The weapon re-appears in Splatoon 2 and has a new design. It has a purple stripe design that wraps around the barrel, a dark blue/purple grip and a dark green muzzle. The barrel is now part of the gun body, instead of on top, and the muzzle now comes out of the barrel. There is a cap where the tube connecting the barrel to the gun used to be, reminiscent of the caps used to refill a water gun full of water in real life. It came with S2 Weapon Special Tenta Missiles.png Tenta Missiles instead of the S Weapon Special Bomb Rush Burst Bomb.png Bomb Rush in the Splatoon 2 Testfire demo. In the current game, it comes with the S2 Weapon Special Splashdown.png Splashdown special.

Recommended Abilities

The Bomb Range Up ability allows players to throw Splat Bombs, Burst Bombs, Suction Bombs, Point Sensors, and Disruptors up to 50% farther. This ability encourages frequent use of the Splattershot's sub weapon, the Burst Bomb, which can splat enemies in two hits when hitting directly. With Bomb Range Up, players using the Splattershot can take out opponents from a safe distance. No brand increases the chance of rolling this ability.
The Damage Up ability increases the power of burst bombs. With just 3 Damage Up ability just one burst bomb and one shot kills a player with no Defence Up ability. Squidforce is 5x more likely to roll this ability.
The Swim Speed Up ability allows players to swim faster, which makes harder target to kill and much more mobility when moving in squid form.
Ink Recovery Up allows players to constantly throw Burst Bombs and have frequent presence on the map.
