The Hero Blaster Replica is visually identical to the Level 1 Hero Blaster, but is simply a re-skinned Blaster. Therefore unlike the switchable sub weapons of the Hero Blaster, it comes with Toxic Mist and Splashdown. To unlock the Hero Blaster Replica, the player must complete every level with the Hero Blaster in Octo Canyon, in which it becomes available for purchase at Ammo Knights.

  • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
• When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 14 frames to come out.
• When firing from squid or octopus form, the first shot takes 24 frames to come out.
• The interval between firing and when the player is able to become a squid or use a sub weapon is 23 frames.
• When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 50 frames (1.2 shots per second).

• When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 50%.
• Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 9.45 units per frame for 9 frames. Shots travel straight for 85.05 distance units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 9.131 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
• Ink droplets occur every 15 units.
• The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 7 droplets per shot.
• There are a total of 1 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
• Ink droplets have a radius of 13.5 units.
• 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.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Hero Blaster Replica is a specially designed blaster with the same stats as the standard Blaster. This weapon came about after I made a breakthrough in my research and managed to create the ultimate weapon! Sadly, it never made it to mass production because the guys at the factory couldn't wrap their heads around my advanced schematics... So instead they just slapped some shiny parts on a standard Blaster and called it the Hero Blaster Replica.
