E-litre 3K Scope And Neo Splash-O-Matic Headed To Splatoon Tomorrow

Scope-shot'll be nice, but I'd need to see the specials and the subs. I use those often.

The Splash-O-Matic looks like it might be my kind of weapon.....will have to see what the subs are. The chargers are my nemesis......I can't use em and I can't defend against them.

@Gerbwmu - There's already been the regular Splash-O-Matic which has Splat Bombs and Bomb Rush. The Neo Splash-O-Matic will have Burst Bombs and Inkzooka, according to the leak.

OOOHHHHHH. The original splash-o-matic would be my favourite gun if it wasn't for a useless special weapon. Here's hoping that the new one comes with a bubbler.

@Mush123 - Neo Splash-O-Matic might be good for Tower Control if those subs are correct ! Gonna try it when I get it.

I'll have to mess around with the Neo Splash-o-Matic once it comes out. I used the Splash-o-Matic a lot, so I'm interested in seeing what subs it have.

Neat. The Splash-o-matic is my weapon of choice, so I'm very curious to see this new version's sub and special...

@Mineral I'm 99% sure it will have that set up.

@Chaoz, @Yalari and @CB85 - Read my post above.

@Mush123 Well now I'm sad. Though Inkzooka is still a lot better than bomb rush, so I guess I'll be able to deal.

@Yalari I found bomb rush with Suction Bombs to be really effective.

Been waiting for the 3K scope for awhile, hoping it also has a bit extra range.

@MasterGraveheart just checked and it appears to be the same as the regular 3K. (Burst bomb and echolocator)

Since I love the E-Liter as it is (I don't even use the custom version), I would probably just buy the weapon for collection's sake. Although I would definitely try it out as the scope does help out in aiming but makes it so much easier to get killed. The specials are the only thing that will make it a keeper for me.

@yokokazuo
If it is the same as the original, then normal E-Liter for me And the range does not change with Scope only the zoom does. Splat Charger and Splatterscope are basically the same, with the scope being the only difference.

Despite having bought all weapons below 10,000, I'm still running around with my trusty Tentatek Splattershot... I probably should change it up occasionally... But I do still welcome additional bits of the game being unlocked... Helps things to Stay Fresh

Hmm, wonder if that Scope will be a game changer for that weapon... I'm not very good using snipers, I lack the patience to effective use them preferring assault and rush tactics over point defense, but I will surely give it a try.

I have a feeling that the E-Litre 3K Scope will be one of the most overused weapons, at least when it first comes out. I already see such a high proportion of E-Litre 3Ks to normal chargers that I'm sure this will mean chargers everywhere! :/ Not good for me as a .52 Gal player but hopefully the scope will mean I can kill them more easily.

I need to try chargers and with scope they sound interesting.

Happy Birthday #21! Ten days left!

Man... haven't played in a couple of weeks; gotta get back on board.

@sinalefa - I woke up this morning to 65 emails in my in box, yours was #2. I'm replying to you and then going back to bed.

You can stop now though, really, look, all done.

Couldn't keep that up here.

I use the .96 Gal so having more snipers really doesn't bother me at all. The .96 Gal has so much range that if I am not near the end of its range, the sniper is probably in range for me!

There's no way I'm staying up to 3am for these weapons, but I'll purchase them and try them out tomorrow evening. I wonder if any of these will replace the Tentatek Splattershot as my weapon of choice.

@sinalefa I would start with kelp splatterscope before jumping to the 3-liter. The kelp has way better mobility - equipped with the 3-liter makes you feel like a tank. I use the kelp almost exclusively for tower control; the killer wail definitely comes in handy for this mode. I found camping with the kelp in the same spot to be futile unless the bad guys are brain dead. So you need to have at least 2 (preferably 3) camp spots to rotate. Because of this, I feel the mobility comes in handy and worth the little loss in range compare to the 3-liter.

Splash-o-matic and .52 Gal Deco for life

@Yalari Suction Bomb Rush is incredible for turf wars. Get up on a high ledge, start jumping and throwing bombs everywhere and watch your ink spread like crazy. It also really distracts the enemy team.

@LasermasteA actually when I got the splatterscope I tested out the range compared to the Splat Charger and it has a slightly longer range. In the training area I aimed at the farthest target and walked backwards until it was just out of range then fired. Then I switched to the other weapon and did the same, I think the difference was about the distance between the space of the lines or half of it.

we aren't safe : :

We'll have to see. Without knowing the accompanying load outs making any kind of meaningful assessment is pointless. Chargers aren't usually my thing but the Splash-o-matic could have potential.

Since I'm suck when it comes to using Chargers effectively, I'll stick with testing the Neo Splash-o-matic.

Another E-Litre on the market?

@rjejr

I love how in NL when you post, I get the notification, then you can edit the post and I keep the original version in the mail. A pic is worth a thousand words.

I will then stop, just because you are asking, not because I got bored or forgot

@Blastcorp64

Thanks for the advice. I feel chargers are more for kills than for painting turf, hence my reticence to try them.

I don't use the E-Litre often, but the scope will be very useful for the next time I use it since it makes it easier to aim.

@sinalefa - Yeah, feel free to keep the pic. If I ever become somebody maybe it will be worth something.

I really hope we start getting some better Ninteod game news to keep us occupied. Still about 50 more days until SMM. This summer's game drought is the droughtiest. And that was after a rather lame E3, then followed by Iwata's passing, the Devil's Third rumour mill, constantly not talking about NX, app games... I know there have been a couple of sales and Spaltfests but it's been really downbeat for about a month now. Is your birthday coming up soon, I can start giving you well wishes to hold us over.

@rjejr

My birthday is the same day as one of your sons, in January. So we still have a long way to go.

And funnily enough, the game drought is there, but since I am in AA (Amiibo Anonymous) along with @JaxonH, then I haven't felt it as new amiibo waves keep releasing and my wallet hasn't had a minute of peace. Yesterday I got Child of Light for 4 bucks, can't beat that.

@sinalefa - Yeah, that's a steal for $4. Bought that for $15 - $10 plus my $5 DDP credit - remember those Ntinedo? - Day 1 and played it straight thru to the end. I should probably go start redeeming all those games I bought in the Humble Nindi bundle, if I can remember how?

This is pretty cool, splatoon, is getting 2 more guns.

Geez. It's been too long since I've last played Splatoon. I'm more of a brush user, and I recall there being a new brush weapon, so I'll go try that.

I love the constant addition of weapons (even if they're technically on the disc already, but hey they're free) as I'm always swapping weapons every few matches unless I settle into a particularly nice group.

Sploosh-o-Matic is still one of my favourite guns, and the New Squiffer is still my sniper of choice. But if any of these have the Kraken... SOLD!

Personally i like the custom dual squelche r . It is BEAST how you control and conquer with it.
