New trailer showcasing a bucket weapon and gataling gun!

[DonkaFjord]

Actually they're entirely new weapon types, buckets are "BigBall" weapons (internally, chargers shooters and rollers have their own class), and the Gatling guns are exactly that. Leftovers from dev have BigBall_Strong, BigBall_Diffusion, BigBall_Launcher, Gatling_Standard, and Gatling_Hyper. I'm betting that those two are the first ones in the list, BigBall_Strong, and Gatling_Standard. Makes sense to hide the ones that'd shake things up. See: http://pastie.org/pastes/10310878/text

It said in the text for the Gatling Guns that they are a type of charger. Also SUB CATEGORY FOR CHARGERS CONFIRMED!!!!!!

They definitely seem to be Charger related due to the winking and literal start up time.

Also the buckets sound like a cross of the function and power of blaster type weapons with the nozzlenose type weapons when they are described as throwing out "balls" of ink but no rapid fire. The one that throws out 3 splashes simultaneously sounds cool and I wonder if they will have less range than blasters but not have a sweetspot/damage will be pretty even throughout most of the splash.

I somehow doubt it, unless they've renamed it since then. Even sub-classes are differently named. EG Roller_Brush (brushes) and Shot_Triple (nozzlenoses) and Shot_Exp (blasters).

The bucket will be the troll weapon of Splatoon.


In other news, Mr. Game and Watch wants his bucket back :(

No, no, I meant in how they will function. I know the buckets are definitely not blasters haha.

My friend on Twitch linked me the video as soon as it came out an I was like (~￣▽￣)~ O YES ALL THE SPLATOON GUDS

Those are very cool weapons, I cannot wait! (First I gotta afford the weapons we already have.. @.@)

 

[Calamari]

The buckets are called Sloshers and the gatlings are called Splatlings.

 

[Misha]

I never play with Gatling gun before ( or bucket for that matter). I cant wait to try them out once they come out.

 

[Ars Nova]

Both weapons look like a lot of fun particularly the gatling gun.

 

[Achamo]

The Ink Brush will forever be my lover, but I REALLY wanna try out that bucket!
It could potentially be a 2nd main!

Another creative weapon, just like the brush!
And hopefully it also requires effort to make good use of it, just like the brush!
...I like working hard.. It feels rewarding in the end when it all turns out great~<3

I'm really looking forward to see more info on these weapons! Looks like they're really getting creative and I like that.

 

[Sharpzz]

Gatling gun looks like a heavy defence weapon and if it has good range it can control areas well just like sniper chargers. I'm interested to see how accurate it is though

 

[Ika Ink-finite]

The gatling gun may be useful in Urchin Underpass, Moray Towers and Camp Triggerfish in terms of range.

My own question: What in the heck is that gold dragon head at the very end of that trailer? Feel like I'm missing something here.

Also....bucket. Heck with guns, just give me that thing.

The gold dragon head is exclusive to the rainmaker mode we're getting.

As for these new weapons, I'm looking forward to the gatling gun just slightly more than the bucket, but what are the chances that when they're released I'll prefer the bucket more?

 

[DonkaFjord]

Bucket all the way! But I want to try both regardless.

The gold dragon head is the Rainmaker. It shoots Inkzooka shots after a bit of charging up (at least I think so; it looked like it was charging up at the end of that trailer, but I could be wrong).
Also, after finding out the Splatling is a charger-type weapon, my hype for it has fallen. Hopefully I'm wrong about it, because I want to like this one, but if it's a "charge, then release to shoot ink rapidly for a set period"-type weapon instead of a "wind up, then shoot continuously while holding ZR"-type weapon like I initially expected, I'm not sure I'll enjoy using it (though I thought the same thing about the Nozzlenose, but I ended up liking it after a while).
Still, the bucket looks good, I think I'll enjoy it.

To be more specific, it's a Shachihoko, a fish with the head of a tiger. According to Japanese folklore it can cause rainfall, and temples are often adorned with gold Shachihoko statues on the roofs.

Huh, the more you know. Loving the influence for that actually.
