New details revealed for Splatoon 2’s Poison Mist and Hot Blaster weapons

The official Japanese Splatoon 2 Twitter account introduced two weapons today which will be used at E3, the Hot Blaster and Poison Mist.

The Hot Blaster is a large attack range weapon that allows players to shoot explosive amounts of ink. However, the speed of shooting ink  is rather slow. To compensate, the weapon is much better at landing direct hits on opponents, and has the immense power of knocking them out with only 1 shot. The sub-weapon is the Poison Mist, and special is Super Landing.

The Poison Mist is a brand new sub-weapon to be introduced in Splatoon 2. When thrown, the projectile’s surrounding impact area will be covered in a mist for a short duration of time. When an opponent steps into the misty area, their speed will slow down and gradually lose ink.
