Undercover Brella

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki

The Undercover Brella is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.

The Undercover Brella is a brella that can be fired in rapid succession while its semi-transparent shield is open. The shield will open after the first shot fires if the user is holding down the trigger. The shield cannot be launched, and has the second lowest durability in its class.

A minimum of three shots are needed to splat opponents with the Undercover Brella. Opponents who touch the shield will take 15 damage, which is half the damage taken from touching the shield of a Splat Brella or Tenta Brella. After splatting an opponent or assisting a teammate in splatting an opponent, the umbrella canopy instantly reappears if it had been destroyed, or is restored to maximum durability if it was still functional.

Appearance

The Undercover Brella looks like an ordinary black umbrella. The brown handle appears to be made of whangee, and the main shaft changes color to match the user's ink. The shield is black and semi-transparent with black beads at the end of the ribs and a brown-and-gold muzzle on top.

  • Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 20 units per frame for 4 frames. Shots travel straight for 80 distance units.
    • After that, the projectile's velocity is set to 19.085 units if the projectile's velocity is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.

 Sheldon's Introduction

The Undercover Brella looks like a normal umbrella, but that's just to throw people off. It's actually made for clandestine face-splatting! The canopy-launching mechanism has been removed to allow for rapid fire. It can even be fired while the protective canopy is open! Use the Ink Mine to mark your foes, then swim in quickly and unleash a surprise attack! Come to the aid of cornered allies with the Splashdown special! Even spies have gotta go loud sometimes, right?

 Sheldon's Introduction

Of all the brella-type weapons, the Undercover Brella looks the most like an ordinary umbrella. And that's no accident - the weapon was designed for stealth splatting! Getting into the technical aspects, the canopy-launching mechanism has been removed here to allow for rapid fire. The weapon can even be fired while the canopy is open! Back to stealth capabilities - you can use the Ink Mine sub weapon to help scope opponent positions before sneaking in for a splat they'll never see coming. And if you're spotted? Throw all subtlety out the window, fire up the Reefslider, and ride boldly to victory! I recommend this set to all aspiring spies, especially those who know how to walk softly and carry a big shark-based motorcycle.

Trivia

  • The Undercover Brella resembles the umbrella seen in the Kingsman: The Secret Service movie, that can shoot and protect, indicated by its name.
  • The Undercover Brella functions similarly to an automatic shotgun.
  • Prior to version 4.1.0 of Splatoon 2, Undercover Brella had the potential to deal 7 damage, which was the lowest possible damage output in the game.
  • In Splatoon 2, the Undercover Brella is tied with the Inkbrush for the lowest base special cost, at 150p, being the cheapest special in the entire Splatoon series.
  • Unlike the other brellas, the Undercover Brella does not consume more ink while being held open than if it stays closed.
  • In the Splatoon 3 Return of the Mammalians trailer[5], the Undercover Brella was seen not taking damage from the Splat Roller's attacks. This is potentially because the effect had not yet been programmed into the game.
