Undercover Brella

The Undercover Brella is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.

The Undercover Brella is a brella that can be fired in rapid succession while its semi-transparent shield is open. The shield will open after the first shot fires if the user is holding down the trigger. The shield cannot be launched, and has the lowest durability in its class.

Each shot consumes 4% of the ink tank capacity, allowing users to fire 25 shots before needing to refill. Each shot contains several ink bullets that deal between 9 and 12 damage each, and up to 40 damage will be dealt per shot if most ink bullets hit the opponent. Three well-aimed shots are needed to splat opponents with the Undercover Brella. Opponents who touch the shield will take 15 damage, which is half the damage taken from touching the shield of a Splat Brella or Tenta Brella.

Appearance
The Undercover Brella looks like an ordinary black umbrella. The handle is striped in multiple shades of brown, and the main shaft changes color to match the user's ink. The shield is black and semi-transparent with black beads and a brown-and-gold muzzle on top.

Splatoon 3
The Undercover Brella returns in Splatoon 3 and has nearly identical stats to Splatoon 2, with the only difference being its special point requirement raising from 150p to 180p. Its kit now has Ink Mines and the Reefslider.

It appears in only one mission in Alterna:
 * Splat You on the Flip Side

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

Trivia

 * The Undercover Brella resembles the umbrella seen in the Kingsman: The Secret Service movie, that can shoot and protect, indicated by its name.
 * The Undercover Brella functions similarly to an Automatic Shotgun.
 * Prior to Version, Undercover Brella had the potential to deal 7 damage which was the lowest possible damage output in the game.
 * As of patch 4.1.0, the Undercover Brella is tied with the Inkbrush for the lowest base special cost, at 150p in Splatoon 2.
 * Unlike the other Brellas, the Undercover Brella does not consume more ink while being held open than if it stays closed.

 * This weapon has the lowest possible DPS in Splatoon 2, at 45 damage per second.
 * In the September 23rd Direct, the Undercover Brella was seen not taking damage from the Splat Roller’s attacks. This was possibly because the visual effects had not been added yet.
