Hero Blaster

The Hero Blaster is a blaster in Splatoon 2 that is exclusively used in Octo Canyon.

Description
The Hero Blaster has a design very similar to the Blaster and is usable in Octo Canyon and can be upgraded one level. Like all hero weapons in Splatoon 2, they come with switchable sub weapons of Splat Bombs, Curling Bombs and Autobombs. It is loaned by Sheldon during the level, The Experimentorium, and can be used in missions after beating the level. Beating all missions in Octo Canyon unlocks the Hero Blaster Replica for purchase at Ammo Knights.

Like the vanilla Blaster, the can on the back changes according to the ink color of the wielder, though the barrel and the hoses has a different design. The hoses are black with yellow and red stripes. The barrel is black and has dots that changes according to the level of the Hero Blaster.
 * Lv.1: Has blue lights
 * Lv.2: Has red lights, requires 1500 Power Eggs and 3 Sardinium. Increases fire rate from 0.83 seconds per shot to 0.5 seconds per shot. Reduces ink consumption from 8% shot to 7% per shot, but the increase in fire rate means that more ink will be consumed per second.

Hero Blaster Replica
The Hero Blaster Replica is a reward in Splatoon 2 unlocked for purchase at Ammo Knights by beating all missions with the Hero Blaster. It is a blaster-type main weapon and is visually identical to the Hero Blaster. Despite its unique appearance, it is simply a reskin of the Blaster, sharing the same stats and loadout, Toxic Mist and the Splashdown. It has dots similar to some other hero weapons.
