Towards the end of last month Nintendo revealed that Splatoon 2's weapon distribution system would be changing, and sticking to its word, the game is about to receive four brand new weapons in one big tasty dollop of content. Here goes...
The four weapons in question are the Custom Dual Squelcher, Rapid Blaster Elite Deco, Undercover Brella, and Carbon Roller Deco. You can get a good look at each one in these handy images below.
These should all be going live on Thursday evening in North America, with an early Friday morning release expected in Europe. In addition to this, the turn of the month means that May's X-Ranking will be closed, with a brand new league about to start from the 1st June.
Will you be diving back into Splatoon 2 to try out all of the new weapons? Are there any that stand out to you in particular? As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Another Rapid Blaster.
My favourite.
I've been using dualie squelchers lately but wish they had a different sub than point sensor. I use custom rapid blaster for TC so I'm interested in seeing what the elite's kit is like. Booyah!
Mmmh, so no new weapons, only variations of old one?
Oh, well, that's not too bad, there's already a lot of weapons, and variations can be enjoyable.
Nice, a new Carbon Roller. Where's my new Tenta Brella though? Also, do you know what the sets are?
No doubt my daughter will get these but I’ll stick with my tried and trusted splat duelies
FINALLY!
I've been waiting for the Custom Dualie Squelcher for almost a full year!
Give them a try but I’ll use what I always use.
Never mind that - where’s my Wahoo World at?
really need to get back into Splatoon but XC2 is consuming all my time at the moment.
@NinjaAceTrainer @Mopati I forgot the others, the sets were revealed on the Japanese Splatoon Twitter, but Carbon Roller Deco is getting the debut of the Autobomb Launcher! I like how this twitter poster puts it:

Aside from that, can I get another Sloshing Machine variant, please? Maybe one with burst bombs and either Inkjet or Baller?
Looking forward to the Custom Dualie Squelcher. Haven't tried a rapid blaster in multiplayer so should give it a go, they seem to be quite effective.
Rapid Blasters need a nerf
Once again, I'll just stick to my Hero Dualie Replicas, thanks. They're just like the good ol' vanilla Splat Dualies, awesome and reliable, but they look fine as heck.
Via google translat, although I think some of these are wrong or I’m interpreting them wrong lol. Also some of the Japanese translations are cool, like the Brella says ‘undercover gadget’ lol
Brella: sub - splat bomb, special - baller
Carbon roller: sub - splat bomb, special - autobomb bomb rush (debut)
Rapid blaster: sub - splash shield, special - ink armor
Duallie squelchers: sub - splat bomb, but idk what the special is, here’s what google said: “Honor students who are hiding in the topography by the special "Ameharushi" also dragged.“
Edit: maybe they mean the stingray?
No more Dualies!
@NinjaAceTrainer No! No new Tenta Brella for you! xu
I need to learn to embrace the dualies. I don't like they nixed the ability to jump for it's dodge though.
@GoldenGamer88 Yes new Tenta Brella. And it shall have Splash Walls and Ink Armour so it is invincible.
@NinjaAceTrainer Splash Wall sucks. Tis too situational to be useful. Burst Bombs is what it needs.
@GoldenGamer88 Why? So you can run out of ink for minimal damage? If anything, I would say that suction bombs would be best.
Haven't played much in May due to Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, I'll return when Wahoo World or the Octo Expansion is coming (whichever comes first).
@uhhhhhhhh
Duallie squelchers special is Ink Storm (amefurashi), "a highflier special that can draw out those who are hiding in the terrains."
Do you mean the Rapid Blaster Pro Deco? There is no Rapid Blaster Elite in the game, unless I missed it.
@ThomGee You are correct, the official name is Rapid Blaster Pro Deco. Instead of "Pro" it's called "Elite" in the Japanese version (Rapiddo Burasutaa Eriito [Deko]).
I haven't played much lately. I don't want to be burned out when the expansion arrives. I still prefer salmon run to the main mode anyway. I wish they'd support it more with more maps and modes...
Wahoo World also releases with these weapons. So look forward to a new stage aswell
Been waiting for a new UC Brella forever. I love it, but have wanted a new loadout. Can't wait.
@HADAA
Amazing, my fav special and one of my fav mains
Carbon Roller Deco has the Chicken Bomb Launcher. I'd like to see 8 players using that special at the same time. Stuff of nightmares...
