| Sheldon's Introduction TheSplattershot Pro was developed for more advanced users by the team behind theSplattershot! Use thePoint Sensor to reveal opponents, and then blast them with the incredible precision and range of themain weapon! Its fire rate andink efficiency aren't the best, but you can cover your teammates with anInk Storm! I'd recommend this weapon to players who have a lot of faith in their accuracy and positioning! |

Quotes
| Sheldon's Introduction TheSplattershot Pro was developed for more advanced users by the same team that brought you theSplattershot! And here's a "pro" strategy for using it - deploy theAngle Shooter to limit your opponent's movement, then take advantage of the Pro's accuracy and range to splat 'em from downtown. Of course, sometimes you just want to crush your enemies with a crustacean, and that's where theCrab Tank comes in. Putting it all together is easier said than done, but this setup is built for players who dare to dream. |
