A new weapon has made its first appearance in Splatoon 2. Specifically, the Grizzco Blaster has shown up in the newest rotation for Salmon Run.

We’re hearing that the Grizzco Blaster appears randomly in Salmon Run matches. It has the label “Rare Weapon”. While it has a massive fire rate, ink is consumed very quickly. Note that weapons can stack and switch between waves.

Here’s some footage:
