Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Kelp Splatterscope is a Kelp Splat Charger with an added scope for long-distance aiming. It's great for hitting far-off targets, but your view is narrow while charging, so careful where you use it!

“

A Splatterscope Sheldon modified in the same way as the Kelp Splat Charger - by sticking seaweed to it. Naturally, it also has a Sprinkler.

Trivia

• Both this weapon and the Bento Splatterscope were absent from Splatoon 2, likely in favor of the Firefin Splatterscope and Kensa Splatterscope being the new second and third variants respectively for the Splatterscope.
