The Tentatek Splattershot returns in Splatoon 2, now based off the Splattershots redesign in that game, and differs in appearance with a banner wrapped around the gun with a Tentatek logo. It now comes with Splat Bombs and the Inkjet.

Sheldon's Introduction

The Tentatek Splattershot is the product of a collaboration with the gear brand Tentatek! Its stats are the same, but it now has Splat Bombs as its sub weapon and the Inkjet special, allowing players to push the front lines! I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to quickly expand their team's turf and raise their team's morale!

The Tentatek Splattershot is an all-around weapon in terms of power, range, and rate of fire, making it easy to use for players of all levels of experience. When utilized, it sprays a steady splattering ink until the player's Ink Tank is depleted. It comes in a set with the Suction Bomb and Inkzooka.

The Tentatek Splattershot, designed in collaboration with the popular gear brand Tentatek! It's no different in stats to the standard Splattershot, but it comes with Suction Bombs and the Inkzooka! This makes it useful against tricky foes who like to keep their distance from you. I hope you'll try it out!^(EU/OC)

Notes

“	This loadout is most useful during ranked Splat Zones matches. Suction Bombs can be used to set traps behind walls in Splat Zones. The Inkzooka alows you to put up a fight from a much greater distance and hit enemies who are on higher ground. Ink Saver (Main) and Ink Saver (Sub) are abilities you should consider when equipping this loadout.	”
— Splatoon Prima Guide

Many view the Tentatek Splattershot as an indispensable "jack-of-all-trades" weapon. With good all around damage, range, fire rate, ammo consumption and inking capability, combined with the highly useful Suction Bombs and Inkzooka, the Tentatek is a solid and safe bet for any map and any game mode.

The weapon itself has a high enough rate of fire to keep Krakens at bay and inks good turf to boot.
Inkzooka has the second highest range of any weapon in the game, only losing out to the E-liter 3K family of weapons (but not by much).
Suction Bombs are capable of flushing enemies out of key positions, such as the Tower or Sniper Perches.
