The Dark Tetra Dualies are a main weapon in Splatoon 2. They were announced on 11 February 2018 at 14:00 UTC[1] and released on 2 March 2018 at 02:00 UTC.[2]
Each pistol has two muzzles and four dodge roll nozzles, which allows the user to perform up to four dodge rolls in a row. The dodge rolls are however somewhat slower than the regular Splat Dualies and it takes longer to start rolling and moving normally again. This weapon set also allows the user to continue shooting while rolling.
Players must land four hits to splat an opponent, doing the same damage as the Splat Dualies but having worse accuracy pre-roll. Dodge roll ink consumption is lower than all other dualies, complementing the weapon's ability to roll four times in quick succession. In the post-roll state, the weapon's firing rate and accuracy are improved.

- The Tetra is also a species of freshwater fish.
- Although they have collaborated with "Splat" to create the Tentatek Splattershot, the Dark Tetra Dualies are the first weapons to be fully produced by Tentatek.

- This fits the Tentatek brand, which specializes in sports clothing.
- The announcement and release of this weapon set was at the same time as Goby Arena, and both its promo images are shot in it. This ties in to the basketball theme for the Dark Tetra Dualies as well.
