Appearance
The Splattershot Nova has a more "futuristic" space-themed design than most other Splattershot weapons. It consists of an oversized plastic sports water bottle matching the user's ink color slotted into a black shooter frame, causing it to resemble a ray gun or Super Soaker.

Splatoon 3
The Splattershot Nova has Point Sensors and the Killer Wail 5.1. It has long range comparable to the Splattershot Pro but with a faster fire rate, less accuracy, and weaker damage, making its stats similar to the Dual Squelcher. It is tied with the Aerospray series of weapons for the lowest damage stat of any shooter. It was added along with Chill Season 2022 on 2022-12-01.

Badges
Reaching certain Freshness levels with the Splattershot Nova will reward the player with special badges that they can use on their Splashtag.
