GN Version 5.0

Dataminers have been pouring through Splatoon 2, and just recently they found a motherload of new details. Obviously some of this stuff might be considered spoiler for some people, so I'll place it after the jump. Click over at your own risk!

- incomplete files for revamped versions of Kelp Dome and Blackbelly Skatepark have been introduced in the 1.1.1 update
- additional maps named Line and Tunnel which are in development
- placeholder images for maps revealed in the Direct named Kawa and Pillar are present.
- Nintendo is including testing versions of Shifty Station in the updates
- devs are currently testing new Salmon Run stages with internal names of Shakehouse and Threepoints
- Grizzco brand weapons are in the works, including a Blaster, Charger, and Brella
- what was known as the player's gender from the original Splatoon has now been replaced by a parameter called PlayerType
- another parameter called PlayerType shares the same values as another parameter, ModelType
- the possible values for these parameters are SquidGirl, SquidBoy, and Oct.
- there's an additonal value named OctBoy
- new weapon type called the Squeezer is in development

Squeezer:

The Squeezer main is a new type of semi-auto shooter where one trigger pull equals one ink shot! Holding down [ZR] won't provide a steady stream of ink, but spamming the trigger will give you rapid fire with a damage output you'll dig! Set up a Splash Wall to protect your team, then head for the front lines! The semi-auto style is a great way to control your ink use. Put even far-off foes on notice with the Sting Ray special! If you've got confidence in your aim, give this single-shot set a try!

Foil Squeezer:

We took a Squeezer, slapped the manufacturer's logo on it, and the Foil Squeezer was born. BOOM! The main weapon has the action of the original Squeezer, but it now comes with Splat Bombs. So flush 'em out, then take careful aim! Blow up the front lines with the Bubble Blower special, then charge in with your team and take out the opposition! It's a fairly aggressive set, but the main weapon requires steady aim, making it suited for veteran battlers.
