The Ballpoint Splatling (クーゲルシュライバー(JP)[a]) is an upcoming Main weapon in Splatoon 2. It is a Splatling that changes its rate of fire and range drastically between a single charge and double charge.[1] It is scheduled to be released in the July 2018 content update.[2]
Like other Splatlings, when fully charged, the charge indicator will complete two circles. While the brighter circle is being depleted, the weapon will have a high fire rate, short range, and low accuracy. After the first circle is depleted, the weapon stabilizes and the shots for the duration of the second circle will have double range, very high accuracy, and a slightly lower rate of fire. If is pressed before the aiming reticle returns to its original state, the weapon will charge and fire with the longer-range, higher-accuracy firing mode.
Splatoon 2
