Changes to multiplayer

• Specifications for some main weapons have changed:
• Aerospray MG and Aerospray RG – The size of terrain area inked by falling spray has been increased by about 10%.
• Jet Squelcher – Reduced blur when firing on land by 17%.
• Splattershot Nova – The size of terrain area inked by shots has been increased by about 19%.
• Dynamo Roller – The damage-rate reduction caused by distance has been adjusted. You can now cause 50.0 damage / 100.0 damage from farther away than before.
• Big Swig Roller – The minimum damage from horizontal slashes has increased from 30.0 to 35.0.
• Bamboozler 14 Mk l – Reduced ink consumption by about 17%.
• Nautilus 47 – Increased firing duration by about 15%.
• Sloshing Machine – Increased ink consumption by about 10%.
• Specifications for some sub weapons have changed:
• Angle Shooter – Damage has been increased from 30.0 to 35.0. The radius of ink coverage when striking terrain or opponents has been roughly doubled.
• Specifications for some special weapons have changed:
• Tacticooler – Tacticooler’s Quick Respawn and Special Saver will no longer be negated by gear abilities Respawn Punisher and Haunt. Respawn Punisher and Haunt effects (increase in respawn time and increase in amount of special gauge lost) will still occur.
• Reefslider – Adjusted the amount of time for the invulnerability window, which occurs after exploding until you are able to move, to about 28/60 of a second.
• Triple Inkstrike – Increased the radius of the area damaged by about 10%. Increased damage inflicted by about 50%.
• Crab Tank – Shortened the duration of the Crab Tank when not using the Special Power Up gear ability from about 9 seconds to about 8 seconds. Increased the extension rate of the duration of the Crab Tank when using the Special Power Up gear ability. As a result of these changes, the duration of the Crab Tank when maximizing use of the Special Power Up gear ability remains the same as before.
• Points required for some weapon specials have been changed:
• Splattershot – 200 (was 190)
• Hero Shot Replica – 200 (was 190)
• .52 Gal – 200 (was 190)
• .96 Gal – 200 (was 190)
• Splattershot Pro – 190 (was 180)
• Splattershot Nova – 200 (was 190)
• Splat Dualies – 200 (was 190)
• Custom Splattershot Jr. – 180 (was 190)
• Sloshing Machine – 210 (was 220)
• Splatana Wiper – 180 (was 190)
• The performance of some gear abilities has been changed:
• Ninja Squid – Ink splash will no longer be invisible for 30/60 of a second immediately after transforming into kid form. Using the gear ability Swim Speed Up at the same time will no longer result in one of these abilities being cancelled. While using Ninja Squid, swim speed will continue to be reduced by a fixed amount.
• This update focuses on adjustments related to battles. A lot of the adjustments to main weapons were made to lessen the impact on some of the weapons from Splatoon 2 where the increased performance of the gear ability was negated in Splatoon 3.
• Regarding changes to Ninja Squid, while mitigating the issue where players would lose sight of each other when shooting at each other from a relatively short distance, we’re also intentionally maintaining the way to approach opponents with longer ranges.
• We reduced the amount needed to fill special gauges for some weapons and within that group strengthened some frequently used short-range weapons to increase player options.
• We increased the amount needed to fill special gauges for some weapons and within that group curtailed somewhat the tactic of using sub weapons and special weapons to attack from a distance.
• We also made some adjustments to increase the manifestation of special weapons.
• The next update will focus on new features and weapon balance for the start of the new season in March. The update is planned for the end of the current season.
