Data

  • The matchmaking range is 17. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
  • The ink consumption is 2.08% per shot and 6.24% per burst, allowing the user to fire 16 full bursts on a full ink tank.
  • When pressing , three shots will be fired at a time, as long as there is enough ink to fire all three.
    • If there is not enough ink to fire all three shots, then zero, one or two shots will be fired instead, depending on how much ink is left in the ink tank.
  • When firing a burst, a shot is fired every 5 frames.
  • After the last shot in a burst is fired, another burst cannot be fired for 20 frames.
  • When firing from humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out. When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 12 frames to come out.
  • When a burst is started, it takes 35 frames before the user can enter swim form or use their sub weapon.
  • When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.06 units per frame.
  • After firing, there is a 25 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
  • Each shot has a base damage of 44 and minimum damage of 22.
  • If a shot is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it will lose about 0.69 damage every frame until it reaches 22 damage at frame 40.
  • The bullet hitbox for collisions with players has a radius of 0.2 units.
  • The bullet hitbox for collisions with the environment has a radius of 0.2 units.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 1 degrees.

  • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 20 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 50 frames.
  • The weapon 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%.
  • Accuracy starts recovering 5 frames after the player stops 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 53 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (83 after shooting while jumping.)
  • Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 2.875 units per frame for 4 frames. Shots travel straight for 11.5 distance units.
    • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 2.2698 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and it loses 36% of its speed every frame (including the first frame after it stops traveling straight). Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
  • The effective range is about 15.06 units.
    • This number may vary at different firing angles.

Sheldon's Introduction

If you're a steely-eyed someone who wants to make their one shot COUNT, the H-3 Nozzlenose VIP-R may be for you. Developed by Barazushi for use in harsh environments, this formidable weapon may have a low fire rate, but it has a high fear rate! Try drawing out your opponents with Suction Bombs and then sniping them. And if you can get the Triple Inkstrike charged? Good night!

The H-3 Nozzlenose VIP-R is a predator-inspired weapon coming from Barazushi in the Splatlands Collection. Make your opponents dance with Suction Bombs and Triple Inkstrike.
