Weapon brand

Weapon Brands are the names and logos of the makers of weapons. Unlike the Brands for gear, s do not have any influence on abilities.



"Splat"
This brand is most likely the first weapon brand a player encounters in, since this brand is the maker of the Splattershot Jr., the starting weapon.

More than just providing the starting weapon, the "Splat" Brand is generally aimed towards beginners. Most of their weapons are unlocked early and usually have the first weapon available of the different Main Weapon classifications.

The brand has a very unified look, based on water toy guns. The weapons features bright, plastic colours of light green, dark green and red. The exceptions to this aesthetic are the Splattershot Jr. and Splattershot Pro series, but nonetheless have a clear toy gun inspiration like the rest. Another attribute that the "Splat" weapons share is that most of them features the word "Splat" in one way or another. The conjectural name "Splat" has been assumed from this theme.

The "Splat" Brand is known for their collaborations with popular gear brands, such as Tentatek and Forge. The alternate sets of their different weapons consists mainly of these collaborations.

Neo
The Neo brand weapons have a vague futuristic, technological feel to them. The styles of their Main Weapon series differ slightly from each other. Their Splash-o-matic series follows a steampunk aesthetic, meanwhile the Luna Blaster series have a streamlined, raygun gothic style. However, the Sloshing Machine series is more mundane, looking more or less like an ordinary compact portable washing machine.

Outside of their weapon manufacturing, the Neo company are also shown to be a construction company. It has construction sites at various locations in. The stage Hammerhead Bridge is one of them and will be the largest bridge in Inkopolis when completed. However, it is implied by Callie and Marie that the construction has been stalling for quite some time, for unknown reasons. The Tutorial Area also has two apartments under construction, both adorn with two signs with the Neo logo and text. The company also carried out the redesign of Urchin Underpass in August 2015.

The alternate sets of their Main Weapons have the word Neo as a suffix or prefix and are decorated with a sticker of their logo. The Sloshing Machine Neo's in-game description describes this sticker as "sweet".

Nouveau
The Nouveau brand consists of weapons based on brushes and accompanying art supplies. Their weapons are made almost entirely with light materials, such as plastic or wood, with just some metal pieces holding them together or to grip them with.

The alternate sets of their Main Weapons have the suffix Nouveau and are decorated with a white sticker, with red and black text written in Inkling.

Ammo Knights
The Ammo Knights brand features the in-house weapons from Sheldon's weapon shop, Ammo Knights. While Sheldon has modified weapons of other brands to create new weapon sets for his shop, the Ammo Knights brand weapons are solely created from the blueprints of his grandfather, Ammoses Shellendorf.

Both of the Ammo Knights series have a very mechanical look to them and are seemingly made entirely out of metal parts. Each weapon has parts that has been spray-painted in either chrome or gold.

Cuttlegear
Cuttlegear is a small weapon brand, with only one series of two weapons. Their Bamboozlers are modernized versions of the weapons used in the Great Turf War.

Cuttlegear is the only known brand to manufacture both clothing gear and weapons.

The Cuttlegear weapons, like their clothing gear, has a militaristic theme. This can be noted with their naming scheme that is more structured than most of the weapon brands, using version numbers, mark designations and roman numerals.
