during a match. Same limitations would still apply for each mode. IMO, it would add some depth to the weapons.

[@solvdev]

100% broken 🤣

[@SarcasticShinyZoroark]

I personally play scoped because the zooming in motion helps me time the shots a lot easier, and the first person perspective can help me hit shots that normally would be very hard to hit. It’s useful to also keep moving around the map if you have the confidence because the tunnel vision you get from the scope can be exacerbated by being a statue.

[@ArtAngelMouse]

For me, I find the unscope charger my style. I just like being aggro and moving all over the place, hence why I love weapons like Splat Charger, Squiffer, Goo Tuber and Reef-Lux (which yes, isn't a charger but it can be played pretty aggro). Its the only weapons I really play a bit more aggro compared to my supportive playstyle. I still like E-Liter, I'm still a fan of defensive playstyle. I like making angles for myself and making it hard for the enemy to know where I position.

[@domonthecobb]

Can you make a charger movement, positioning, and aiming tips guide?

[@RachelPlayz_]

As a Charger Main, I highly prefer un-scoped Chargers because of the mobility options and awareness. Being able to see your surroundings when charging makes it a lot easier to stay alive and get kills And I can't use Scope at all anymore 🗿

[@Sweetie.21]

Scoped feels more like a way to ease yourself into it, even if it’s only to see the opponents better when aiming. Scoped allows you to hang back a bit and get a feel for sniping in general. Though I personally do recommend switching to unscoped once you get the hang of it and slowly try to be a bit more bold. For me, the unscoped vision is much better to have because you see more of the map, making someone sneaking up to you easier to notice. When I first started out I tried scoped to get a feel for the weapon and once I did, I immediately switched to unscoped to put what I’ve learned to the test. Also the constant zooming and unzooming of scoped chargers makes me feel a little bit nauseated. But in the end it all comes down to personal preference. I’m a Jack of all trades kind of player, I can play a lot of different weapon styles. I usually prefer front to midline weapons, but I don’t mind playing some mid to backline weapons.

[@MultiEltro]

Dude plays a splat charger like it's a front line weapon and still slays 😎

[@maddyterrell0]

I enjoy playing chargers, although I'm still working on my consistency, but unscoped fits my play style much better. I love being able to hold a charge and be able to move around and see what's going on. Also, my aim suffers when I play scoped. I've tried several times, but I'll be lucky to get just one splat whereas with unscoped I can frequently get 7+ splars in a game of turf wars

[@Angel..L]

I play mainly scoped it helps me focus by blacking out a part of the screen . There are some tricks you can do like canceling your charge by going to squid form. For me I value the extra range a lot more .

[@co.MegaMan]

I have never played a scoped charger in Splatoon 3 before. And I have played for 200 hours at the time I’m making this comment. The reason is because I not the best at chargers and when I played Splatoon 2 I never won while trying a scope. But this video taught me their differences and I’m inspired to try a scope for the first time! Thanks!

[@OctogonalLeonardo]

I don’t play chargers that much, but I like no scope better because I can see somebody trying to sneak up and splat me, then I snipe them, plus I just like the cool shots I can do.

[@jasonso2056]

I really like playing aggressively and moving around when I play Splatoon so I’ve always loved unscoped chargers and what you can do with stored charges. It’s also why I love playing Nautilus as well.

[@Princesspeachfan456]

I’ve decided to learn chargers,and I’m using scope for the first leg of learning,abilities and stuff,and switch when I’m more comfortable.

[@ChunkyNosher]

A scoped Goo Tuber with the charge hold of a normal charger might either be the greatest thing ever or the worst weapon in the game, maybe both.

[@frostybyte04]

So according to Tikotan (top jp charger) Splatterscope > unscoped charger unscoped liter > scoped liter The unscoped liter gets way way more value from the charge keep then the regular splat charger considering its long downtime.

[@KM-wy6yh]

still i agree with this personally but dont go with what pros say cuz thats what is best for them play what u want and what u find better there are still great eliter scope mains and unscoped charger mains

[@frostybyte04]

@@KM-wy6yh your right. its mainly about what you enjoy playing.

[@BapaLCA]

As a sniper main, i also prefer using the scoped version for splattershot, but unscoped for e-liter. The 5% extra range for splattershot feels more important than e-liter, since e-liter is already the weapon with the highest range in the game. Splattershot on its side benefits more of this extra range than e-liter.

[@Scribys11]

I like scope it just feels so clean and smooth

[@cultmecca]

As a charger main I'm proud to have reached a point where I feel equally as comfortable with scoped and unscoped. I can say at this moment I think I prefer Splatterscopes to Splat Chargers but I prefer the unscoped E-Liter over the scoped variant. My reasoning is this. The Splatterscopes are more mobile than the E-Liter and they charge up way faster. That extra 5% range I have found makes it so I can better contest E-Liters if they show up in the lobby much better than if I am using the unscoped Splat Charger. Also, the extra range means I can position more similarly to an E-Liter (My main of mains). The E-Liter however is a lot slower in every aspect. It moves slower and charges slower. I appreciate no scope on E-Liter because when you are in the scope, it limits your situational awareness, you can't see as much. For Splatterscopes I find this less of an issue since the charge time is so quick and I aim before the shot charges up fully, so my limited awareness isn't present for long. This isn't as true with the E-Liter scope, there is more time where I am handicapped. Also because the E-Liter is slower in movement and charge, I think it benefits more from charge holding than Splat Chargers do. If I have to reposition with a Splatterscope, whoop-de-doo, it charges fast. If I have to do it with an E-Liter, thats a 2 second charge time. I need to hold it while I move. So thats it for me, Splatterscopes and unscoped E-Liter

[@sanicboi9187]

I just like seeing my peripherals when fulling charged tbh

[@sebrina7417]

You summed it up perfectly. It feels like one is easily better but they're both so good

[@triks9180]

Epic video. Personally I would use no scope just because of the vast amount of options it has over scoped

[@PersonaSomina]

This really helps me as a charger main

[@silvadic2207]

Personally for me, I go No Scope on Splat Charger, and Scoped on E-Liter. Namely due to their operational ranges. E-Liter is longer ranged, so having the extra zoom to be more accurate is nice. I will say a small tip I do on Scoped Charger is before you scope in, you have more mobility and stealth compared to an Unscoped Charger. Reason: an Unscoped charger will be moving while the charge is stored, or with the laser visible. By taking your time with a scoped charger, you keep the mobility and awareness of Unscoped, with a bonus of stealth since you aren’t charging yet. Patience is key, slow is smooth, smooth is fast!

[@macd-man3787]

Exactly, very fluid and releasing shots becomes a flow

[@AlexSamaras]

I did find that the E-Liter 4k Scope was harder to aim than all of the other chargers. I had to turn my sensitivity from 0 to -1 just to be able to hit things. I think this is due to it being a bit harder to hold steady at its high magnification. Granted, I'm not an experienced charger user; I really only played them all for the first time (outside of Salmon Run) recently when I 1-starred all of my weapons (and saved Chargers for last, because I was dreading them). . For me, charge time was a more important factor than scoped or unscoped, so in the end I found I preferred the Splat Charger / Splatterscope over the E-Liters and was glad to sacrifice the range for the faster charge time. Of course, I still have a long way to go with improving my aim, so part of that is that missing a shot with an E-liter hurts so much more than missing a shot with a Splat Charger. This combined with the scoped E-liter being harder to aim means that when it comes to 4- or 5-starring a charger, for me it's probably going to be the Vanilla Splat Charger and/or Splatterscope.

[@RykerDotJPG]

personally, when it comes to the e-liter i prefer the non-scoped version, when it comes to splatcharger i prefer the scoped version, all for different reasons like faster charge time, range and visibility

I find it impressive that the devs managed to balance these options so well. Too many multiplayer games (including Splatoon 3) have too many things that are overall superior/inferior when they should be balanced. Scope vs. unscoped is a great example of a tradeoff being done right. Also: snipewriter scope when?

[@retroTiko]

i like unscoped splatcharger. i like being more active and mobile. i struggle a bit with hanging back because most other weapons i use have a much shorter range and im usually more at the frontlines instead of hanging back. im just used to being in the middle of things so even when i have a weapon with more range i like the option of doing that and having more mobilty (and the splatbomb. we can not underestimate the importance of the splatbomb) so im able to take a more active role. its high-risk high-reward. when it goes wrong it goes wrong spectacularly and i need to adjust but when it goes right MAN does it feel good lmaoooo (of course this is all just my own personal preference. ive seen plenty of chargers with scope take active roles and totally kick my ass and I'd love to be able to do that too but scope just gives me too much of a tunnel vision)

[@smidge742]

I play both scope and unscope but I’m more into using scope Chargers cause my aim feels more accurate when I play with it and I’m more of a passive charger player than aggressive. when I use scope I use my map more than ever just so I can be more aware of where the enemy team is because of the less vision scope gives to me.

[@Grenze_Splatoon]

I feel unscoped is a little better, because of the movement. Range is nothing if you can close the gap, and you can squid jump to have full height with the charge hold.

[@hellboros2790]

Tbh for splat charger both feel really good to play but for e-liter the scope version feels so hard to play compared to unscope. I cant play the scope e-liter for whatever reason. By far the hardest weapon in the entire game for me.

[@Zezepo]

As someone who mains Splatterscope there are definitely times when I wish I could store the charge, but I can't snipe without a scope of some kind in any game. It's definitely a trade-off of between comfort and utility, but also get the benefit of range to offset the otherwise clear statistical advantage of going scopeless. Also rip my hopes for a scoped Snipewriter, can't play that thing at all :(.

As a charger main, I ask myself these two questions when I'm deciding between scoped and unscoped: Am I going to play aggressively or passively? How does my aim feel today? (This may take a match or two to decide).

Ive been thinking about exploring the charger class outside of my mains. Last time I played scope I didn’t like it so I play unscoped. I prefer the mobility of unscoped chargers and the squiffer. However, some maps I struggle in like Undertow, the extra range seems better to have. Might test some scoped chargers in turf someday for fun, but I’ll always be an unscoped main. It fits my playstyle better.

i prefer the scoped variant. i play safe from my side of the map, defending it from anyone who would try to infiltrate (although i'm a Tri-Stringer main). a scoped Charger may have less awareness and mobility, but the playstyle one must adopt is what balances it out. the extra 5% range is a necessity, given the playstyle. how i played the E-liter 4K (Scope) was find a perch and snipe... what i failed to consider was the location of my perch, which could be reached by anyone. should i pick up the Z+F Splatterscope, i'll have to remember this (when i return. i just got back to Monster Hunter after 2 months or more). if a no-scope Charger got that extra range, mixed with better mobility and greater awarenwss, then the weapon would be OP and unfair.

In my opinion, you paint and put more pressure with scope chargers than unscope chargers because you won't be holding your charge, so you will keep shooting and putting more pressure even if you miss your shots. As if you use an unscope charger, most people just hold their charge for a while, and then miss their shots, when they could have been putting more pressure on the opponents.

[@jerejk1100]

scoped are good as the backline hold and gives your team the signal that your job is to hold the backline. Meanwhile no scoped chargers can be used better to make an entry (if skilled enough lol) and it's better to hold like the tower in tower control. And the downside to scoped chargers are that you can't hold the charge while in swim form. And the goodside is only that you can tell easier when the charge is full and have an better vision from long range So imo the better charger for my playstyle would be the normal charges.
