The L-3 Nozzlenose D was released on 6 January 2018 at 02:00 UTC.[1] It comes with Burst Bombs and Inkjet.
Quick facts
A.k.a.: L-3
Strengths: Range (vs. a Splattershot), turfing, mobility
Weaknesses: requires good accuracy and the ability to lead shots, less damage and range vs. a Splattershot Pro
Recommended abilities
Ability | Purpose |
---|---|
Main Power Up | Increases main weapon damage up to 33.3 |
Run Speed Up | Increases both running speed, notably while firing, and Inkjet movement speed |
Use
- The L-3 Nozzlenose D is a unique, medium ranged slayer's weapon[4], thanks to its various abilities.
- It has more range than a number of other slayer's weapons, such as the Splattershot, the Splat Dualies, and the Splash-o-matic, allowing it to zone out many opposing slayers in a one-on-one and both shark and turf from a safer distance.
- The ink coverage of the L-3 Nozzlenose D and Burst Bombs is very efficient for turfing, which helps maintain map control and quickly build up the special gauge.
- Its mobility, particularly while firing, is amazing for a middleweight weapon, outpacing the Splattershot Pro, the Splattershot, even the Splash-o-matic. Run Speed Up can further increase this mobility, making its user a more difficult target to hit while firing.
- Main Power Up can increase its damage per shot, maxing out at 33.3 with 24 ability points - about two mains and one sub - as of Version 5.1.0.
- Comeback, Quick Respawn, and Stealth Jump are abilities that each encourage aggressive play for a slayer.
- As a burst-fire shooter, the L-3 Nozzlenose D requires a higher level of skill than an automatic shooter to be effective:
- Its user must be more accurate with aiming, due to the delay between bursts.
- A user of any burst-fire shooter has to be able to lead shots in order to maximize the damage per burst.
- While less powerful than other bombs, Burst Bombs instantly explode and have good ink efficiency, offering plenty of uses:
- Quickly turfing various inkable surfaces for quick maneuvering and building of the special gauge.
- Either leading off attacks before attacking with the main weapon or finishing off damaged opponents who try to flee.
- If piloted properly, the Inkjet can pressure opponents – particularly anchors – more directly than most other slayer's special weapons without committing too far forward (unlike the Baller):
- Upon activation, its launching point is marked for all players – teammates and opponents – to see and, as of Version 3.2.0, also indicates when its user will return via super jump, allowing an opponent to camp or shark there. Therefore, it is advised to launch the Inkjet from a less visible and better protected area.
- Drop Roller allows its user to better dodge either a potential Inkjet punish or a simple super jump punish, providing a safer landing.
- Specials are also free ink reloads, allowing the L-3 Nozzlenose D user to throw a Burst Bomb upon landing after the special ends.
- Its movement speed is determined by both the L-3 Nozzlenose D's strafing speed and the number of Run Speed Up ability points equipped.
- Its altitude depends on the elevation of the surface it is hovering above, enabling it to either fly very high over an elevated structure, such as the glass roof in Shellendorf Institute, or hover high enough to challenge an opponent on a perch.
- However, the Inkjet cannot achieve thrust off of grates or mesh, causing its pilot to merely walk on them. Avoid hovering over them to maintain altitude.
- Pressing the button will provide a temporary extra thrust, while morphing into squid/octopus form will halt the jets to enable the pilot to descend. Mastery of these maneuvers is necessary for Inkjet pilots to become less predictable for long-ranged opponents to track and pick off.
- Its mobility enables it to reach areas that are otherwise not easily accessible — or even inaccessible, such as over the glass enclosures in Kelp Dome.
- The Inkjet's cannon fires long-ranged, Rainmaker-like bursts of ink that splat opponents in one direct hit or two to four indirect hits:
- Lead the Inkjet's shots to compensate for their slightly slower travel speed, especially when positioned farther from an intended target.
- Its splash damage can splat opponents positioned behind obstacles, varying from 30 to 50 damage; the closer the shot to the opponent, the more damaging.
- If an Inkjet falls out of bounds, such as into the water, its pilot will land back onto the location of launch — or the most previous point of solid ground. Therefore, the Inkjet can save a player from an out-of-bounds splat in a pinch.
- Upon activation, its launching point is marked for all players – teammates and opponents – to see and, as of Version 3.2.0, also indicates when its user will return via super jump, allowing an opponent to camp or shark there. Therefore, it is advised to launch the Inkjet from a less visible and better protected area.
Countermeasures
- Because of the versatility of the L-3 Nozzlenose D, each of the many slayer's and support weapons each have to approach a matchup against it in a different manner:
- One-on-one matchups between L-3 Nozzlenose Ds on opposing teams are decided by the players' skill, positioning, turf control, and assistance from teammates.
- The L-3 Nozzlenose D outranges and outmaneuvers many typical slayer's weapons, such as the Splattershot and the Splash-o-matic, so they would be at a disadvantage in a straight one-on-one. Careful flanking or sharking and better positioning and tactical use of bombs are more effective than brute force.
- The Splattershot Pro easily outranges the L-3 Nozzlenose D but is outmaneuvered by it due to its relatively slow running speed while firing. Try to zone out the L-3 Nozzlenose D and watch both the ink tank and the surrounding turf because the Splattershot Pro is also weaker in both ink efficiency and turfing as well.
- Mid- to long-ranged support weapons are often the best bet against the L-3 Nozzlenose D. The .96 Gal, the H-3 Nozzlenose, and the Dualie Squelchers all outrange the L-3 Nozzlenose D, and the latter also outmaneuvers it (through dodge rolling).
- Brellas can pose a problem for the L-3 Nozzlenose D due to the latter's lag between bursts, but beware the L-3 Nozzlenose D's mobility.
- Be wary of any Burst Bombs the opposing L-3 Nozzlenose D might use, as they provide its user another quick damaging option to rely on.
- Any long-ranged weapon, such as a charger or most splatlings, can not only attack an L-3 Nozzlenose D with impunity (as long as the former can maintain a safe distance) but also pick off any errant Inkjet pilots.
- To avoid falling victim to a sharking L-3 Nozzlenose D, always keep track of all four opponents - which ones are still active, which ones are splatted, and which ones super jumped back to their spawn point - and turf suspicious puddles of opposing ink, preferably with a sub weapon.
- Any sub weapons that can track opponents not only discourage sharking but also make marked opponents easier targets for a long-ranged teammate.
- To punish an opposing Inkjet after it lands, eliminate its pilot's teammates while avoiding both its shots and exhaust before punishing the landing, preferably with a well-placed, well-timed bomb followed by shots from the main weapon. Make sure the opposing pilot does not have Drop Roll however.

Trivia
- The Nozzlenose family of weapons are visually designed after garden hose reels. This is also reflected in their names in some other languages.
- The D in the name likely represents the Dolphin on the side.
- The dolphin may be a reference to the codename for the Nintendo GameCube: "Dolphin".
- The L in the name means "light", referring that this weapon is the lighter version of the Nozzlenose weapons.
- This is supported by the French and both Spanish translations of the weapon.
