As the beginner weapon, the Splattershot Jr. appropriately has a quick firing rate, a high ink efficiency, and high shot spread, which enables its user to quicklyink large territories. Its loadout always includes both an offensive option and a strong defensive option. Since version3.2.0 ofSplatoon 2, it is also the first weapon to feature a uniqueink tank.
The Splattershot Jr. is a blocky squirt gun, the main part of which changes color to match the user's ink. The gun has a large rectangular prism for a body, with another rectangular prism, this one much smaller, extending down to serve as a handhold. The inside angle between the two prisms houses a purple trigger. On the end of the main prism facing away from the user is a stocky, square-shaped funnel with a short purple nozzle on the end, and on top of it is a purple cap connected to the body by two small trapezoidal prisms. Inside the gun, there is a dip tube that connects the bottom of the trigger handhold to the nozzle. The Splattershot Jr.'s body is translucent inSplatoon andSplatoon 3, while it is opaque inSplatoon 2. In the first game only, the Splattershot Jr. is mottled gray around the edges.
InSplatoon 2, the Splattershot Jr. and its variants also replace the user's standardink tank with one resembling baby bottles. It has a rounded rectangular shape and a round cap. For the Splattershot Jr., a yellow tag bearing the "Jr. Mark" symbol seen on theBasic Tee is attached around the bottle's neck.
