The two have the same stats, but this one pairs with Burst Bombs, letting you continually barrage your enemies! Easy to handle, the L-3 Nozzlenose(sic) is great for the aggressive player who wants to attack with precision and hit baddies with the Inkjet! |

Sheldon's Introduction
The L-3 Nozzlenose D is a special model of the L-3 Nozzlenose with the maker's logo emblazoned on it! But you know that's not all... it also has a fancy-schmancy new loadout! Including Burst Bombs to weaken foes a bit before finishing 'em off with your main weapon. And the special? None other than the Ultra Stamp, guaranteed to send anyone in your path running for cover. Don't underestimate the amount of ink you can fling with this setup, but it is a quirky combo. If you feel like making a big mess and experimenting, I hope you'll give it a try! |
“ | Let's keep it rolling with a video of the L-3 Nozzlenose D, a new design of the L-3 Nozzlenose. It comes with Burst Bombs to help weaken foes before hitting them with a burst of ink from the 'nose. And the Ultra Stamp special stamps HARD, no matter where enemies try to hide. | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[6]
