Octo Shot
- For the weapon replica available in multiplayer battles, see Octo Shot Replica.
The Octo Shot, also formatted as Octoshot in Splatoon, is a shooter in the Splatoon series. It is used by enemy Octolings in Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, Octo Expansion, and Return of the Mammalians. Additionally, it is used by Agent 8 during the escape phases of the Octo Expansion and when setting Eight's Palette to the Pearl Drone in Side Order.
Appearance
The Octo Shot's overall appearance is similar to that of the original Splattershot from Splatoon, albeit with an overall aesthetic more closely resembling that of a firearm than a toy. The Octo Shot's ink tank is a large cylindrical tank with a black screw cap which rests on top of the main parts of the gun with a thick, plastic, black band wrapped around it, connecting the ink tank to the gun. From the top of the screw cap, a large wide tube bends in a U-turn fashion connecting the ink to the barrel of the Octo Shot, which resembles a pure black and miniature version of the ink tank, complete with a black screw cap. Below the barrel is a large pistol grip with a small trigger that is held within one hand. Connecting on the remaining side of the barrel is a foregrip, held with the other hand to stabilize the weapon when firing. The foregrip is a silver-colored semi-cylinder with a black semi-cylinder coating the outside, complete with finger holds for grip. Connecting to the forward-facing side of the foregrip is a funnel-shaped silver nozzle. The default appearance and Octo Shot thumbnails portray the ink color to be a dark purple.
Splatoon
In Splatoon, this weapon is called the Octoshot and is the only main weapon used by Octolings in Octo Valley.
Octoshot Replica
- Main article: Octo Shot Replica
The Octoshot Replica is a weapon that can be obtained as a reward from Judd for reaching level 40. It is visually identical to the Octoshot, but is functionally identical to the Tentatek Splattershot, sharing the same stats and loadout, with Suction Bombs as its sub weapon and the Inkzooka as its special weapon.
Splatoon 2
In Octo Canyon in Splatoon 2, Octolings again use the Octo Shot as a main weapon. However, there are some that use different weapons of other classes, all of which are red versions of the hero weapons, such as a roller and blaster.

In the Octo Expansion, the Sanitized Octolings use the Octo Shot and red variants of the hero weapons of other weapon classes like in Octo Canyon, including new weapons such as a brella and brush. Elite Octolings with the Octo Shot use the Inkjet as their special weapon.
An Octo Shot becomes Agent 8's main weapon in the Escape02 Villi Phase and is used in the subsequent escape phases:
- Escape03 Belly Phase
- Escape04 Intestinal Phase
- Escape05 Diaphragm Phase
- Escape06 Peristalsis Phase
- Escape07 Spinal Phase
- EscapeBoss Turf War
Additionally, it is the main weapon used with Splat Bombs in the battle against Inner Agent 3.
Octo Shot Replica
- Main article: Octo Shot Replica
The Octo Shot Replica is a weapon unlocked upon completion of the Octo Expansion's main story. Like in Splatoon, it is identical in appearance to the Octo Shot and functionally identical (in both stats and loadout) to the Tentatek Splattershot. Notably, its sub weapon (Splat Bombs) and special weapon (Inkjet) are identical to those collected during the Octo Expansion's escape phase and used with the Octo Shot.
Splatoon 3
The Octo Shot returns in Splatoon 3 as a main weapon enemy Octolings can use in Return of the Mammalians, alongside other main weapons like the Blaster or the Splat Dualies, similarly to the Octo Expansion. The Octo Shot used by enemies also retains a similar dark green color to those in the Octo Expansion.

The Octo Shot is the last weapon that can be unlocked in Side Order. Its base set consists of Splat Bombs and Triple Splashdown. However, this can be changed in the Spire of Order by using a vending machine.
It has the same stats as the the Order Shot, which has lower stats in comparison to the Splattershot, having a slower fire rate, damage, strafe speed, ink efficiency, and range. However, this can be upgraded through color chips and Marina's Hacks.
Eight's Palette
- Main article: List of Palettes in Side Order
Eight's Palette is the last Palette in Side Order. It is available after opening the last locker in front of the Spire of Order and is set to the Octo Shot. Defeating Overlorder with this Palette for the first time unlocks the Order Shot Replica for use in online battles.
Special rules
Eight's Palette is unique in having a resistance to Marina's Hacks, which limits the number of color chips that can be equipped in relation to the number of activated hacks.
| Hacks | Max color chips |
|---|---|
| 0 | 36 |
| 1 | 30 |
| 2 | 24 |
| 3 | 18 |
| 4 | 12 |
| 5 or more | 6 |
Using Eight's Palette also adds a Skip Floor option in the Spire of Order, which allows for non-boss floors to be skipped at the cost of 
100 for floors 1F through 9F, 500 for floors 11F through 19F, and 1000 for floors 21F through 29F.
Color chips
The following color chips are available when setting Eight's Palette to the Pearl Drone.

Trivia
- In Splatoon, the Octo Shot is the only weapon to appear but not be usable by the player in any way.
- The Octo Shot is not tied to a specific weapon set; although enemy Octolings in Octo Valley and Octo Canyon only use it with Splat Bombs, those in the Octo Expansion and Return of the Mammalians can use various different sub and special weapons with it.
- The Octo Shot bears a resemblance to the IMI Uzi submachine gun.
- The Octo Shot is the only weapon in the Octo Expansion that Agent 8 can start a level with but can never obtain from an equipper, as the one used in the escape phases is instead a canned weapon.
- Although it is intended for the player to be forced to collect the Octo Shot in the Villi Phase, it is possible to avoid it by using an exploit.
- However, when the player moves on to the Belly Phase, they will be equipped with the Octo Shot for the rest of the escape phases like usual, regardless of whether they actually collected it.
