Main article: Heavy Edit Splatling#Appearance

The Heavy Edit Splatling Nouveau is broadly similar to its base weapon in appearance.

Data

• The Heavy Edit Splatling Nouveau is a middleweight weapon.
• The matchmaking range is 17. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
• The full charge ink consumption is 20% per shot, allowing the user to fully charge 5 times on a full ink tank.
  • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
• The Heavy Edit Splatling Nouveau cannot store its charge.
• It takes 60 frames to charge the first circle (1 seconds) and 120 frames to fully charge (2 seconds).
  • When airborne or low on ink, it takes 180 frames to charge the first circle (3 seconds) and 360 frames to fully charge (6 seconds).
• The Heavy Edit Splatling Nouveau is not rechargeable while firing.
• When charged to the first circle, the weapon will fire for 120 frames (2 seconds). When charged to the second circle, the weapon will fire for 240 frames (4 seconds). When fully charged, the weapon will fire for 180 frames (3 seconds).
  • The firing duration is 2 times longer than the charging duration when charged to the first circle, 2 times longer when charged to the second circle, and 1.5 times longer when fully charged.
• When releasing a partial charge, it shoots a bullet every 4 frames (15 shots per second). When releasing a full charge, it shoots a bullet every 3 frames (20 shots per second).
• When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.086 units per frame.
  • When charging, the player's movement speed is set to 0.072 units per frame.
• After firing, there is a 40 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
• Each shot has a base damage of 26, regardless of charge level.
• If a shot is in the air for more than 11 frames after being fired, it loses damage every frame until it reaches 13 damage at frame 19.
• The bullet hitbox for collisions with players has a radius of 0.2 units.
• The bullet hitbox for collisions with the environment has a radius of 0.2 units.
• The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 3.0 degrees.
• The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 6.0 degrees.
• The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
• The Heavy Edit Splatling Nouveau starts off having a 10% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
  • This chance increases by 2% per shot, and maximizes at a 30% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 10 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
• When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 30%.
• Accuracy starts recovering 4 frames after the player stops shooting. The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 1% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum, meaning that it takes 24 frames to reach maximum accuracy.
• Initial shot velocity scales with charge level. At minimum charge, it is 1.05 units per frame, and at once charge circle or more, it is 1.8 units per frame. Shots travel straight for 8 frames, regardless of charge level.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 1.105 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and it loses 36% of its speed every frame (including the first frame after it stops traveling straight). Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
• Effective range scales from 9.78 units to 15.85 units, depending on charge level.
  • This number may vary at different firing angles.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Heavy Edit Splatling Nouveau has the same specs as the original, but this model offers the user a very different game plan! It comes with the Splat Bomb sub weapon, which is always useful for clearing out foes behind walls or on high perches. For anywhere bombs can't reach, there's the Crab Tank to rain down shots and cannon fire! This set comes with an answer to all kinds of situations. Learn its quirks, and it's your ticket to becoming one of the elite!

“

The Heavy Edit Splatling Nouveau puts a twist on the Heavy Edit Splatling to encourage some new tactics. Its Splat Bomb sub weapon and Crab Tank special weapon allow for more stable and better-rounded strategies to shine.
