Sheldon’s Notes

The Heavy Splatling is similar to a charger, but it belongs to a whole new weapon class. Hold ZR to compress your ink, and release to let fly a stream of ink bombs. It uses a huge amount of ink and takes a while to charge, leaving you exposed in the meantime. Use the Sprinkler to keep a route open as you prepare a death blow with the Sting Ray. Stake your claim as king of the ink-splatted hill with attack time that’ll make charger users jealous!

Tips

The Heavy Splatling takes a while to fully charge, so avoid close-quarter duels. Provide support from a safe distance. This weapon has surprising range; splat opponents before they pose a threat with shorter-range weapons.
When ink coverage matters, pan the weapon from side to side while dispensing a fully charged shot. Tap ZR to fire single shots, handy for applying touch-ups.
Stick the Sprinkler on vertical walls above high-traffic areas. Opponents are less likely to spot it when it’s above them.
