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!

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

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.
