TheOctobrush is amain weapon in theSplatoon series.

Classified as abrush, when is pressed, it flicks weak, short-rangedink in front of the user, which can be done repeatedly at a fast rate to ink turf or splat opponents. If is held while moving, the user pushes the Octobrush along the ground, leaving a thin trail of ink as the user runs at a fast speed.

Compared to theInkbrush, the Octobrush has a slightly wider ink trail when running and more range, damage, and painted turf with each swing than the Inkbrush at the cost of higher ink consumption and slower movement and swing speed.

Appearance

The Octobrush's handle is dark brown varnished wood with an antique look, with a small octopus-shaped ink reservoir carved out of it. The wood is more smooth and varnished inSplatoon 3, prior to that it is rougher and darker. The ink reservoir has a tube that changes color to match the user's ink attached to its head, leading to the bristles. The way the handle is carved gives the appearance of the octopus holding the brush's handle, while the actual handle used by the wielder is attached underneath it, and has a gold cap. Like theInkbrush, the Octobrush has an ink splotch on the end of its bristles that changes color to match the user's ink, and disappears while the wielder is out of ink. Unlike the Inkbrush, the Octobrush's bristles are white and arranged in a flat rectangular shape.

    The Octobrush returns inSplatoon 3, now classified as a separatebrush class. Its kit isSuction Bombs and theZipcaster. Its wood is more saturated and slightly lighter, and with a new golden tip at the bottom of the brush.

    It appears in four missions inReturn of the Mammalians:

    Data

    • The Octobrush is amiddleweight weapon.
    • The matchmaking range is 10.5. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
    • Ink consumption per second while sliding is 9%.
    • While sliding, the player's movement speed is set to 0.168 units per frame.
    • After sliding, there is a 30 frame second cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
    • Hitting an opponent while sliding deals 25 damage.
    • While sliding, the Octobrush leaves an ink trail that is 1.8 units wide.

    Flinging ink

    • The ink consumption of 3% allows players to attack 33 times before needing to refill the ink supply.
    • When attacking, it takes 1 frame to start swinging the brush.
    • The weapon can be swung every 10 frames (6 times per second).
    • When attacking while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.03 units per frame.

    Quotes

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    TheOctobrush has dense bristles that fling a thick stream ofink with each slash. It's a heavier entry in thebrushweapon class, which is known for being light and nimble. But even with those heavy brush strokes, you won't be able to reach everywhere - and that's where theSuction Bombs come in. Lastly, if you're up against enemies with ranged weapons who just won't engage up close, you've got theZipcaster in your back pocket. Zip on over and give 'em what for! This is a user-friendly loadout that's easy for beginner brushes but capable enough for true artistes!

    “TheOctobrush is a work of art itself, crafted from the finest wood and fitted with bristles hand selected for massive ink retention. As you'd expect, it splashes hard and far but uses lots of ink with each stroke. Still, even as a scientist, I know a masterpiece when I see one.”
    — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[8]
    “A Thick, Heavy-Hitting Brush
    A brush with dense bristles that can hold a lot of ink. Its slower swings and somewhat heavier ink consumption are made up for with high range, power, and swing-for-swing ink coverage.    		”
