The weapon re-appears in Splatoon 2 and has a new design. It has a purple stripe design that wraps around the barrel, a dark blue/purple grip and a dark green muzzle. The barrel is now part of the gun body, instead of on top, and the muzzle now comes out of the barrel. There is a cap where the tube connecting the barrel to the gun used to be, reminiscent of the caps used to refill a water gun full of water in real life. It came with File:S2 Weapon Tenta Missiles .png [[]] instead of the File:S Weapon Bomb Rush .png [[]] in the Splatoon 2 Testfire demo. In the current game, it comes with the File:S2 Weapon Splashdown .png [[]] special.

“	The latest model of the iconic weapon that embodies the spirit of Turf War. Press to fire off a volley of ink. This bad boy is a great choice for newbies and seasoned veterans alike.	”

The Splattershot is an all-around weapon in terms of power, range, and rate of fire, making it easy to use for players of all levels of experience. It has a simplistic colorful look, similar to real life childrens water guns. When utilized, it sprays a steady splattering of Ink until the player's Ink Tank is depleted. It comes in a set with the File:S Weapon Burst Bomb .png [[]] and File:S Weapon Bomb Rush .png [[]].

“	Developed after the Great Turf War, this weapon is easy enough for anyone to use. A great all-rounder with few weak points. A trusty companion through thick and thin.	”

Recommended Abilities

The Bomb Range Up ability allows players to throw Splat Bombs, Burst Bombs, Suction Bombs, Point Sensors, and Disruptors up to 50% farther. This ability encourages frequent use of the Splattershot's sub weapon, the Burst Bomb, which can splat enemies in two hits when hitting directly. With Bomb Range Up, players using the Splattershot can take out opponents from a safe distance. No brand increases the chance of rolling this ability.

The Damage Up ability increases the power of burst bombs. With just 3 Damage Up ability just one burst bomb and one shot kills a player with no Defence Up ability. Squidforce is 5x more likely to roll this ability.

The Swim Speed Up ability allows players to swim faster, which makes harder target to kill and much more mobility when moving in squid form.

Ink Recovery Up allows players to constantly throw Burst Bombs and have frequent presence on the map.

Trivia

Splatoon

• The Hero Shot, a modified version of the Splattershot, is the default weapon in Octo Valley and the Squid amiibo challenges, but it cannot be used anywhere else.
• The Splattershot was the first playable Main Weapon, available in the 2014 E3 Demo. At that time it was called the "Ink Shot."
  • Furthermore, it's Sub and Special were the Splat Bomb and Inkzooka respectively. No weapon in the Splattershot series has that sub/special combination, with the Tentatek Splattershot and Wasabi Splattershot using the Ink Shot's Special and Sub Weapons respectively.
• With five variants, the Splattershot has the most out of all weapons.
