Heavy Splatling
The Heavy Splatling is a Main Weapon in Splatoon, made available in the 2.0.0 August Update.
Description
The Heavy Splatling appears to be a powerful weapon, capable of firing many small blasts of ink at once with damage equivalent to the Dual Squelcher, high range (about that of a Jet Squelcher), and a fast rate of fire. The sub is a Splash Wall and special is an Inkstrike.
“ | Charge it up and let 'em have it with all six barrels! A maximum charge will unleash the full rapid-fire potential of this weapon. | ” |
— In-Game Description
|
“ | This baby packs six barrels full of ink. Charge it up and let your enemies have it! Need some cover? Not a problem. Throw down your Splash Wall! This bad boy also comes with the Inkzooka Inkstrike (Sorry squidfriends, I am too excited to read properly) as a special weapon. It might just be the best weapon for squids that have watched too many 80′s action movies! | ” |
Sheldon's Introduction
The Heavy Splatling is kind of similar to a charger, but it belongs to a whole new weapon class! Hold to pressurize the ink, and then release it to splatterize your foes like DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!! But it uses a lot of ink and takes a while to charge, so this weapon can leave you exposed. Using the Splash Wall to impede your foes before unleashing an Inkstrike can be rather effective! (NA)[a] |
