TheHeavy Splatling is amain weapon in theSplatoon series, produced byDeco.

It is capable of firing bursts of ink with long range, low damage, and a fast fire rate. Although relatively slow to charge, each ink bullet does enough damage to splat opponents in four hits.

Appearance

The Heavy Splatling varies in appearance between games. InSplatoon, the Heavy Splatling consists of multiple black barrels with orange supports connected to a large water jug that changes color to match the user's ink. InSplatoon 2, the barrels are less blocky, the supports are yellow, and the water jug is at a diagonal angle instead of being completely horizontal. InSplatoon 3, the supports are pink and gray, and a support was added to the water jug.

The Heavy Splatling was made available with the2.0.0 update on6 August 2015 at02:00 UTC.[1] Its set consists ofSplash Wall andInkstrike.

Data

  • The Heavy Splatling is amiddleweight weapon.
  • A full charge consumes 22.5% of the ink tank capacity.
    • This allows players to fully charge 4 times before needing to refill the ink tank.
    • This stat can be changed withInk Saver (Main).
  • The Heavy Splatling cannot store its charge.
  • The Heavy Splatling is not rechargeable while firing.
  • When charging the weapon, it will take 50 frames in order to charge its first ring and 75 frames in total for a full charge.
  • With a single ring charged, it will have a firing duration of 72 frames. With a full charge, it will have a firing duration of 144 frames.
  • When charging with an empty tank, the charge time is multiplied by 4.
  • When firing, it shoots a bullet every 4 frames.
  • When firing, the player's movement speed is set to 0.7 units per frame.
    • When charging, the player's movement speed is set to 0.55 units per frame.
  • After firing, there is a 40 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
  • Each shot has a base damage of 28.
  • Shots travel straight for 8 frames. After that, they may lose damage.
  • Shots have a radius of 2 units.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 3.5 degrees.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 7 degrees.
  • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. The outer reticle will finish shrinking after 45 frames.
  • The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle increases by 2% per shot, and maximizes at a 30% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle.
    • This means that it takes 15 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
  • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 30%.
  • Accuracy starts recovering 4 frames after the player stops shooting.
  • Within the first charge ring, initial shot velocity scales from 10.5 to 21 units per frame. Within the second charge ring, initial shot velocity is always 21 units per frame. Shots travel straight at the initial velocity for 8 frames. At maximum charge, shots travel straight for 168 distance units.
  • Ink droplets occur every 200 units.
  • The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1 droplets per shot.
  • There are a total of 8 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.

Sheldon's Introduction

TheHeavy Splatling is kind of similar to acharger, but it belongs to awhole new weapon class! HoldZR to pressurize the ink, and then release it to splatterize your foes like DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!! But it uses a lot of ink and takes a while to charge, so this weapon can leave you exposed. Using theSplash Wall to impede your foes before unleashing anInkstrike can be rather effective!(NA)

Charge it up and let 'em have it with all six barrels! A maximum charge will unleash the full rapid-fire potential of this weapon.
— In-Game Description
This baby packs six barrels full of ink. Charge it up and let your enemies have it! Need some cover? Not a problem. Throw down yourSplash Wall! This bad boy also comes with theInkzookaInkstrike (Sorry squidfriends, I am too excited to read properly) as a special weapon. It might just be the best weapon for squids that have watched too many 80's action movies!

    The Heavy Splatling returns inSplatoon 2 with a new design, the main differences being a tilted drum and it being primarily yellow instead of orange.[3] Its set consists ofSprinkler andSting Ray.

    It appears in threeOcto Expansion stations:

    Data

    • WhileMain Power Up increases the number of shots fired, it does not increase theink consumption relative to the amount charged, making the weapon comparatively more ink efficient.
    • The Heavy Splatling is amiddleweight weapon.
    • The matchmaking range is 210. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
    • The full charge ink consumption of 22.5% and ink tank capacity of 100% allows players to fully charge 4 times before needing to refill the ink tank.
    • The Heavy Splatling cannot store its charge.
    • The Heavy Splatling is not rechargeable while firing.
    • When charging the weapon, it will take 50 frames in order to charge its first ring and 75 frames in total for a full charge.
    • With a single ring charged, it will have a firing duration of 72 frames. With a full charge, it will have a firing duration of 144 frames.
    • When charging with an empty tank, the charge time is multiplied by 4.
    • When firing, it shoots a bullet every 4 frames.
    • When firing, the player's movement speed is set to 0.7 units per frame.
      • When charging, the player's movement speed is set to 0.62 units per frame.
    • After firing, there is a 40 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
    • Each shot has a base damage of 30.
    • If a shot is in the air for more than 11 frames after being fired, it loses 1.875 damage per frame until it reaches 15 damage at frame 19.
    • Shots have a radius of 2 units.
    • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 3.3 degrees.
    • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 7 degrees.
    • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
    • The Heavy Splatling has a 30% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
    • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 30%.
    • Within the first charge ring, initial shot velocity scales from 10.5 to 21 units per frame. Within the second charge ring, initial shot velocity is always 21 units per frame. Shots travel straight at the initial velocity for 8 frames.
      • So at maximum charge, shots travel straight at a rate of 21 units per frame for 8 frames. Shots travel straight for 168 distance units.
    • After shots stop flying straight, the velocity is set to 15.105 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
    • Ink droplets occur every 200 units.
    • The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1 droplets per shot.
    • There are a total of 8 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
    • Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 18 units, and a width of 0 units.
      • These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.6 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.28 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
    • Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 17 units.
    • All other ink droplets have a radius of 12.6 units.
    • Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.6 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.6 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
    • If no ink droplets have occurred within 11 units of the player for 0 shots, the next shot the player makes will force a paint droplet to appear at the player's feet.

    Sheldon's Introduction

    The mechanics of theHeavy Splatling are similar to those of a charger, but it's in a weapon class of its own! Hold down to compress your ink, and then release to unleash a fat stream of ink! Each charge uses a huge amount of ink, and charging it leaves you exposed for a while. If you use theSprinkler well, you can keep a route open as you prepare to deal a death blow with theSting Ray! This Splatling cannon's power will make even charger users jealous!

    The Heavy Splatling returns inSplatoon 3 with a slightly updated design, with its primary color being changed to pink. Its set consists ofSprinkler andWave Breaker.

    It appears in two missions inReturn of the Mammalians:

    Data

    • The Heavy Splatling is amiddleweight weapon.
    • The matchmaking range is 21. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
    • The full charge ink consumption is 22.5%, allowing the user to fully charge 4.44 times on a full ink tank.
    • The Heavy Splatling cannot store its charge.
    • It takes 48 frames to charge the first circle (0.8 seconds) and 72 frames to fully charge (1.2 seconds).
      • When airborne or low on ink, it takes 192 frames to charge the first circle (3.2 seconds) and 288 frames to fully charge (4.8 seconds).
    • The Heavy Splatling is not rechargeable while firing.
    • When charged to the first circle, the weapon will fire for 80 frames (1.33 seconds), and when fully charged, it will fire for 160 frames (2.67 seconds).
      • The firing duration is 1.67 times longer than the charging duration when charged to the first circle and 2.22 times longer when fully charged.
    • When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 4 frames (15 shots per second).
    • When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.07 units per frame.
      • When charging, the player's movement speed is set to 0.062 units per frame.
    • After firing, there is a 40 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
    • Each shot has a base damage of 30, regardless of charge level.
      • Each shot has a minimum damage of 15.
    • If a shot is in the air for more than 11 frames after being fired, it will lose about 1.88 damage every frame until it reaches 15 damage at frame 19.
    • The bullet hitbox for collisions with players has a radius of 0.225 units.
    • The bullet hitbox for collisions with the environment has a radius of 0.2 units.
    • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 3.3 degrees.
    • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 7.0 degrees.
    • The Heavy Splatling has a 30% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
    • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
    • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 30%.
    • Initial shot velocity scales with charge level. At minimum charge, it is 1.05 units per frame, and at once charge circle or more, it is 2.1 units per frame. Shots travel straight for 8 frames, regardless of charge level.
      • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 1.5105 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and it loses 36% of its speed every frame (including the first frame after it stops traveling straight). Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed less and fall faster.
    • Effective range scales from 10 units to 19.01 units, depending on charge level.
      • This number may vary at different firing angles.

    Sheldon's Introduction

    The mechanics of theHeavy Splatling are similar to those of acharger, but it's in aweapon class of its own! Hold down to compress yourink, and then release to unleash a monster stream! Now, as you might expect, each charge takes a while to get ready and uses a huge amount of ink, leaving you wide-open while you wait. That's why theSprinkler is a greatsub weapon here. It'll help your turf stay inked and keep a little distance between you and your enemies. The pro move is to fire up yourWave Breaker to expose enemy locations while the Heavy Splatling charges up. Then it's open season from way downtown! With power like this, even enemies with chargers will be jelly!

    Speaking of heavy, how about theHeavy Splatling? The new model offers a frame to support thetank and valves, making it easier to refill. Because you know how expensive printerink is, right? Well, this ink costs- Whoa. I don't actually know how much. I smell a research grant!
