Ballpoint Splatling
The Ballpoint Splatling (クーゲルシュライバー(JP)[a]) is an upcoming Main weapon in Splatoon 2. It is a Splatling that changes its rate of fire and range drastically between a single charge and double charge.[1] It is scheduled to be released in the July 2018 content update.[2]
This Splatling works different from other Splatlings. It doesn’t have consistent range if you are firing in short bursts. There are two stages of firing with this weapon. The first stage only requires the charge of half a ring. This stage has the range equivalent to the Splattershot Jr and fires slightly faster compared to other Splatlings. If you charge up to the second stage, after a moment of firing at short range, the range will increase dramatically, roughly the same as Heavy Splatling. During its second stage firing, it has perfect accuracy will but fires slightly slower compared to other Splatlings. Any subsequent charges with skip the first stage and will have high range and accuracy.
