As Splatoon jets closer to launch, the desire to get our hands on its inky arsenal only grows. The game's development team has thrown the cover off yet another weapon some will no doubt enjoy specializing in.
The new gun, announced via Splatoon's Japanese Twitter feed, has been dubbed the "Squeaklean Alpha" according to the fine translators at Siliconera. Its name always has the potential to change during localization, however.
Looking somewhat like a bottle of spray cleaner with an extended barrel, the Squeaklean Alpha has a short charge time followed by a decent forward burst of ink. Shotgun surgeons out there will likely want to give this one a try, and you can see it in action in the video below.
Do you think you'll mop up the competition with the Squeaklean, or is another weapon looking more your taste? Let us know!

This may encourage camping. Still wish the local multiplayer was better.
'Splartan Laser', mirite??
Well, found my weapon.
@mariovslink62
Well if its a match that has anything to do with territory, in which it probably will, they'll lose by camping.
@mariovslink62 Then you might probably have to explore and find the camper... right?
Seems OP OHK.
I hope they add voice chat to splatoon
Is that from the single player? Seems odd that a game thats supposed to be based on coloring territory rather than killing your opponents has a weapon pretty much for nothing else other than shooting your opponent.
Im not opposed to the idea, just seems to go against the idea that they've been promoting.
Man, I'm loving the audio/visual feedback from those shots. So satisfying.
Aim assist confirmed. You can see the crosshair snap pretty clearly in that video...
I though that Squeaklean Alpha was the name of an early release demo or something.
@rjejr Some weapons are better at taking out an opponent, some are better at gaining territory. Some are half/half. And when you combine the different ranges, there's going to be a lot of thought going into weapon choices.
It looks like a nice weapon, kinda like the Breechshot from Gears of War 3.
A little off topic but I hadn't noticed how the inklings move when they're just standing around
Splatoon looks more and more exciting I'm so happy I pre-ordered my special edition already
hmm if only this had voice chat.... still not sure if to get this :/
SPLATOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!
... wait, is that aim-assist? It looked like aim-assist! WHY???
@VeeFlamesNL From experience, that sounds like bait for a camper.
