Splatoon – N-ZAP ’89, Octobrush weapons out now
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Nintendo has been regularly adding new content to Splatoon, and today is no different. Two new weapons are now available in the game. Players can get their hands on the N-ZAP ’89 in addition to the Octobrush.
Here’s the overview of the N-ZAP ’89:
Ah yes, the N-ZAP ’89. This is quite simply an N-ZAP ’85 that was redesigned for… well, definitely not legal reasons. No siree. Nothing to see here. Lawyers definitely did not have anything to do with this. It includes a Sprinkler to rapidly increase your turf, allowing you to fire off remarkably fast Inkstrikes! This set is excellent at striking where the foe least expects it. Good for lone wolves and those nostalgic for the good ol’ days!
And the Octobrush:
Need a brush that packs a powerful punch? The Octobrush is a brush with denser bristles that fling even more ink with each swipe! Use that mobility to scatter Squid Beakons everywhere, giving your whole team free rein of the battlefield! No need to hesitate—you can always use the Kraken to run away in a pinch. Your team will love you!
Footage of today’s weapons can be seen below.
