Tentatek Splattershot

The Tentatek Splattershot, often referred to simply as "the Tentatek", is a Main Weapon in Splatoon. It was the first weapon available to the public in the E3 2014 demo of Splatoon.

Description

The Tentatek 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. When utilized, it sprays a steady splattering ink until the player's Ink Tank is depleted. It comes in a set with the Suction Bomb and Inkzooka.

Notes

“	This loadout is most useful during ranked Splat Zones matches. Suction Bombs can be used to set traps behind walls in Splat Zones. The Inkzooka alows you to put up a fight from a much greater distance and hit enemies who are on higher ground. Ink Saver (Main) and Ink Saver (Sub) are abilities you should consider when equipping this loadout.	”

Many view the Tentatek Splattershot as an indispensable "jack-of-all-trades" weapon. With good all around damage, range, fire rate, ammo consumption and inking capability, combined with the highly useful Suction Bombs and Inkzooka, the Tentatek is a solid and safe bet for any map and any game mode.

• The weapon itself has a high enough rate of fire to keep Krakens at bay and inks good turf to boot.
• Inkzooka has the second highest range of any weapon in the game, only losing out to the E-Liter 3K family of weapons (but not by much).
• Suction bombs are capable of flushing enemies out of key positions, such as the Tower or Sniper Perches.
