Data

• The Foil Squeezer is a middleweight weapon.
• The ink consumption of 2.2% allows players to fire 45 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
• Holding for 12 frames in burst fire mode will cause the weapon to shift to continuous fire mode.
• When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
  • When firing from squid or octopus form, the first shot takes 8 frames to come out.
• When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.72 units per frame.
• After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
• Shots have a radius of 2 units.

Burst fire mode (pressing ZR)

• When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 8 frames between shots.
• If a shot is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it loses 1.1875 damage per frame until it reaches 19 damage at frame 24.
• Shots cannot ever deviate from the inner reticle while on the ground.
• Shots cannot ever deviate from the inner reticle while in the air. The outer reticle does not expand after jumping.
• Shots initially travel at a rate of 32 units per frame for 4 frames, having an effective range of 128 units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 29.695 units if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
• Ink droplets occur every 150 units.
• The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1.5 droplets per shot.
• There are a total of 8 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
• Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 22 units, and a width of 12.5 units.
  • These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
• Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 15 units.
• All other ink droplets have a radius of 11.8 units.
• Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
• If no ink droplets have occurred within 11 units of the player for 3 shots, the next shot the player makes will force a paint droplet to appear at the player's feet.

Continuous fire mode (holding ZR)

• When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 7 frames between shots.
• If a shot is in the air for more than 7 frames after being fired, it loses 0.9375 damage per frame until it reaches 15 damage at frame 23.
• The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 8 degrees.
• The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 13 degrees.
• The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
• The Foil Squeezer starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
  • This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle. Meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
• When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
• When not shooting, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 0.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum. Meaning that it takes 48 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (78 after shooting while jumping.)
• Shots initially travel at a rate of 24 units per frame for 3 frames, having an effective range of 72 units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 23.032 units if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
• Ink droplets occur every 65 units.
• The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 2 droplets per shot.
• There are a total of 5 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
• Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 18 units, and a width of 12 units.
  • These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
• Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 16 units.
• All other ink droplets have a radius of 11.8 units.
• Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
