The sound effects for an opponent’s Kraken Royale are now easier to hear from a distance.
Changes to Salmon Run
- Made the interval between touching a Golden Egg and being able to use it roughly the same for all players.
- By adjusting the animation speed when a Golden Egg goes into a non-host-player’s life ring, the interval between touching a Golden Egg and being able to use it is now roughly the same for the host and non-host players.
- However, if communication delays exceed a certain level, the timing may not be the same as the host player.
- This update focuses on adding Splatfest data, adjusting Splatfest Points, and making tweaks to online multiplayer.
- For Splatfest Points, adjustments to the Halftime Report should make it feel less like the winning team has already been decided.
- For main weapons, the changes should highlight the unique traits of weapons and strengthen certain combinations of sub and special weapons.
- For sub weapons, the changes should create more ways to use certain sub weapons, as well as curtail strategies that employed repetitive use of certain sub weapons.
- For special weapons, we have reviewed and made adjustments to the performance of each special weapon now that the usage of special weapons new to Splatoon 3 is better established.
- For the new special weapon Kraken Royale, its basic abilities are unchanged, but it has been adjusted in certain modes to reduce unfavorable circumstances.
- For Salmon Run, the changes should ensure that lag will be minimal no matter which system is the host. It’s possible that selection of the host system for wireless play in any or all game modes may change, either by adding a feature or improving communication efficiency. Therefore, we are taking steps to minimize lag regardless of which system is the host.
- We plan on releasing the next update at the end of the current season. It will focus primarily on balance adjustments and adding features for the new season starting in June.

Fixes to Multiplayer

- Fixed an issue where it wasn’t defined which player’s screen would be used as the standard if an Ultra Stamp user attacked an opponent and a communication delay caused the shot to land differently between the two players’ screens.

- Players who are in this situation will be able to receive their badges once they have applied this update data and restarted the game software.
