The Hero Charger is not available during regular Octo Valley but can be used at the amiibo stand in Inkopolis Plaza with an Inkling Girl amiibo. When using this amiibo, the player is given the chance to go through some of the previous Octo Valley levels that they have beaten and replay them using a Charger rather than a Shooter.

Visually, it is based off of the Hero Charger found in Octo Valley, but stats-wise it is identical to the Splat Charger.
When the blueprints are obtained and given to Sheldon in Ammo Knights, he will give the player the Replica as he cannot copy the technology shown on the blueprints. It therefore loses the special designed Agent 3 Splat Bombs. Even though it looks like the Hero Charger, it has the same stats and weapon set of the Splat Charger.
The Hero Charger looks slightly similar to the real life M16 Rifle, an iconic weapon and the standard service rifle for many armies in the world; however, the M16 is an assault rifle rather than a sniper rifle.
The Hero Charger Replica comes with the sub Splat Bomb and the special Bomb Rush.
Unlock
To unlock the Hero Charger Replica, the player must play the last set of missions from the Inkling Girl amiibo:
- 23. Spongy Observatory
- 25. Far-Flung Flooders
- 27. Unavoidable Flying Object
- Boss 5: Enter the Octobot King!
The blueprints to the Hero Charger Replica are received after completing the fifth boss challenge.

Trivia
- Marie's main weapon is shown to be the Hero Charger or its
Replica, likely from her time in the role of Agent 2. This is shown in her artwork for the Go all out! vs. Focus on healing Splatfest.
