Sheldon’s Notes

The .52 Gal is a heavy hitter with an extra-large nozzle for shooting massive amounts of ink. It’s powerful but slow, so it’s important to be aware of your surroundings. Lucky for you, it comes with the Point Sensor sub! The included Baller is great for drawing attention, so this set is recommended for players who like to control the flow of the battle.

Tips

  • The .52 Gal excels at objective modes like Splat Zones, Rainmaker, and Tower Control. It takes two shots to splat opponents—a great choice for offensive-minded players.
  • Toss Point Sensors along high-traffic routes leading out of the opposing team’s spawn point. This makes it easy to track opponents as they move toward an objective.
  • Lead attacks with the Baller, and watch enemies flee. Use this tactic to chase opponents away from Splat Zones. Detonate the Baller in the center of the zone to claim it for your team.
