Custom Goo Tuber

The Custom Goo Tuber is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. It is a Custom-branded version of the Goo Tuber.

This weapon can hold a charge for an exceptionally long time in comparison to other chargers, being able to hold a charge for five seconds as opposed to other chargers which only last one second. This allows players to get to a better vantage point or sneak up on enemies with a full charge. The weapon also bears the ability to store incomplete charges. Its charging time takes slightly longer than a Splat Charger, and the range is slightly shorter. Each fully charged shot consumes 15% of the ink tank, allowing users to fire six shots before needing to refill.

Appearance

The Custom Goo Tuber is nearly identical in appearance to the Goo Tuber. The only difference between the two is that the Custom Goo Tuber has a sticker bearing the Custom logo stuck on the pump.

In Splatoon 3, the color of the Custom Goo Tuber's pump has been changed from orange to light blue.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Custom Goo Tuber has that classic Goo Tuber performance but with a fresh new look and a new loadout that can really shake up your strategy! For example, when you use Fizzy Bombs to ink a path forward, you can load up a stored charge and blast ahead. Enemies corner you while you're on the offensive? You've got the Ultra Stamp special in your back pocket! It's so satisfying to turn the tables like that... And remember—stored charges are great, but this weapon still packs a punch on a partial charge. Don't be shy with that trigger button!

“

We've also got specs on the Custom Goo Tuber. It... has the same specs as the base Goo Tuber. But it comes in a new color! And with Fizzy Bombs and the Ultra Stamp, this set allows for daring close encounters - get all up in the other team's personal space, then start Ultra Stamping!
