Splatoon 2 eGuide Weapons & Gear Weapons

Hero Weapons

Have you visited Octo Canyon? If not, there are some bonus weapons waiting for you. The Hero weapons used during the Octo Canyon adventure can be unlocked and used in multiplayer, but first you must receive each weapon in the single-player campaign from Sheldon. He needs you to test them so he can gather research data. After you receive a weapon from Sheldon, complete all 27 lairs and all five boss battles to unlock it for multiplayer Ink Battles. For the most part, Hero weapons are identical to their multiplayer counterparts, but with slight cosmetic differences. However, the Hero Shot and Hero Brella are unique. Here’s a rundown of each Hero weapon and where you can find it.
