E-liter 4K
The E-liter 4K is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. It is a charger-type weapon that sacrifices mobility, ink consumption and charge time for extreme range.
Appearance
In general, the E-liter 4K is based on a plastic gas pump handle with a metallic ink tank on the back and an elongated metallic spout with a plastic attachment and a black sight which acts as the barrel.
In Splatoon 2, the plastic parts are yellow and the ink tank changes color to match the user's ink.
In Splatoon 3, the plastic parts are blue, the handle also has a seven-segment LCD display, and the tube connecting the handle to the ink tank and a spring on the barrel change color to match the user's ink.

Sheldon's Introduction
With its pressurized polymer construction, the E-liter 4K has a remarkably long range, even for a charger! This model offers a more compact design than the original, which has cut into its range slightly, but it still has plenty of reach! Use the accompanying Ink Mines to cover your tracks, and then bring the Ink Storm special to expose anyone who dares hide from you! |
