i usually just think of the one-shot chargers (other than squiffer) as targets to bully so they can't attack my team but honestly? custom goo-tuber is fun to play against. at any moment a flying ultra stamp could descend from the heavens and smash you flat. that's slapstick comedy gold
My agent 3 (or 4? I never finished story mode in either one or two), idk name yet but they're tired and adopt people who need it. Uses almost exclusively shooters but likes the splatana subclass.
Agent 8, or Ein. Mains goo tuber. Very much needing a vacation but also LOVES puzzles and killing. He's stuck in the fucking building right now but he's thriving.
Wake (splat 2 sona). Refuses to use any weapon besides the aerospray MG with the curling bomb rush. Cried the first time he did a salmon run shift. He's a cover idol trying to make it big and hosting the splatfest announcements with his partner in crime in a very small city outside of greater inkopolis. He's terrible at turf war and is like one of those streamers who sucks but you watch to see him scream and do dumb shit. His idol partner is a violent little octoling whom he is afraid of yet she's his bestie.
Crest (Splat 3 character/new agent 3). Very good at using gimmicky weapons but prefers splatlings or the custom jr. Wake's younger sibling who bullies him for being afraid of shit. This kid loves working in salmon run and cackles maniacally when in turf. Very very good at schmooving.
We've also got specs on the Custom Goo Tuber. It…has the same specs as the base Goo Tuber. But it comes in a new color! And with Fizzy Bombs and the Ultra Stamp, this set allows for daring close encounters—get all up in the other team's personal space, then start Ultra Stamping!

I'm a massive fan of both splatoon's unique weapons and unique brands, so when I found out that (most) weapon's secondary kits weren't just random words, but actual weapon brands, I went down a massive rabbit hole trying to learn as much as I could about it! But it also got me thinking of another issue...
See, many many people (including me) want third kits for every weapon. HOWEVER, outside of a handful of brands, most weapon brands derive their second kits by just slapping their brand name on it (Custom Jet Squelcher and Luna Blaster Neo come to mind). In-universe, the only way third kits existed in previous games was through collaboration with other brands: Ammo Knights gave us Sheldon's Picks, and Toni Kensa gave us the Kensa Collections.
Obviously, there are many ways to expand on this idea, and I wanted to mess around with it! So, without further ado, here's an idea for a more unique weapon collection:
The Custom X Collection!
The Custom X Collection is a collaboration between the Custom weapon brand and three different gear brands to bring you 6 brand new weapon kits, with their own unique stickers and skins! Some of these gear brands have a history of collaborating with other weapon brands, but many of these are just recently steeping their toes into the world of weapon kits!
(And, before I begin, these kits were make with Yaga's Weapon Kit Generator, with edited Splatoon 3 art by me.)
Custom X Annaki
The Annaki brand is making its weapon kit debut with two very aggressive weapon kits! The Annaki Jet Squelcher can clear plenty of space with its Triple Ink Strike, as well as clean up any of its teammate's messes with its own range or its Burst Bomb sub. Meanwhile, the Annaki Blaster can locate bad guys with its Torpedo and hunt them down with the new Kraken Royale!
Custom X Forge
Forge's new kits build upon the power of Custom's main weapon by giving them solid tools to keep themselves safe and assist their team. The Forge Hydra Splatling can enforce its zone of control much more strongly with its Splash Wall and Wave Breaker, letting it hold riskier positions and pick off anyone trying to sneak around it! And the Forge Explosher can give its team cover from afar with the new Super Chump special while sniffing out anyone trying to approach it with its Autobomb sub.
Custom X Zekko
The new Zekko kits have the most variety between them. The Zekko Dualie Squelchers can limit bad guys' movement with its Suction bomb while rolling all around them, and it can get behind the enemy and shoot them from a safe distance with its Zipcaster special! The Zekko Goo Tuber, meanwhile, can sniff out enemies to snipe with its Point Sensor sub, and its Ink Storm special not only elps cover the ground with paint it can swim through, but it also enforces the space it's trying to control!
That's all I've got for now. Also, I'm no game designer, I just made these kits for fun. Let me know what you think of them, and if you'd use any of these kits!
