Sploosh-o-matic

The Sploosh-o-matic is a Main Weapon that was released as free DLC on July 7, 2015 at.

Description
This weapon is a fast-firing, low-accuracy shooter. It has a steampunk-style look, similar to its cousin, the Splash-o-matic. Due to its high attack power, it excels in short range combat. It comes in a set with Squid Beakons and the Killer Wail.

"The perfect weapon for getting up close and personal! High attack power and rate of fire, but its range is extremely limited."

- In-game description

"It’s range is super short, but it gobbles up foes in close-quarters combat. Take them by surprise and there’s no escape! The Squid Beakon subs will help you get in there, and the Killer Wail special will let you wreck shop once you do."

- Live from the Squid Research Lab

Competitive Viability
The poor Sploosh is sadly a hard weapon to use. The primary reason for this is because of the pathetic range. Watching an opponent Sploosh's shots fall out and not come close to you just feels bad. However, if one can get in close enough (which is really close), that's when a Sploosh can shine. Unfortunately, the kit for the Sploosh makes it so the Sploosh has to stay back if it wants to help the team. The Squid Beakon sub and Killer Wail special do absolutely nothing to help the Sploosh get in, in fact they both do the opposite. It's a support kit on a weapon that isn't designed for support, and it makes it hard for the Sploosh to be any better than the other Splooshes, especially the Neo Sploosh-o-matic. Not a good weapon for competitive play.

The Ninja Squid ability conceals any sign of swimming in ink on horizontal surfaces, allowing the users of shooters with shorter range to advance and ambush foes without being detected.

The Cold Blooded ability will reduce the amount of time the player is tracked by Echolocator and point sensors by 25%. This can help the player stay hidden while ambushing foes.

The Sploosh-o-Matic comes with squid beakons as it's sub weapon. Quick Super Jump will reduce the amount times it takes to super jump to a beakon, allowing the player to get back into position quickly.

The Quick Respawn ability shortens the player's respawn time after being splatted. As a short range shooter, the Sploosh-o-Matic will sometimes result in the player being splatted at the same time they splat the enemy. Quick Respawn also helps support a more aggressive playstyle.
