The weapon reappears in Splatoon 2 and has a new design. It has a purple stripe design that wraps around the barrel, a dark blue/purple grip and a dark green muzzle. The barrel is now part of the gun body, instead of on top, and the muzzle now comes out of the barrel. There is a cap where the tube connecting the barrel to the gun used to be, reminiscent of the caps used to refill a water gun full of water in real life. It had the Tenta Missiles as its special weapon in the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire demo, but in the final game it has the Splashdown.

Trivia
- The Hero Shot, a modified version of the Splattershot, is the default weapon in Octo Valley and the Inkling Squid amiibo challenges as well as one of the nine hero weapons in Octo Canyon. However, it cannot be used anywhere else.
- The Splattershot was the first playable main weapon, available in the E3 2014 Splatoon demo. At that time it was called the "Ink Shot".[2]
- Furthermore, its sub and special weapons were Splat Bombs and the Inkzooka. No weapon in the Splattershot series has this combination, with the Tentatek Splattershot and Wasabi Splattershot using the beta special and sub weapons respectively. This combination later appeared on the Octobrush Nouveau, Soda Slosher, and Sploosh-o-matic 7.
- It was also the first main weapon to be revealed to the public in the history of the Splatoon series.
- In Splatoon and Splatoon 2, the Splattershot has the most variants out of all main weapons, with a total of five in both games.
- In Splatoon 2, the Splattershot's model from the first game can still be seen when using the original Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy amiibo.
- According to the Splatoon 2 Switch event demo and Splatoon 2 Global Testfire, the Splattershot was originally going to have the Tenta Missiles. The final game changed its special to the Splashdown. The sub weapon remained as Burst Bombs. The beta combination was given to the Splat Dualies, Hero Dualie Replicas, Mini Splatling, and Grim Range Blaster.
- The Tenta Missiles would, however, find their way onto the Splattershot in the form of the Kensa Splattershot.
- In the Splatoon manga bonus chapter "Splattershot Jr.", the character Splattershot Jr. wins a Golden Splattershot with the help of Team Blue.
- The Splattershot is used in the following Octo Expansion levels:
- Far-Out Station
- Fake Plastic Station
- Righteous Rails Station
- Grab & Go Station
- Pop Rock Station
- Shrinky Ink Station
- Bust 'n' Move Station
- Girl Power Station (Canned)
- Popalicious Station
- Bring It Station
