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. Upon activation, the player can aim the speakers at enemies by simpliy looking in their general direction. The speakers fire automatically in pairs of two in fixed time intervalls, even if no enemy is being targeted, in which case the speakers will shoot of the view direction of the player. The beams will follow the enemy, until either the end of the duration, or until the enemy dies. Upon enemy death, the pair of beams will either diverge into random directions or continue moving together in a direction at constant speed.
Most statistical information, such as duration and base damage, are currently unknown. The Killer Wail 5.1 is also confirmed to appear in Salmon Run Next Wave[1]. Similar to the Sting Ray, it can defeat a Flyfish without the use of Splat Bombs. [1]

Trivia
- The Killer Wail 5.1 appears to be a modified version of the original Killer Wail from Splatoon.[2]
- 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.
