The Killer Wail 5.1 is an upcoming special weapon in Splatoon 3.
Appearance
The Killer Wail 5.1 consists of six floating speakers, in contrast to the Killer Wail's singular megaphone. Each floating speaker can fire a laser beam for a total of six laser beams. The back of each speaker bears a strong resemblance to the Suction Bomb.
Splatoon 3
Description
When activated, six speakers spawn in a ring formation which briefly follows the user. The speakers then fire wall-piercing beams, similar to the Sting Ray and the original Killer Wail. The speakers do not start firing at the same time and tend to target slowly towards the user's opponents autonomously. Brief trailer appearances show lasers start firing in pairs, from top to bottom, in quick succession.[1][2] Each pair of lasers can initiate at different angles suggesting multiple opponents can be simultaneously targeted, however all six lasers can target one opponent. The mechanism behind this is currently unknown.
Most statistical information, such as duration and base damage, are currently unknown. As of the Release Date Revealed, it is part of the Range Blaster, Sloshing Machine, .52 Gal, and Tri-Stringer's set.
The Killer Wail 5.1 is also confirmed to appear in Salmon Run Next Wave. Similar to the Sting Ray, it can defeat a Flyfish without the use of Splat Bombs.

Trivia
- The Killer Wail 5.1 appears to be a modified version of the original Killer Wail from Splatoon.[3]
- The number refers to the 5.1 surround sound audio system, commonly used in home theatres.
- 5.1 capable audio systems consist of five relatively similar full spectrum speakers, as well as an additional low frequency speaker. Despite this, the Killer Wail 5.1's six speakers all appear to be identical.
Etymology
"Killer Wail 5.1" is a combination of "killer whale", "wail", and 5.1 surround sound system. "Wail" references its method of splatting opponents, while 5.1 (the most common format for surround sound systems) references its plural speakers. Notably, both Wii U and Nintendo Switch support 5.1 output.
