  • Shots have a radius of 2 units.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 3 degrees.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 12 degrees.
  • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. The outer reticle will finish shrinking after 60 frames.
  • The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle increases by 10% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle.
    • This means that it takes 3 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
  • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
  • Accuracy starts recovering 8 frames after the player stops shooting.
  • Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 26.3 units per frame for 5 frames. Shots travel straight for 131.4750004 distance units.
  • Ink droplets occur every 70 units.
  • The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 3 droplets per shot.
  • There are a total of 8 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
  • Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 19.2 units.
  • Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 18 units.
  • All other ink droplets have a radius of 12.5 units.

The Forge Splattershot Pro is a custom Splattershot Pro weapon set put together by the gear brand Forge! The main weapon functions identically to the Splattershot Pro, but you can keep opponents at arm's length with Suction Bombs! And the Bubble Blower special is the perfect complement to the main weapon's long range! It's not the easiest set to use, but if you master it, you'll be unstoppable!

Sheldon's Introduction

If the Splattershot Pro is for pro Splattershot users, I guess the Forge Splattershot Pro is for pro Splattershot users who also rock Forge-brand gear! It's a mouthful, but when this set is firing on all cylinders, it does the talking for you. The main weapon is functionally identical to the base Splattershot Pro, but a Suction Bomb a day keeps the enemies away! Or, well, as many Suction Bombs as you can muster. And while the Booyah Bomb special might feel like too many bombs, when you get a chance to drop one, you'll realize that there's no such thing as too many bombs! This set isn't necessarily balanced for a beginner, but if you can handle it, few opponents will be able to handle YOU!

Happy Turkey Day! SRL Ballistics again, showing off the Forge Splattershot Pro - a special collab with the brand Forge. This setup lets you control the action with Suction Bombs and Booyah Bombs... and look good doing it! We think Splattershot Pro mains will be especially thankful.

Its Japanese name, プライムシューターコラボ puraimu shūtā korabo, means "Prime Shooter Collab". The abbreviated suffix Collab denotes it is a collaboration. However, unlike the English name, it doesn't specify the brand Forge.
