Sheldon's Picks are a set of reskins of existing weapons with new sub and special weapons. They are each the third variation of their respective main weapon (excluding single-player reskins), and are all Sheldon's Picks Sheldon's Picks-branded.

Splatoon

Each set contains new weapon combos which Sheldon carefully selected and modified based off of existing weapons, such as the “Wasabi Splattershot” and “Fresh Squiffer.” Will you discover new strats with the new combos?

Sheldon's Picks were first announced during the 3 March 2016 Nintendo Direct presentation that were released in two volumes. The first came on 13 April 2016 as part of Version 2.7.0 and the second was added on 8 June 2016 part of Version 2.8.0.[2] All of them are unlocked at Level 20, with the Tempered Dynamo Roller and Aerospray PG also requiring the fifth and third Boss Scrolls, respectively.

Sheldon's Picks in Splatoon 2

In Splatoon 2, Sheldon's Picks' role as the series of third variations to weapons initially seemed to be taken by the Kensa Collection. However, on 27 January 2019 at the 4th Splatoon Koshien Tokaigi (Japanese Splatoon 2 championships), it was announced that all weapons that appeared in Sheldon's Picks in Splatoon but did not receive a third variation in the Kensa Collection will return in Splatoon 2 in a future update.[3]

The announcement also contained renders of the new weapons, and was later published on social media.[4]
