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).

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.
