While playing the campaign in Splatoon 2, you’re likely going to unlock some weapons that you like. Once you have them in the single-player campaign, you always will, but that doesn’t mean you have them in the game’s multiplayer mode. In fact, unlocking Hero weapons in Splatoon 2’s multiplayer mode is going to be quite the task, but we’ve got the details for how you can pull it off.

Unlock All Hero Weapons in Multiplayer

As you play through the Splatoon 2 campaign, Sheldon will ask you to test out various Hero weapons for him to help bring them up to code. If you then want to take this Hero weapon into multiplayer, you’ll have to use that specific weapon to beat the entire game. That means completing all 27 lairs and defeating all five bosses with the same weapon. After that, it’s unlocked in the Splatoon 2 multiplayer modes.

For example, gamers can unlock the Hero Shot in Lair 1. If they want to take that weapon to multiplayer, they will have to complete the entire game using that weapon. Speedy gamers could likely crush the campaign in only a couple of hours, but the average gamer is looking at five or more hours to beat it. If you want all nine Hero weapons in multiplayer, it means the average gamer is spending 45 hours in the campaign to make that happen. Those are ballpark figures, but still.
