Incorrect image

The reeflux image is the 2d variant (the one the appears on the top of the screen during battles) all other weapons have 3d images (Images shown in the equip menu) Derpster (talk) 23:39, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think we have an image on inkipedia for 3d images yet, so this is just a placeholder ig. OrderSquid38 New Squid.jpg OrderSquid38 [Talk] 23:45, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Possible reference to archery terminology

The formatting of the Japanese name, which was partially carried over to English, may be a reference to archery terminology in Japan in a similar manner to the .52 Gal's reference to bullet caliber in firearm terminology.

Was going to add this to Etymology, but it sounds too much like conjecture. Does anyone happen to speak Japanese and be really into archery to confirm? Silverbrick (talk) 14:36, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Etymology addition?

REEF-LUX is described as a portmanteau of "reef" and "deluxe" but I think there's an additional reference in the name, Gastroesophageal reflux or Acid Reflux was the first thing I thought of when I read the name REEF-LUX.

Acid Reflux is basically when some of the contents of your stomach, most often just stomach acid, come back up your esophagus. It can cause other issues like heartburn and really can mess up your throat if it happens often.

It's a gross reference if it was intended, but I wouldn't put it past the localization team. SpaceCadet11 (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
