Zink Mini Splatling

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Zink Mini Splatling is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. It is a Mini Splatling with Zink branding and a different loadout.

It has a very short charge time, only needing approximately 0.33 seconds to reach the first level of charge, and 0.5 seconds to reach the second level of charge, and more maneuverability than the Heavy Splatling. However, its range is significantly shorter than the Heavy Splatling, and it shoots for less time. Only shooting for 0.6 seconds at the first level of charge, and 1.2 seconds at the second level of charge. Each fully charged attack consumes 15% of the ink tank capacity, allowing users to fire six full charges before needing to refill. Each ink bullet deals enough damage to splat opponents in four hits.

Data

  • The Zink Mini Splatling is a middleweight weapon.
  • A full charge consumes 15% of the ink tank capacity.
    • This allows players to fully charge 6 times before needing to refill the ink tank.
    • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
  • The Zink Mini Splatling cannot store its charge.
  • The Zink Mini Splatling is not rechargeable while firing.
  • When charging the weapon, it will take 18 frames in order to charge its first ring and 27 frames in total for a full charge.
  • With a single ring charged, it will have a firing duration of 36 frames. With a full charge, it will have a firing duration of 72 frames.
  • When charging with an empty tank, the charge time is multiplied by 6.
  • When firing, it has a fire rate of 4 frames between shots.
  • When firing, the player's movement speed is set to 0.8 units per frame.
    • When charging, the player's movement speed is set to 0.7 units per frame.
  • After firing, there is a 30 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
  • Each shot has a base damage of 28.
  • Shots travel straight for 8 frames. After that, they may lose damage.
  • Shots have a radius of 2 units.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 4 degrees.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 8 degrees.
  • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. The outer reticle will finish shrinking after 45 frames.
  • The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle increases by 2% per shot, and maximizes at a 30% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle.
    • This means that it takes 15 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
  • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 30%.
  • Accuracy starts recovering 4 frames after the player stops shooting.
  • Within the first charge ring, initial shot velocity scales from 10.5 to 15 units per frame. Within the second charge ring, initial shot velocity is always 15 units per frame. Shots travel straight at the initial velocity for 8 frames.
    • So at maximum charge, the weapon has an effective range of 120 units.
  • Ink droplets occur every 85 units.
  • The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1.8 droplets per shot.
  • There are a total of 5 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
  • Droplets that occur within 10 units of the player have a radius of 22 units.
  • Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 21 units.

 Sheldon's Introduction

The Zink Mini Splatling stands out amongst other splatlings with its different look, though its stats are the same as the S2 Weapon Main Mini Splatling.png Mini Splatling. If you swim in the wake of the included S2 Weapon Sub Curling Bomb.png Curling Bombs, you can quickly reach the front lines and get to work! Ink up your side of the map with a good S2 Weapon Special Ink Storm.png Ink Storm, laying the groundwork for your team to zip around the map and seize victory!

“ It’s time to put the “ink” in “Zink Zink” tonight! The Zink Mini Splatling has the same stats as the S2 Weapon Main Mini Splatling.png Mini Splatling but comes with a unique look. This kit also contains S2 Weapon Sub Curling Bomb.png Curling Bombs (which allows you to quickly reach the front lines) and the S2 Weapon Special Ink Storm.png Ink Storm special (which helps with your team’s mobility). With this delightful combination, it’s a good kit for those more mobile-minded Splatling users. ”

Trivia

  • In the North American version of Splatoon, when the player is splatted by a Zink Mini Splatling there is a space between the weapon name and the exclamation mark, reading "Splatted by Zink Mini Splatling !" instead of "Splatted by Zink Mini Splatling!" This is the only weapon for which this happens and is not present in other localizations. A space is also present after the name on SplatNet.
    • This issue is carried over to Splatoon 2, where it appears in the North American and European versions - and even affects SplatNet 2 and Callie's statistics.

Etymology

Zink Mini Splatling is derived from Mini, a shortening of miniature, and a portmanteau of Splat and Gatling. It has the Zink brand name as a prefix to differentiate it from the Mini Splatling. It also denotes that the weapon is a collaboration with Zink.

スプラスピナーコラボ Supura Supinā Korabo is a combination of either Splat or Splash, and Spinner. Spinner is due to the fact that the barrels of the Mini Splatling rotate while charging and firing. It also has the abbreviated prefix Collab to separate it from Splaspinner and to denote that it is a collaboration. However, unlike the English name, it doesn't specify the brand Zink.
