Hero Shot Replica

The Hero Shot Replica is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. Reskin of the Hero Shot and Splattershot.

Splatoon
The Hero Shot Replica is a reskin of the Hero Shot and Splattershot, with the same stats and loadout. It is only available from the after completing all of its Octo Valley challenges. The Hero Shot Replica is based off of the Hero Shot, the main Shooter only usable in Octo Valley and during the Inkling Squid amiibo challenges. However, when the blueprints are given to Sheldon at Ammo Knights, the player is informed that he cannot recreate the technology used in the original gun, so only a replica could be made. Therefore it loses the 3 switchable sub weapons to just regular Splat bombs (In which the design changes to a regular Splat bomb) and is unable to be upgraded. The replica shares the exact stats as the Splattershot and the same Sub/Special loadout (Burst Bombs and Bomb Rush).

Unlock
To unlock the Hero Shot Replica, the player must play the last set of missions from the Inkling Squid amiibo:


 * 23. Spongy Observatory
 * 24. Pinwheel Power Plant
 * 25. Far-Flung Flooders

Once you finished the last challenge, the Inkling Squid will award the player with cash and the blueprints for the Hero Shot, created by Ammoses Shellendorf, Sheldon's grandfather. Upon entering Ammo Knights, Sheldon will inform the player that although he cannot replicate the original technology, he can recreate it in design.

Data

 * The Hero Shot Replica is a middleweight weapon.
 * When initially firing the weapon in kid form, the first bullet takes 3 frames to come out.
 * When firing from squid form, the first bullet takes 8 frames to come out.
 * When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 6 frames between bullets.
 * When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.72 units per frame.
 * After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before your ink tank starts refilling.
 * If a bullet is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it loses 1.09375 damage per frame until it reaches 17.5 damage at frame 24.
 * Bullets have a radius of 2 units.
 * The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 6 degrees.
 * The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 12 degrees.
 * The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
 * The Hero Shot Replica starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
 * This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle. Meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
 * When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
 * When not shooting, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 0.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum. Meaning that it takes 48 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (78 after shooting while jumping.)
 * Bullets initially travel at a rate of 22 units per frame for 4 frames, having an effective range of 88 units.
 * After that, the bullet's velocity is set to 14.495 units for 2 frames if the bullet's velocity is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
 * This results in a range at approximately 116.99 units if the weapon is shot straight ahead.
 * Paint droplets occur every 92 units.
 * The frequency at which paint drips from a bullet occurs at a rate of 1.5 droplets per shot.
 * There are a total of 6 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
 * Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 18 units, and a width of 12 units.
 * These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
 * Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 16 units.
 * All other paint droplets have a radius of 12.8 units.
 * Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
