Inkoming Weapon: Luna Blaster!

Inkoming weapon squids and kids; get ready to blow the competition away with the latest and greatest in Splating technology: the Luna Blaster!

"The Luna Blaster is a specialized shooter that can unleash explosive power at close range! Its rate of fire is good, and its blasts cover a wide area, but you'll need the Inkzooka to hit far-off foes. Oh, and the Ink Mines can really make a difference in the right hands, so this set is perfect for veterans!" - Sheldon Owner Of Ammo Knights

Can't wait

 

I love how they announce the updates the day of the release. Don't have to wait a day or two, just a few hours!

 

Blasters are already ridiculously powerful at close range. We don't need one that deals EVEN MORE damage!

 

Argh, man between DMC4, Batman, and now this, what do I play today?

 

I used the Blasters often recently so im looking forward to that one

 

Nintendo just be pumpin' out these new weapons!

 

Argh, man between DMC4, Batman, and now this, what do I play today?

Splatoon, bruh.

 

I'm surprised they haven't made Shooters and Blasters separate weapon categories by now.

 

A blaster weapon as dlc....i wonder if it will be better or worse than the blasters we have now

 

I think we need more barbs.

 

Space weapons! This should be cool

 

I like how nintendo is giving a steady trail of new stages/weapons. About once a week we've got something. Keep it coming!

 

Euhg, Ink Mines are ALRIGHT but I think this would be better off with a burst bomb for dealing with mid-range enemies.
Granted that's probably why it got the mines, hahaha. Anyway it looks sweet, I'm giving it a go.

 

Wow that's a nice looking blaster

 

Aww, it looks so cute! Can't wait to try it out.

 

Looks like fun.

 

While I don't like Blasters for being pretty slow, I can see how people can use this one to essentially ruin the other team's day. The Ink Mines and Inkzooka must certainly help cover for the weapon's weakness.

 

• Just started using blasters today so this was a nice surprise and this one felt really good. I love the spacey type design as well.
