Splatoon's the game that just keeps on giving, and this week we get to feast our Inkling eyes on the Custom E-litre 3K Scope and the Custom Range Blaster!
The Custom E-litre 3K Scope is a scoped variant on the Custom E-litre 3K, allowing more precise aiming at the price of reducing your field of view whilst aiming. It comes loaded with Beakons and the gargantuan Kraken to topple your cephalopod adversaries.
The Custom Range Blaster is a long to mid range weapon with an ace up its sleeve: it has the mighty Splat Bombs to tackle foes who are trying to get a little too close and if all else fails, this little number also has the Kraken to take on any would-be splatters.
Check out both weapons in the videos below, and make sure you subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube if you haven't already!

Just FYI, I went to Tweet this article and it was too long so this is what I did to shorten it: https://twitter.com/1MayoRice1/status/652707208346632192
Haven't played Splatoon in a while on account of a broken gamepad. So how broken and unbalanced is this game now?
I honestly don't know why you would use an inferior version of the E-Liter. I like using the default variety, but the custom just has a worse sub and special. Squid Beakons are pretty bad; super jumping is very risky to begin with and you are giving up your position to the other team right when you plant a Beakon. In fact, I think the Beakons are pretty much useless outside of Tower control where they can be used as a kind of shield to absorb a few hits. The burst bombs on the default e-liter are a great way to deal with close-range opponents when you can't afford the time to charge a shot. The Kraken as a special is very situational; It's great if you are near a group of opponents since they can be easily dispatched, but if there are opponents still around then you need to use half of your invincibility time to get back into your ink. The echolocater on the other hand is fantastic for the default e-liter since it reveals the positions of all enemies, making it easier to charge a shot and wait for them to move into an unsafe position. It also assists your teammates and can even alert them to an enemy who would have otherwise ambushed them. The only real flaw I see with the echolocator is that it does very little to anyone using cold-blooded as one of their perks.
TL;DR
The default E-Liter has a more versatile and better subweapon and special than the E-Liter Custom. The new scoped version is nice, but I think I'll stick with the regular E-Liter Scope.
