Splat Dualies

The Splat Dualies are a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.

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 obstruction of one Dualie does not inhibit the shots of the other. While crouched in a dodge roll, 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.

Appearance

Each of the Splat Dualies has an ink tank connected to a nozzle via a black and green handle. The ink tank changes color to match the user's ink, while the nozzle is green with pink highlights. There is a small tube that also connects the ink tank to the nozzle. Like most other dualies, both of the Splat Dualies are identical. The Splat Dualies are relatively small compared to most other weapons. Its black body peice has indents making it appear like some plastic.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The main is the Splat Dualies, a pair of dualie-type weapons born from the culture of Turf War! You carry one in each hand, which is pretty sweet, and their propulsive exhaust nozzles allow you to perform a high-speed dodge roll! You can't move for a brief period immediately after rolling, but the two sights overlap during that time, increasing your splatting power. The included Burst Bombs have great damage output, and you can hit far-off opponents with the Tenta Missiles! It's a really solid set!

“

Spray ink from both of your hands with this new weapon type. Press while shooting with to roll in the direction you're moving. You can roll twice in a row to cover more ground.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction Here we have the Splat Dualies, a dualie weapon born from the "ink hard or get splatted trying" culture of Turf War battles! These are dual-wielding, pistol-type weapons that - let's be honest - look pretty sweet. But there's some real substance behind the style... The propulsive exhaust nozzles on each weapon allow you to perform a high-speed Dodge Roll! As a trade-off, you won't be able to move for a brief moment after executing this move. But during that time, the two weapon sights overlap, increasing your splatting power. Paired with Suction Bombs as your sub weapon, this loadout might SEEM as though it's lacking in power... then BOOM. You realize you have the Crab Tank. All hail Crab Tank!

“

Let's look at two examples. Here we have the Splat Dualies, a classic dualie set that derives its Dodge Roll power from the momentum generated by the ink blast. Users can perform two consecutive Dodge Rolls and follow them up with a rapid-fire barrage - if they nail the timing!

Trivia

• According to the Splatoon 2 event demo, the Splat Dualies originally came with Suction Bombs and the Inkjet. In the final game, this changed to Burst Bombs and the Tenta Missiles, and the beta set was later given to the Rapid Blaster Deco, Nautilus 79, and Fresh Squiffer.
  • Its sub was changed to Curling Bombs for the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire. This set was later given to the Enperry Splat Dualies and Custom Goo Tuber.
  • The Suction Bombs would reappear on dualies in the form of the Kensa Splat Dualies. The Inkjet was also given to the Glooga Dualies.
• This is the only weapon to have different losing animations in the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire and the final release.
• According to The Art of Splatoon 2, the Splat Dualies use smaller versions of existing ink-firing mechanisms.
  • At first, they were meant to be a one-handed weapon, but they were considered too weak to be a viable weapon. The founder then asked, "Couldn't you just hold one in each hand?" After that, the Splat Dualies became viable.
• The Splat Dualies are the only main weapon, made by the splat brand, not to be redesigned in Splatoon 3.
• This is one of the weapons available to use in the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere.
