AND WE'RE BACK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I took a day off to ~~get fucking drunk and watch the superbowl~~ study for a super important midterm but we are back and with one of my favorite weapons to boot.

This weapon is built around insane mobility and balance. It's like the faster, close-range friend of the Tentatek -- its special will let you pick off opponents from afar, while it is equipped with one of the best close-range subweapons, if not the best close-range subweapons. You effectively have a quick blaster with a burst bomb that lets you scout corners and throw off people trying to chase you in a chaotic firefight. You have an incredibly accurate quickly-inking weapon that is an efficient 4-shot kill (and given that it has the range of an Aerospray, you should only be hitting all 4 shots up close).

But the best part about this weapon is the burst cancel / combo capabilities, as it is one of the 4 shooting class weapons with a burst bomb as a sub (the other 3 being the splattershot, L-3 Nozzlenose D, and the Custom Jet Squelcher). With one damage up main and two subs (minimum), you can reach the threshold of a direct hit burst bomb + one shot kill on an enemy with no defense up. I like to make sure my opponent is extra dead so I have a tendency to run up to 5 damage up subabilities.

Now enjoy this writeup, courtesy of u/rose94:

First, I encourage everyone to listen to the official Neo splash-o-matic theme song.

This song is also a handy guide to using the Neo splash. "Boom. Bang. Boom. Bang bang." is essentially all there is to using this weapon, plus the occasional inkzooka. Essentially this weapon is here to wreck your shit, with damage up boosted burst bombs turning this 4hko weapon into a 2hko (if you count the burst bomb). This weapon has an answer to every scenario.

You're close range and trying to out-pace me? Burst bomb knock back BOOM YOU'RE DEAD

You're mid range and trying to space me out? Catch these burst bombs BOOM YOU'RE DEAD

You're really long range/a sniper? I have an inkzooka BOOM YOU'RE DEAD
