Once again, a new weapon is coming to Splatoon 2. Tomorrow, the Classic Squiffer will be available to purchase from Sheldon. Assuming it hasn’t changed that much from the first game, the Classic Squiffer is a charger with a comparatively short range, but a fast charge time and low ink usage. It’ll come with the point sensor sub-weapon and the Ink Armor special.

A new weapon is being added to Splatoon 2 tonight in North America, and tomorrow in Europe. The Splat Brella is the first of its kind of weapon to be available in the game. Previously, unlike with other weapon, you did not receive the Hero Brella Replica for beating all singleplayer stages with it. It’s likely that this will now work once the Splat Brella has been added. The Splat Brella comes with the Sprinkler sub-weapon and the Ink Storm special.

Nintendo posted a video yesterday showing a speedrun of the “Octozeppelin Invasion” level in Splatoon 2’s single-player campaign. The stage was completed in just over a minute using a variety of techniques. It’s pretty impressive, to say the least.

We also may as well mention here that Nintendo has issued a new Splatoon 2 wallpaper on its Japanese website. You can access it here.

Thanks to KobobKC for the tip.
