Sheldon's Introduction
The Luna Blaster Neo is basically just the Luna Blaster with a sweet sticker slapped on it. No reason to sugarcoat it.
But this time around, it comes with Ink Mines, which are great at slowing down enemy movement!
The special is the Suction-Bomb Launcher, so get clever with the time delay on the explosion to splat your opponents.
Recommended for players that have mastered the art of being clever while looking good! |
“ | A Luna landing is happening at Ammo Knights today! The Luna Blaster Neo has the same stats as the Luna Blaster, and is great for getting up close and personal. This weapon comes with the Ink Mine sub to protect your surroundings and the Suction-Bomb Launcher to throw a party. A party of... Suction-Bombs. Um. Yes. | ” |

Sheldon's Introduction
Some say the Luna Blaster Neo is just a Luna Blaster with a sweet new design. I...may have said that myself. But the loadout as a whole is actually quite different! Of course, the weapon packs that same great punch as the original Luna Blaster, but if you find the range isn't enough, now you can fire off a Fizzy Bomb. And for those times you're politely knocking on the door but can't break through, the Ultra Stamp can help kick that thing down and get the splat party started! This set is cute as all get-out, but it's deadlier than a bathtub full of alligators. If you're into that kind of contrast, give it a try! |
“ | SRL intern here! Everyone's on vacation, so I'm in charge. So, uh... check out the Luna Blaster Neo! I guess it's the same as the regular Luna Blaster. But it comes with Fizzy Bombs and the Ultra Stamp, according to this note on Ballistics's desk. Should I see what else is here? | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[8]
