Took a while but I finally finished play testing the Heavy Splatling and I have to admit I enjoy this gun a lot. The Splatling class gun is a mix of a rapid fire regular gun and a charger class weapon. In order to fire the gun it must be charged first before firing. The Spatling has a crosshair which is different from all other guns. While the gun is charging a two rings appear around the crosshair. The first ring indicates how far the gun will fire and the second ring will determine the duration of the fire, One nice thing is that if you need to abandon your attack and retreat you can stop your fire by diving into the ink. This can be a hassle if you like to dive in the ink a lot as your fire will be interrupted every time you dive.
Now the Splatling gun has a certain play style that may not appeal to all players. Its charge time destroys any hope for it to be a close combat weapon. Luckily the gun has a very high range and a rapid fire to make up for the charge. This means the Splatling is a perfect weapon for players who like to attack from a distance as you can pick off enemies with a rapid fire blast. Now if you do get caught off guard or get cornered by your foes the splash wall is a life saver. It also is very good in close combat maps like Port Mackerel. Through the wall up and rapid fire your enemies into retreat to give you or your team time to make space between the two battling sides. The special weapon for the Heavy Splatling is the inkstrike. Since the weapon can cover ink pretty quickly, you can expect to be firing many inkstrikes throughout a match.
Now I haven't spent much time testing the gun in ranked mode because I don't want to risk my current rank of B. I can assume this gun would have some pretty good coverage in Splat Zones and the Splash Wall would help cover a team attack the tower in Tower Control.
How do you like the Heavy Splatling? What is your favorite strategy when using this gun in Turf Wars and Ranked Mode? Leave some comments below and let me know!
