The Splatling is one of Eleven Main weapons available.
The Splatling is based on a gatling gun. It has several barrels allowing for a higher rate of fire than the other weapon classes. Like Stringers and Chargers, Splatlings have to be charged to fire. The player is able to fire when not fully charged, but this will usually result in less range, fire-rate, and power. One of the main mechanics of the Splatling is the ability to have two different charges. The second charge takes significantly less time to charge than the first. In some cases, the charge amount can determine how the weapon fires. Splatlings can be used in many situations. The Mini Splatling has short range, but high mobility, low charge time, and good fire-rate. On the contrary, the Hydra Splatling has the longest Splatling range, good damage, and a good fire-rate, making up for its long charge time and abysmal mobility.
