I think the English term for this type of gun is a "carbine"- essentially a two-hander with a short barrel. We can reasonably deduce it will have medium range and power- the real question is the firing rate. I'm guessing it will have an auto-burst mechanic, but no idea if the sum of the burst will be below or above the splatting threshold (e.g. L-3 vs. H-3).Yeah, the one in the middle leftish is new afaik. It was used a bit in the hero mode trailer, but it seems to be an auto-fire fast shooter, like splattershot. Not sure what the actual stats on it are like.
What is interesting about the Hero Splatling is that it is sporting that chrome look as of that single player trailer, but from the Pump Track pic it's got the typical black and green look. Why the difference? Did they change it or are there two skin variants?
Sheldon will rent you weapons exclusively for use during Hero Mode, as he can fieldtest them that way and get approval for use in Turf Wars.
Probably means you still have to buy weapons outside Hero Mode.
While Marie is member of "Squid Sisters" she's also Agent 2 of "New! Squidbeak Splatoon". During Cuttlefish's disappearance she's monitoring the movements of the Octarians. Get this, Agent 4 doesn't know about the "Squid Sisters"! I wonder if he/she doesn't watch that much TV..
Looks like the Octarians have been recruiting new friends in Octo Valley and plot to invade again. Flying Airship "Octoppelin" 「タコッペリン号」 and Rolling Ball "Octostrike" 「タコストライク」, Octarians are constantly developing new weapons and plan to stop Agent 4 by any means necessary.
The new enemy names are plays on Zeppelin and Strike (bowling).
Unknown to people, "New! Squidbeak Splatoon" that fights against the Octarians. Young Inkling that has just arrived in "Inkopolis Square", led by Marie you're designated as Agent 4. From Octo Valley you're set to search the Octarians underground base.
Something like that, hopefully we'll get official Tumblr post soon to clear it up.

All weapons in the single player are Hero Weapons, and usually sport a different skin. You can get a "replica" outside single player, but in the first game they were all rewards for completing the amiibo challenges.
Oh yeah I got that, but what I'm getting at is that we have 3 different looks for the Heavy Splatling so far .[..] It's kinda weird.
I mean... a few weapons in the first game has had more than 3 reskins.

Is this fanart?
Yes, it is. Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/sbrk_koo/status/865216593738874882Is this fanart?
Woah, amazing. Going bad was definitely good for her.
Wow. The new hero is named agent 4. Do Nintendo want this game to sell in China? Unless the whole Agent Death thing is intentional. However thats pretty dark even for Splatoon
They knew what they were doing with the background.Too bad, that's pretty cool. Looks a hell of a lot like the official art too.
We have a fan art thread for these things, You know this.
...Wait what does China have to do with this? Is "Agent 4" some reference that I'm not aware of?
We already knew the first three agents, and the inkling you play as in Splatoon 2 is new as well, so them being agent 4 is only natural.

It's still real though. The building I work in, a prestige building in Sydney Australia finished in 2012, has floor 3A instead of 4. Someone must care.People are still going on about this nonsense China hates 4 thing, as if a product mentioning 4 is a big deal. I remember people were thinking Sony wasn't going to name the PS4 "PS4" there

And some buildings in the US skip floor 13. It means nothing.It's still real though. The building I work in, a prestige building in Sydney Australia finished in 2012, has floor 3A instead of 4. Someone must care.
Great boss design
Best roller weapon

Is there any confirmation that Callie is an octo agent? Or is this all speculation?
She's definitely heavily involved with the octarians to some extent, though whether it's a conscious beyrayal or brainwashing or some sort of coersion or what is unknown.Is there any confirmation that Callie is an octo agent? Or is this all speculation?
No, they're not going to be playable.
