Nintendo unveils Splatoon’s final weapons from Sheldon’s Picks Vol.2
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Screenshots, Wii U | 3 Comments
Nintendo has introduced the final two weapons for Sheldon’s Picks Vol.2 in Splatoon. Today, we have images and information about the Aerospray PG and Heavy Splatling Remix.
Here are some new screenshots:
And the rundown of both weapons:
Aerospray PG
The Aerospray PG is best described as a little update to the Aerospray MG that Sheldon built from his grandpappy’s blueprints. No matter how you describe it, it’s definitely a hand-crafted work of art. Burst Bombs help claim turf and the Kraken crushes enemy defenses.
Heavy Splatling Remix
Meet the Heavy Splatling Remix. It’s not a remix to your favorite headbanger – It’s, uh, a remixed version of the Heavy Splatling. Warm up the crowd with the Sprinkler sub and then drown ‘em out with the devastating Killer Wail for an encore.

Splatoon will be adding Sheldon’s Picks Vol.2 in just a few days. Nintendo is continuing to show off weapons that are coming to the game with screenshots and details.
Here are a few screenshots showing the Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose, CoroCoro Splat Roller, and Sploosh-o-matic 7:
And overviews of each:
Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose
Check out the super sweet Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose. The Splash Wall sub weapon lets you leverage the great range of the main, while the Bubbler is perfect for turning the tables in a pinch.
As Sheldon puts it: “It’s super cute with its fruity color scheme and cherry-themed sticker!”
