So unless you've just launched the game with no prior knowledge of what a weapon kit even is you know that weapons come with 2 (or sometimes 3) kits. While the naming scheme of 3rd kits is pretty simple, it's either just a name the devs picked cause they think it sounds cool in case of Sheldon's Picks or just the brand name in case of brand collab third kits (which is just Kensa currently), the naming convetions of second kits are quite complicated.
Grim Range Blaster Kensa Splattershot
In this thread I'll explain how they work in detail + point out some outliers.
WEAPON BRANDS
The most common way the second kits are name is [Weapon brand name] + [Weapon name]. You will never see a weapon made by one brand have a kit with the name of a different weapon brand unless it's a mistake by the developers (which. there are several of but we'll get into it later), so naming your custom kits Custom Heavy Splatling or Luna Blaster Deco is highly innacurate.
Heavy Splatling Deco
The list of brands that use this naming scheme is as follows:
Sniperwriter 5B
SPLAT WEAPONS
Almost all weapons made by the splat brand have their second kit be a collab with a clothing brand. None of them are named after the weapon brand they are made by.
Forge Splattershot Pro
While Tri-Stringer's second kit is a clothing brand collaboration it is NOT a Splat weapon. The weapon brand that made Tri-Stringer currently does not have a name, but we do know it's logo. Tri-Stringer does however feature the Splat logo on one of it's bottles so that may explain the name of the second kit.
AMMO KNIGHTS
Dynamo Roller and Aerospray have the Gold prefix in their names. Nautilus also follows this scheme as 79 is gold's atomic number in the periodic table, which explains why the 3 of them have the same brand sticker on their icons. Bamboozler follows it's own unique naming convention, where it's first kit is called MK I, second MK II, and third MK III.
DOLPHIN
Dolphin weapons don't have a unified naming scheme as the Nozzlenoses simply have the D postfix while Squiffer is called "New". As such we currently can't accurately predict what Dread Wringer's second kit will be called.
NINTENDO
The 2 nintendo weapons, N-ZAP and S-BLAST, have the same naming convention where their kits are styled after a Nintendo console and they have the year it was made in as a postfix (ex. S-BLAST '91 has the same color scheme as the SNES which came out in 1991)
LOCALISATION MISTAKES (OR SIMPLY QUESTIONABLE CHOICES)
Most outliers to the naming schemes described above are localisation mistakes or simply questionable localisation choices.
The list of such weapons is as follows:
Custom Splattershot Jr. - made by Splat but has the Custom prefix. I suggest reading about it's original name on Inkipedia as it's quite interesting. A potential reason why it was named custom is because in the files all second kits have the prefix Cstm, which may have led the localisation team to believe it's a generic name for second kits they could use since using the original Japanese name translated as is wouldn't be recognised by other cultures. It also can be argued that Custom Jr is supposed to be a clothing brand collab as it's sticker's design bears heavy resemblance to designs used by the Squidforce clothing brand.
Splat Brella - made by Sorella but has the Splat prefix. This may be just a concious decision by the localisation team as simply Brella doesn't sound nearly as catchy as Splat Brella.
Neo Splatana Stamper - made by Nouveau but has the Neo prefix. I do Not know how this one happened, the localisation team needs a nap.
And that is all on kit naming convetions, hope you found this interesting! Now go and never make custom second kits named stuff like Painbrush Deluxe or Custom Undercover Brella ever again.
