[Weapon of the Day] DAY 29: .52 GAL DECO

[Inkipedia] (http://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/.52_Gal)

STATS	VALUE
Base Damage	52
Range	50
Damage	70
Fire Rate	30
Sub Weapon	Seeker
Special Weapon	Inkstrike

What an interesting weapon. I've always thought that Seekers, despite only being able to move on the horizontal plane, were incredibly underrated as movement and zoning options. Inkstrikes are also similar, and the main weapon needs no introduction whatsoever.

However, there lies a burning question: "WHY USE THIS WEAPON OVER THE VANILLA .52 GAL?"

I can't say, because 70% of the time it would be more beneficial to use the vanilla .52 gal. However, in splat zones and certain other maps / game modes, the deco could be more valuable -- it all depends on how you play it.
