Update: Bumped to the top. Final two weapons are below.

Refurbished Mini Splatling

No prawn shop jokes please! The Refurbished Mini Splatling is made from the remains of a tragically destroyed Mini Splatling…It features Burst Bombs as the sub weapon and packs a Bomb Rush as its special. That’s a lot of inkage happening in a hurry! Sheldon recommends this one for splatters who wanna leave everyone and everything in sight dripping with ink!

Tempered Dynamo Roller

Meet the Tempered Dynamo Roller. This heavy-weight roller gained mobility to quickly run up to the front lines by adding the Seeker as a sub weapon. The quiet but tasteful color tone might lull your opponents into a sense of security before BAM! Killer Wail! Pile on the pressure!

Nintendo has highlighted two more upcoming Splatoon inclusions from Sheldon’s Picks Vol. 1, a set of eight weapons being added to the game tomorrow evening.

Here’s the rundown on the Soda Slosher and Bamboozler 14 Mk III:

Soda Slosher

The Soda Slosher is based on a regular ol’ Slosher, but with some adjustments to the setup. Splat Bombs support the basic strategy, and the addition of the Inkzooka provides ranged power lacking in other models. And the bucket colors are pretty sweet too. Just sayin’.

Bamboozler 14 Mk III

According to Sheldon, this set REDEFINES what it means to be a Bamboozler! Do you think you’re ready? The Bamboozler 14 Mk III takes the Mk I and swaps out the barrel for a different bamboo pipe. This set’s selling point is how the main weapon and the Burst Bombs can really hammer your opponent! That’s not to mention the Inkstrike, which can make life difficult for even far-off enemies.

Screenshots of the Soda Slosher and Bamboozler 14 Mk III are posted below. Details and screenshots for four other weapons are located here, along with the Splatoon version 2.7.0 patch notes.

When the patch is made available, players will be able to turn down the auto scroll speed or turn it off entirely. PixlBit Studios is also adding button control, am option to turn off error detection, and the ability to go through puzzles on the television. Loading times are also being improved.

We’ll let you know as soon as the update goes live.
