If you got to decide Sheldon's picks for Splatoon 2...

I think we’re seriously underestimating the utility of a toxic mist launcher. Disrupt an entire section of the map for like a few seconds!

If it were me, I would want to use Sheldon's Picks Vol. 3 as a way to get some of the less popular weapons to see mo replay time. As an example, we don't need a fourth Splattershot. We have the vanilla, the Tentatek, and I'm sure that the Wasabi will be back as per the promise that everything from S1 will return in some form or another (Dual Squelcher when?). They touched upon this idea in the first and second volumes of Sheldon's picks already, but if I were to design some of the new picks for Vol. 3, here's what I would be thinking:

• Carbon Roller - Curling Bomb/Splashdown
• E-Liter - Burst Bombs/Tenta Missiles
• L-3 Nozzlenose - Splash Wall/Burst Bomb Launcher
• Flingza Roller - Burst Bomb/Ink Storm
• Glooga Dualies - Burst Bomb or Splat Bomb/Baller
• Goo Tuber - Burst Bomb/Splat Bomb Launcher
• Dualie Squelchers - Toxic Mist/Ink Jet
• Octobrush - Splash Wall/Tenta Missiles
• Rapid Blaster - Toxic Mist or Splat Bomb/Ink Storm
• Rapid Blaster Pro - Splash Wall/Splashdown
• Hydra Splatling - Burst Bomb/Bubble Blower
• Splat Dualies - Autobomb/Ink Storm
• Tetra Dualies - Squid Beakon/Baller
• Dapple Dualies - Suction Bomb/Tenta Missiles
• Jet Squelcher - Splat Bomb/Bubble Blower
• Blaster - Splat Bomb/Baller
• Luna Blaster - Autobomb/Ink Storm
• Squeezer - Sprinkler/Ink Armor
• Sloshing Machine - Squid Beakon/Ink Armor
• Tri-Slosher - Sprinkler/Ink Storm
• Splattershot Jr. - Toxic Mist/Baller

So I ended up coming up with a few more ideas than I had originally anticipated. Some of these weapons are already popular, so I tried to come up with things that were a bit more original. Admittedly, not all of them were that well thought out. Perhaps I'll come up with different iterations for some of these at another time.

This just reminded me that I thought up alt kits, silly name and all, for every splatoon 1 weap last year for fun. Lemme see if I can’t translate some of my favorites into splat 2. I’ll include the original plan as well, just for kicks.

Slick Splattershot Jr.
[Duct-taped together design accent]
-Curling Bombs
-Splat Bomb Launcher
(Seekers + Seeker Rush)
I’d be cool to have a splattershot jr that is mobile and can control an area with a bomb rush. I didn’t give it curling launcher because I’m trying to keep with splatoon 2’s convention of a kit’s launcher never being the same bomb as its sub.

Crafty Splattershot
[Primarily orange and purple recolor]
-Splash Wall
-Inkstorm
(Splash Wall + Killer Wail)
This weapon was made to try and hold choke points and aid allies in pushes.

Tricky Splattershot Pro
[Primarily turquoise and dark blue recolor]
-Sprinkler
-Splashdown
(Sprinkler + Kraken)
This weapon, while rather ink-hungry, grants a decent panic button for escapes or fending off an attacker. The sprinkler aids in charging this special so that people need to be careful about trying to get the drop on you.

Rook Jet Squelcher
[Black recolor]
-Point Sensors
-Ink Armor
(Point Sensors + Bubbler)
This set was meant to aid those who like to bully players out of territory and lay suppressing fire. It also aids the team with the point sensors in addition to helping its own aim. The ink armor would allow for escape/survival or help your team capitalize on an advantage.

Knight Dualie (Dual) Squelchers
[White recolor]
-Ink Mines
-Inkjet
(Ink Mines + Inkzooka)
This weapon can use its mines to keep turf and locate flankers, then pick them off with its fire. In addition, the inkjet provides a way to help push into enemy territory. If successful, ink mines can be placed on the front lines to further aid yourself and your team.

Tentacles Splat Roller
[Branded by the “Tentacles” sports team logo (as seen on the Tentacles Helmet in Splatoon 1)]
-Point Sensors
-Bubble Blower
(Point Sensors + Bubbler)
This weapon can be used to support teammates, as well as locate enemies to catch them off-guard or sneak up on them. The bubble blower can help shield your team or capture turf. This is a very support-based roller, which I was interested in after playing the corocoro roller in splatoon 1.

Gastro Splat Charger
[Blue (in splatoon 1; I guess to look different in this game it would have to be green!) and has little sea slug ornament on top of the barrel]
-Curling Bombs
-Burst Bomb Launcher
(Burst Bombs + Inkzooka)
This weapon was originally meant to be equipped with a weapon for any range; however burst bombs on a charger has been universally panned as too OP and I can understand why. So for the sake of balance I would give it curling bombs. Colliding with someone can get in some chip damage, and if you know someone is approaching you can cook a bomb to KO at close range! The burst bomb launcher could be used as a panic button at short range, and also tossed long-range to finish off people who you may have almost-killed with a less than full charge. In addition to the obvious use of capturing turf, of course.

I realized that there are a few weapons that I left out of my original post on this thread, so I'm going to quick add them to my list. As before, these are just for speculation. Nothing concrete or anything.

• Splat Brella - Toxic Mist/Bubble Blower
• Tenta Brella - Burst Bomb or Curling Bomb/Ink Storm
• Undercover Brella - Curling Bomb or Point Sensor/Baller

Also keep in mind, I am not thinking about a Sheldon's Picks sets for weapons that already have a third alternative. Sorry Splattershot and Heavy Splatling, but you've already had your moment in the sun. Now it's someone else's turn!

 

[Lonely_Dolphin]

I'm hoping for the Soda Sloshers return as it looks purtyful, along with a kit of Ink Mine + Bubble Blower. Beyond that I'll just wait and see what Nintendo's gonna do.

 

[Dark Sage Walker]

Judging by the idea that it was said that just about every weapon from the first game would make a return, I am assuming that the Soda Slosher will return along with the first two volumes of Sheldon's Picks. But only time will really tell.

 

[supgamer76]

this might be op, but the regular charger/spatterscope with point sensor.

 

[Cephalobro]

Honestly an NZap with Splat Bombs and Sting Ray would be something I hope for, or maybe that's just me wanting a shooter that shuts down surprise attackers while also hitting snipers from a safe distance.

 

[Enperry]

Instant Tenta Brella
Sub: Ink Mine
Special: Baller

Berry Splat Dualies (How cool would these look :D)
Sub: Splat Bomb
Special: Baller

There is already a Sheldon's Picks N-Zap. In Splatoon one, it was the N-Zap 83. If it does come back in this game (please see my previous comment for more on that) then perhaps it will have the set you are dreaming of. Or perhaps not. Only time will tell of course!
