Is any one else as confused as I am as too why the brush weapon has got little to no coverage? I mean we now more about the Blaster, a weapon that was introduced barely this month, then the brush. Its quite baffling to be honest.

I'm hoping it'll be the featured weapon on the Dev twitter next week. I mean they've shown off every other type of main weapon. It's practically the only one left. It was cruel of them not to include it in the newest demo build.
Splattershot Splattershot Pro Splattershot Jr .52 Gallon Splat Charger Blaster Splat Roller
Those are all the main weapons avaialble in the latest demo build. Outside of known variants for the charger, roller, and potentially blaster weapon categories, that's every known weapon type in the game beside the poor neglected brush. It will get it's time to shine soon enough though. I can feel it.

I'm wondering how it work. I'm thinking maybe kind of like the energy sword in Halo. Once you get within a certain range you can lunge at your opponent for a one hit kill. And maybe they drag it behind them leaving a trail of ink when not in combat? [edit] After seeing footage of a player running around with one, I'm wondering how the brush will spread ink compared to other weapons .

There was also the Tentatek Splattershot, though we didn't learn about any differences between that and the regular Splattershot.

The Jet Squelcher? I must have missed that one. Do you have any links to some footage of it in action.? Preferably time-stamped.

Wait..., so that means theirs five different variations for the Ink Gun? That seems a tad excessive.
I wonder how many variations the other weapons will have. Sniper already has four so... wow we could be looking at a lot.

The rifle has 6 actually and they're not variations they all work differently. SMG Class:Splattershot Jr. -Small radius, Short range, Godtier fire rate, low damage. Splattershot - Medium range, Medium radius, medium fire rate. Medium damage. Splattershot Pro - High fire rate, medium radius, medium range, low damage. Jet Squelcher - Small radius, Low fire rate, long range, medium damage.
This is all just from observing, so it could be off. But there's definitely noticeable difference that will effect gunplay.

Here are two definitions of Variation. 1) A change or difference in condition, amount, or level, typically with certain limits. 2) A different or distinct form or version of something. They all stem from the original gameplay of the Ink Gun, and have identical mechanics, but cartoons in gameplay. Sorry if I came across as rude, but I have a petpeeve about this sort of thing.

What would the .52 Gal be? This video makes me think it is a member of the Splattershot family

I can't help but speculate how the brush works. I can see it doing either of two things, brushing in a straight line like the roller but not in as wide a line, and it's ranged shot going farther but also not as wide a shot. Or it goes side to side like when you paint something as you walk, and well idk about the shot if it does that. I'm really excited to see how it works.

They've shown a pic of the thing being swung at least. I'd wager that its attack speed is faster than the Roller's. and probably wider. All I've got, though.
