The Octo Shot Replica, known in Splatoon as the Octoshot Replica, is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Appearance
The Octo Shot Replica bears resemblance to the original design of the Splattershot. The main parts of the gun are a black body with two handholds and a trigger, and an ink tank that changes color to match the user's ink. The ink tank is connected to the body via a metal tube at the back and a black strip wrapping around the top of the tank. On the end of the body is a gray nozzle.

Splatoon

It cannot be purchased and only obtained as an award from Judd for reaching Level 40. The Octoshot Replica's stats, sub weapon, and special weapon are identical to those of the Tentatek Splattershot. It generally has middling stats with no particular strengths or weaknesses. It comes with Suction Bombs and the Inkzooka. It was introduced in Version with the addition of Judd's rewards.
