Nintendo Switch, Splatoon 2 July 14, 2017 by JTYAKU 0 comments

Here’s a detailed run-down of two new Weapon types coming to Splatoon 2 – Crash Blaster and Variable Roller.

These weapons will be included with the upcoming retail release on 7/21.

For a re-cap of Special Weapons thus far, check out our previous posts here.

Crash Blaster

The Crash Blaster will be best suited for players who like to pressure their opponents with quick bursts of damage. You’ll need an able teammate to land the finishing blow after wearing down your enemy with this weapon. The Crash Blaster will likely have some stopping power trait judging by the Tweet below.

This is the 「Crash Blaster」。
The newly developed Crayon Mold allows for a solid catalyst, injected with shavings of mixed up ink – together with its explosiveness and super fast rapid fire comes a new type of Blaster.
It’s range is relatively short, and one bullet doesn’t do much damage. However, you can easily pressure an opponent with the nimble strength of it’s rapid fire.

Variable Roller

The Roller gets a massive upgrade with this new functionality, which allows players to switch between Horizontal and Vertical swipes. Need to paint some serious Ink? Throw down a Vertical shot. Enemy player has the jump on you? Horizontal will blast them away.

This is the 「Variable Roller」。
The modification mechanism makes this a new type of Roller.
Waving vertically is slow and does little damage, but you can paint a broader span of area.
Waving horizontally has a short range but, it’s really fast and does a lot of damage.
You’ll have to master both – wave vertically to bring opponents into the open, then wave horizontally to quickly take them out.
