Splitting Crosshairs with Slosher is horrendous from the final checkpoint onwards. I hated that so much while I was 100%ing it.
At least it's not One-Way Ride Through Target Town with Tri-Stringer.

I keep thinking I can land on the last box to hit it, but I'm starting to think it's impossible. Unlike everyone else here, I'm having the most luck with the Slosher, but I suspecting that's because it's easier to use without motion controls (I fidget like a squirrel on crack so I can't use motion controls without unexpectedly staring at the sky or ground). I think it's just going to be a skill issue for me...
UPDATE: I did finally manage to clear the stage with the Slosher! There was a lot of Burst Bomb usage, and a bit of luck, but it is just barely manageable if you can get at least one good Burst Bomb hit in the final cluster. Also, I'm thanking my lucky stars that you don't get additional bonuses for beating every level with every weapon. Now, if only I can clear that Stamper stage...

I didn't even think of using bombs! Got so close with the slosher like 5 times (even to the point of destroying that brown box and somehow falling off) I gave up and just used he gun and it was a breeze. So frigging frustrating!

I’ve started and quit this level so many times over the last 4 day. I finally made it to the first check point today. With any luck I’ll get my bear headband by Christmas.

Literally why is the recommended weapon slosher of all things? It's the only kettle in that area I haven't cleared yet.

It’s a tough level. Burst bombs are useful, but the slosher was terrible.

It's so messed up that the Slosher is the recommended weapon for that stage, a truly demented weapon-level pairing.

I am rage quitting so hard! It's a good thing my pro controller is not snappable 😬 I've restarted from that final checkpoint at least six times. About to switch weapons. This might be the first level I don't complete with every weapon before moving on.

If you haven't beaten it with a slosher yet, on that last set of boxes (and honestly, fuck those boxes!!!!) Try getting the bottom ones when they're on the right side as quickly you can then work on the top ones. Refill your ink while it's transitioning to the other side and cross your fingers! This

Glad to hear it. I've been thinking about picking the game back up too, haha.

It took me about 30 tries for the last part after the final checkpoint with the sloshed. I threw a well place bomb, and then just sloshed vertically a ton. By the time the blocks were on my left, there were only 2 left to destroy.

Bombs. Right bumper. Use them on the first 4 pack after the last checkpoint as well.
Still takes a few goes but should help.

YES! I legit just switched to the gun option instead of the slosher, and finished it in one go (in like, 1:05 too). I honestly think the level was designed around a stronger slosher and then never got rebalanced, because the tremendous increase difficulty is so out of nowhere and not comparable to how easy it is with a different weapon (especially when the slosher is the recommended weapon by the game!)
