Splat Dualies
The Splat Dualies are a main weapon in Splatoon 2. Dualies are a new weapon type added in Splatoon 2 and feature prominently in promotional material.
When fired, the Splat Dualies spray ink from both of the player's hands. Two reticles are displayed as a result, and each reticle acts independently, so an obstruction of one Dualie does not inhibit the shots of the other.
The Splat Dualies feature a unique roll mechanic. Pressing 
(jump) while firing causes the player to quickly roll in the movement direction, leaving behind a small cone of ink. The player then enters a crouch for a short duration. While crouched, the player's reticles are merged and shots are concentrated on one point; however, walking is disabled. Rolls may be used up to two times consecutively before the player must stand again.

Data
- The Splat Dualies consume 0.8% of the ink tank capacity with each shot, allowing the player to fire 125 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
- Each roll consumes 6% of the ink tank capacity.
- The Splat Dualies have inaccuracy prior to a roll, but still appear to fire in a parallel manner. The Splat Dualies have increased accuracy after a roll.
- It is impossible to initiate a jump while strafing with the Splat Dualies, as attempting to do so will start a roll. Thus, the only way to fire the Splat Dualies airborne is to jump before firing, jump without tilting the left stick, or to fall from an elevated position while firing.
