Splatoon 2 has a new in-game weapon in the Inkbrush, the first of several post-launch weapons heading to the title.

Available for free now, the Inkbrush’s special is the Splashdown. Splat Bombs make up the weapon’s sub-weapon ability.

Splatoon 2 is available now on Nintendo Switch — players can try the online Salmon Run now. The game’s first Splatfest event is planned for the first weekend in August.

Additional post-launch content will include new maps and gear.
