Splatoon 3
The Snipewriter 5H has a currently unknown sub weapon and the Tacticooler for its set. When is held, up to five charges of hardened ink are stored, which can be released in rapid succession by releasing the button. Each shot's power is low, making it more suited for suppression and support roles. It will be added along with Chill Season 2022 on 1 December 2022.

Etymology
The weapon's name is a portmanteau composed of the words "snipe" (as in "sniper") and "writer" (one who may use a pencil). It is also a play on the word "typewriter". "5H" refers to pencil grading, signifying a very hard graphite, and also is likely short for "5 hits", the number of shots the weapon can store.
