Appearance

Main article: Painbrush#Appearance

The Painbrush BRN-Z looks similar to the Painbrush, however it has dark grey bristles and a bronze composition with traces of characteristic green copper patina. Whitish text is stamped under the joint of the swiveling brush head in a hyphenated format, possibly resembling a serial number. A packet resembling a field ration packet stamped with Barazushi's logo is attached to the side of the weapon, and the small ring separating the handle from the rest of the weapon is a dark green.

Quotes

 Sheldon's Introduction

The Painbrush BRN-Z from Barazushi features a stunning bronze design, but this is not a weapon that's willing to accept third place! With the Splash Wall sub weapon to stake out a safe spot and the Trizooka special to add range and power, this loadout is well-balanced and reliable. If you can patiently wait for the right moment to turn the tables all at once, I'd recommend that you give this set a try!

“ The Painbrush BRN-Z is a weapon made with newly-researched materials coming from Barazushi in the Splatlands Collection. Establish your dominance with the Splash Wall and Trizooka. ”
