[SPOILERS] Unlockable Weapons in Splatoon 2 Revealed!

[Danku]

I'm currently wondering with our Squiffer, Sloshing Machine, Hydra Splatling, Bamboozler, and Sploosh-o-Matic have gone. I was thinking that this Friday might be the Hero Brella release because we have no more "new" weapons to release, but then I remembered those 5 weren't in the data files. The Dualie Squelchers weren't in the datamining either, but I'm still kinda worried for them. I hope they get added eventually.

. . . Nothing ;0 it might be an updated list of weapons+kits, who knows?

The HD Hydra and Sloshine look so nice. Looks like standard Sloshine is going to be an anti-charger/camper, and the Neo Sloshine will be the aggressive version. Standard Hydra looks to be an aggressive support wep, and Custom Hydra looks like it'll play the charger roll. Im glad Burst Bomb Launcher will be a thing, but I'm sad that the Sorella Brella is just a Splat Brella variant and not a second type of Brella. :/

GIVE ME THOSE CUSTOM DUALIE SQUELCHERS. I NEED IT TO LIVE. Inking with reach and providing ink armor at a good clip sounds delicious.

I like the Squiffers. Classic Squiffer with the buffed Point Sensors and Ink Armor sounds really cool, and the New Squiffer with Autobomb and Baller looks handy too.

Considering that people seem to think the Dualie Squelchers and Ink Armor separately are overpowered I don't think it's going to make the cut...

i havent seen many complaints about Dualie Squelchers. have you?

Neither have I, aside from them being the flavor of the day due to being new. They're the most balanced of the long-range shooters, kinda always were.

I've seen a handful, although using it myself a lot, I think it's fine. Unless you roll, your shots are going to be quite inaccurate, but in the end I find it to be a great spacing weapon with good mobility against close range weapons.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me the Sloshing Machine and Hydra Splatling got reworked/buffed. Like...p l e a s e. i wanted to bad to like those weapons in splatoon 1 but there was NO reason to use them over the Slosher and Heavy Splatling. :/

You're kidding, right? Maybe I'm biased because I know an incredibly skilled Hydra main, but that weapon was a beast with it's 3-hit kill that outranges most weapons. I might poke him and have him come over here to elaborate :P

 

[Danku]

that weapon was a beast with it's 3-hit kill

wait, what? Did it get buffed? I couldve sworn it was a 4 hit splat.

 

[Dessgeega]

Yep, it does 35 damage per hit now when within range, which is a huge improvement.

Sweet christ. GIVE ME THE HYDRA SPLATLING NOW! It's all I could've asked for. That's great, I'm totally gonna mess around with the Hydra in this game now for sure.

 

[Dessgeega]

That said, I agree with you about the sloshing machine. It's a blaster on an arc, but there's already a great many blasters, sooooo...

Yeah....the Sloshine was just in an unfortunate spot. It had a smaller hitbox than the Slosher, it had less ink coverage, it was a 2 hit splat regardless just like the Slosher, it had less ink efficiency, and it only had a whopping 3% extra range over the Slosher. It was a weapon you'd use if you liked the design (and splat bomb rush :p), but not much else imo. I hope they give it a charge rework. As in, it can still do it's normal "sloshes" from the first game with quick taps, but if you hold down the button it'll charge up an insta splat shot. And give it a tad bit more range so it doesnt seem like a Slosher clone. Now that I think about it, it would function a lot like the new Rainmaker, except it would instantly explode on impact with the ground, but not as dramatically.

And to add insult to injury, they gave it the Sting Ray. Autobombs, sure, great, but unless they're confident they buffed the Sloshing Machine considerably, that's just a slap in the face.

Then again, the Rapid Blaster is much more viable now, so maybe that's exactly what they did.

It seems like the standard Sloshing Machine is gonna be a camper/charger's worst enemy. Shoot from indefinite distance with the Sting Ray and harass them regardless of cover, and bully them with Autobombs. I like the idea a lot (because i DONT like chargers. ;p) I just hope the Sting Ray and Sloshine are buffed by the time they come out, though. I kinda want it to be able to actually DO it's job.

I'm just hoping for a Stingray buff down the line to make the special more reliable like most of the other specials currently. Like it has potential but it's really lacking in some areas.
