Quotes
| Sheldon's Introduction TheJet Squelcher has boosted pump pressure to give it a range that rivals charger weapons! Use that range to safely splat opponents caught in yourToxic Mist. The main weapon's attack power is on the weaker side, but you've gotTenta Missiles, and it's great for cleaning up the leftovers! Keep moving forward as you splat your opponents! Recommended for players who know when to push and when to hold their ground! |

| Sheldon's Introduction TheJet Squelcher has boosted pump pressure to give it a range that rivalschargerweapons! Like other weapons with extreme range, it doesn't offer much in the way of power. But when combined with theAngle Shootersub, your enemies won't know what hit 'em. Because you'll be SO far away! Add the Ink Vac to the mix to suck up incoming offensives, and you have a loadout that's perfect for cool, calculating players who play it safe. |
