Upcoming weapon sets
Note: There are several new brands for these upcoming weapons.
| Main Weapon | Sub Weapon | Special Weapon | Sheldon's Description | Weapon Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sploosh-o-matic | Squid Beakon | Killer Wail | With its wide muzzle, the Sploosh-o-matic is specialized for close-combat situations. Beat back the enemy while placing Squid Beakons on their turf, and then mop up with the deadly Killer Wail! This weapon set excels at opening holes in the opponents' defenses for your teammates to exploit. | File:Wst shot short00.png |
| Neo Sploosh-o-matic | Point Sensor | Kraken | The Neo Sploosh-o-matic is a custom Sploosh-o-matic emblazoned with an original emblem. Mark your opponents with the Point Sensor, and then crush them with the power of the Kraken! Getting in close is vital for this setup, so it is suited to battlers who excel at flanking their foes. | File:Wst shot short01.png |
| Neo Splash-o-matic | Burst Bomb | Inkzooka | The Neo Splash-o-matic has the same capabilities as the original set, but with new sub and special weapons. Hit your opponent with Burst Bombs, and then give them a taste of precision shooting! With the Inkzooka too, this is a set for an aggressive sharpshooter who's not afraid to get messy! | File:Wst shot precision01.png |
| N-ZAP '89 | Sprinkler | Inkstrike | Ah yes, the N-ZAP '89. This is quite simply an N-ZAP '85 that was redesigned for... legal reasons. It includes a Sprinkler to rapidly increase your turf, allowing you to fire off remarkably fast Inkstrikes! This set is excellent at striking where the foe least expects it. Good for lone wolves! | File:Wst shot quickmiddle01.png |
| Custom Dual Squelcher | Squid Beakon | Killer Wail | The Custom Dual Squelcher is exactly what it sounds like—a Dual Squelcher with a custom look! What's new is the Squid Beakon, letting you lead your team, and the Killer Wail to pressure your foes! I'd say it's perfect for master tacticians who can keep track of the entire field of battle. | File:Wst shot quicklong01.png |
| Luna Blaster | Ink Mine | Inkzooka | The Luna Blaster is a specialized shooter that can unleash explosive power at close range! Its rate of fire is good, and its blasts cover a wide area, but you'll need the Inkzooka to hit far-off foes. Oh, and the Ink Mines can really make a difference in the right hands, so this set is perfect for veterans! | File:Wst shot expshort00.png |
| Luna Blaster Neo | Splat Bomb | Bomb Rush | The Luna Blaster Neo is a remodeled Luna Blaster made with original parts. The Splat Bombs and Bomb Rush ensure that you'll cause a riot of inksplosions wherever you go! This is definitely a set for those who prefer to throw caution to the wind and charge into the fray! | File:Wst shot expshort01.png |
| Range Blaster | Splash Wall | Inkstrike | As the name suggests, the Range Blaster is a Blaster with shots that travel farther before exploding. Its fire rate is reduced, but the combination of explosive power and range can be positively deadly! Complemented by the Splash Wall and Inkstrike, it's perfect for distance fighters! | File:Wst shot explong00.png |
| Custom Range Blaster | Splat Bomb | Kraken | The Custom Range Blaster is, as you might expect, a Range Blaster with a slick customized appearance. It has the same stats but comes with Splat Bombs to compensate for its lack of efficacy at close range. Coupled with the powerful Kraken, this set should prove popular with blaster virtuosos! | File:Wst shot explong01.png |
| Rapid Blaster Pro | Seeker | Inkzooka | The Rapid Blaster Pro is based on the Rapid Blaster, but it's further specialized for increased range. Follow your Seekers to zip into an advantageous position and strike from your opponent's blind spot! The Inkzooka makes this a great set for frontline fighters who like to cause big problems for their foes! | File:Wst shot explightlong00.png |
| Rapid Blaster Pro Deco | Disruptor | Killer Wail | The Rapid Blaster Pro Deco may be a bit of a mouthful, but it's worth it for that snazzy decoration! Its stats match the Rapid Blaster Pro's, but it includes Disruptors to weaken your foes before you splat them! Oh, and your Killer Wail can restrict them even more! Give this set a try if that's your sort of thing. | File:Wst shot explightlong01.png |
| L-3 Nozzlenose D | Burst Bomb | Kraken | The L-3 Nozzlenose D is a standard L-3 Nozzlenose, decorated with badges from its manufacturer. Its stats are unchanged, but this set includes Burst Bombs and the Kraken—an aggressive combination! Attack with a Burst Bomb, and then finish them with your shooter. It's an easy set to get the hang of! | File:Wst shot triplequick01.png |
| H-3 Nozzlenose | Suction Bomb | Echolocator | The H-3 Nozzlenose is a semiautomatic with more firepower than its L-3 twin. The H stands for "heavy"! It can't fire as rapidly, but you can pinpoint foes with the Echolocator to make every shot count! Suction Bombs can also make an effective defense, so this set is a good choice for well-rounded fighters! | File:Wst shot triplemiddle00.png |
| H-3 Nozzlenose D | Point Sensor | Inkzooka | The H-3 Nozzlenose D is an H-3 Nozzlenose decorated with added badges from the manufacturer. The badges don't actually affect its abilities, but it does include a Point Sensor and the mighty Inkzooka. In the right hands, this interesting combination of abilities may give rise to many unique strategies! | File:Wst shot triplemiddle01.png |
| Carbon Roller | Burst Bomb | Inkzooka | The Carbon Roller is a lightweight roller built with low-density parts for increased handling! Soften up the foe with Burst Bombs while you ink the ground and prepare to unleash the Inkzooka! Want to use a roller but don't like feeling weighed down? Now you can have your cake and eat it too! | File:Wst roller compact00.png |
| Carbon Roller Deco | Seeker | Bomb Rush | The Carbon Roller Deco is a Carbon Roller specially decorated by top designers. It can be hard inking a path quickly with a roller, but Seekers and Bomb Rush can help you to do just that! Now you can approach foes quickly and swing your roller in their face! Perfect for hit-and-run tactics! | File:Wst roller compact01.png |
| Inkbrush Nouveau | Ink Mine | Bubbler | The Inkbrush Nouveau has the same abilities as the Inkbrush, but it comes with quite a different setup! You can use the brush to swiftly lay Ink Mines. Your opponents won't know what hit 'em! And since you can share the Bubbler with your allies, this is a great set if you like to support your team! | File:Wst roller brushmini01.png |
| Octobrush | Squid Beakon | Kraken | The Octobrush is a brush with denser bristles that fling even more ink with each swipe! Use that mobility to scatter Squid Beakons everywhere, giving your whole team free rein of the battlefield! No need to hesitate—you can always use the Kraken to run away in a pinch. Your team will love you! | File:Wst roller brushnormal00.png |
| Octobrush Nouveau | Splat Bomb | Inkzooka | The Octobrush Nouveau matches the Octobrush in stats but features an all-new sub and special setup! More specifically, it comes with the versatile Splat Bomb and Inkzooka for maximum ease of use. Brushes are a fun weapon type to use, so I'd use this set to get the hang of using brushes. | File:Wst roller brushnormal01.png |
