“

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 allows 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.

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

Data

• The Tentatek Splattershot is a middleweight weapon.
• The matchmaking range is 125. Splatoon 2 matchmaking looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
• The ink consumption of 0.92% and ink tank capacity of 100% allows players to fire 108 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
  • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
• When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
• When firing from squid or octopus form, the first shot takes 11 frames to come out.
• The interval between firing and when the player is able to become a squid or use a sub weapon is 4 frames.
• When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 6 frames (10 shots per second).
• When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.72 units per frame.
• After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
• Each shot has a base damage of 36.
• If a shot is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it loses 0.5625 damage per frame until it reaches 18 damage at frame 40.
• The bullet hitbox has a radius of 2 units.
• The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 6 degrees.
• The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 12 degrees.
• The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
• The Tentatek Splattershot starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
  • This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
• When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
• Accuracy starts recovering 6 frames after the player stops shooting. The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 1.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum, meaning that it takes 22 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (32 after shooting while jumping.)
• Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 22 units per frame for 4 frames. Shots travel straight for 88 distance units.
  • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 14.495 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
• Ink droplets occur every 92 units.
• The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1.5 droplets per shot.
• There are a total of 6 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
• Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 18 units, and a width of 12 units.
  • These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.4 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
• Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 16 units.
• All other ink droplets have a radius of 12.8 units.
• Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.

Version history

Base game	▲ Angle of shot deviation while jumping: 15 degrees → 12 degrees. ▲ Number of droplet patterns: 5 → 6. ▲ Increase in chance to shoot towards the outer reticle per shot: 2% → 1%. ▼ Ink consumption: 0.9% → 1%. ▼ Droplet rate: 2 → 1.5. ▼ Distance between droplets: 75 units → 92 units. ▼ Radius of paint droplets near the player: 19.2 units → 18 units. ▼ Far droplet paint radius: 18 units → 16 units. ▼ Droplet paint radius: 13 units → 12.8 units.
1.1.2	▼ Points to fill special gauge: 190 → 210.
1.3.0	▼ Points to fill special gauge: 210 → 230.
2.3.0	▲ Points to fill special gauge: 230 → 210.
4.2.0	▲ Reduce the interval between firing and becoming a squid or using a sub weapon by 2/60 of a second.
4.4.0	▲ Reduced the time to shoot from squid form by 1/60 of a second.
4.7.0	▲ When equipped, the Main Power Up gear ability will now also lessen shot spread variance when firing while on the ground, in addition to the benefits it previously provided.
5.0.0	▲ Increased damage dealt to the Booyah Bomb armor by roughly 17%.
5.1.0	▲ Decreased ink consumption by roughly 8%. ▲ Points to fill special gauge: 210 → 200.
5.3.0	▲ Reduced the amount of time it takes for shot spread (which is the gradual distance shots spread away from the target when firing continuously) to return to normal: 54 frames → 22 frames. Most Shooter-type weapons will have increased shot spread when continuously firing. When the player stops firing, the shot spread gradually returns to normal, but with this fix, the amount of time it takes to return has been reduced.
5.4.0	▲ Increased the likelihood the turf around the player's feet will be inked when firing.
5.5.0	▲ Increased maximum damage that can be dealt: 35 → 36. ▲ Slowed damage falloff speed relative to projectile travel time by roughly 66.7%.

Quotes

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!

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction As if the original Splattershot wasn't stylish enough, a special collab gives us the Tentatek Splattershot! Functionally, the weapon is identical to a regular Splattershot. But its fashion-forward form comes with Splat Bombs and the feared Triple Inkstrike special. It's always in style to mix things up, so I recommend this loadout for Splattershot users who dare to be different. Talk about très dangereux!

Trivia

• This weapon is tied with the Enperry Splat Dualies, L-3 Nozzlenose D, Octo Shot Replica, and Ballpoint Splatling for the most expensive Inkjet in Splatoon 2 with 200p.
• After its announcement for Splatoon 3's Chill Season 2022 update, the Tentatek Splattershot's special weapon was not initially revealed. The confirmation of Triple Inkstrike's inclusion happened indirectly before the update released, as it appears on the weapon's Tableturf Battle card art.
• In Splatoon 3, it shares its set with the Slosher, both having Splat Bomb and Triple Inkstrike. This set is also similar to the Wasabi Splattershot.

Etymology

'Tentatek Splattershot' is a combination of splatter (as well as splat) and shot. It has the Tentatek brand name as a prefix to differentiate it from the Splattershot. It also denotes that the weapon is a collaboration with Tentatek.

Its Japanese name, スプラシューターコラボ supurashūtā korabo, is a combination of either splat or splash, and shooter. It also has the abbreviated prefix collab to separate it from Splashooter and to denote that it is a collaboration. However, unlike the English name, it does not specify the brand Tentatek.
