Ink Piston
Template:InfoboxCharacter Ink Pistons are mechanics found in Octo Canyon and Return of the Mammalians. They shoot a ray of ink into the direction they are facing, dealing enough damage to either break the player's armor in one hit or immediately splat them if they are without armor.
A version of this obstacle called Ink Sticks, which are always extended, appears in the Octo Expansion. Ink Sticks can knock the player off of ride rails while Ink Pistons only break their armor.
Description
Ink Pistons are small Octarian machines found in Octo Canyon. They appear to have faces made up of three bolts: two making the eyes and a bigger one making the mouth. They can be seen bolted to any wall or in a floating tank, placed horizontally or vertically. Although Ink Pistons behave similarly to a Gusher, the Piston activates itself and shoots out a ray of ink. On the first Octo Canyon mission they appear in, Sunset Octocopter, Marie tells Agent 4 that they should not touch them.
The way that the game developers would set them across the map can work in two ways: walls and obstacles. One example is the wall that can be seen on Sunset Octocopter, which prevents Agent 4 from inking and climbing a wall. The only time that they can pass is when the Ink Pistons retract.
