This update focuses on adding special Splatfest data and making tweaks to multiplayer.

We have made it easier to utilize the strengths of some main weapons and increased the options for other main weapons that fulfill similar roles.

Additionally, we made it easier to battle with main weapons that are paired with Curling Bombs.

We have also made adjustments to some special weapons. We adjusted the amount of damage that the Killer Wail 5.1 deals to compensate for the fact that many players are now used to dodging it. For the Kraken Royale, we made adjustments to give players additional options outside of a charge attack. For the Trizooka, we made it more difficult to splat opponents by accident, while preserving the ability for players to splat opponents by aiming well and firing two consecutive shots. For Tenta Missiles, we made adjustments to reduce instances where players still took damage even if they took measures to evade enemy missiles.

Splatoon 3 Update 5.1.0 patch notes

Fixes to Player Controls

  • Fixed an issue where the sound effect that indicates that the special gauge is full wouldn’t play when the player closed the Turf Map at the same time as the special gauge filled.
  • Fixed an issue where a player’s brella sometimes wouldn’t recover if they activated a special weapon immediately before the brella was destroyed.
  • Fixed an issue where the Angle Shooter occasionally ricocheted incorrectly when fired at terrain that isn’t perfectly level.
  • Fixed an issue where it was sometimes impossible to destroy an enemy’s Sprinkler with a bomb when the bomb and Sprinkler overlapped.
  • Fixed issues that could occur when the Crab Tank effect ends, such as the player being at a slightly raised position and able to climb terrain at an unintended height or being unable to smoothly use Squid Surge immediately after the end of the effect.
  • Fixed an issue where a player’s jump height was lower than normal when they extended a Zipcaster arm to attach to a wall while their feet were in enemy ink and then jumped immediately afterward.
  • Fixed an issue where an enemy’s Wave Breaker would sometimes still appear on their own screen even if another player used an Ink Vac to suck up and extinguish it.
  • Fixed an issue where, when a player used a Booyah Bomb at the same time as they blocked an enemy’s attack using the armor from a Squid Roll, Squid Surge, or Squid Spawn, the armor from the Booyah Bomb sometimes would not apply properly.

Fixes to Multiplayer

  • Fixed an issue in Rainmaker mode where “They have the Rainmaker!” and “They lost the Rainmaker!” announcements sometimes didn’t display when a player was defeated immediately after another player acquired the Rainmaker.
  • Fixed an issue in Clam Blitz mode where, when a clam or power clam that rebounded off terrain entered the other team’s basket at the same time as it touched a teammate, the teammate would acquire the clam or power clam that should have gone in the basket, despite the fact that it counted as a score.

  • Fixed an issue in Flounder Heights in Tower Control mode where players sometimes clipped into terrain and became stuck.

  • Fixed an issue in Crableg Capital where certain bombs would sometimes become stuck and not explode when thrown at certain locations on top of the railing.

Fixes to Salmon Run

  • Fixed an issue where a player would occasionally not be able to pick up a new Golden Egg until the end of the wave when they delivered a Golden Egg without throwing it and then immediately picked up another Golden Egg and threw that egg to deliver it.
  • Fixed an issue where the Wave Breaker would sometimes remain without vanishing when a player threw it at a Flyfish’s cockpit.
  • Implemented measures to address an issue in special Rush waves where players sometimes took damage from Salmonids if they were moving forward at high speed while splatting the Salmonid with a roller.
  • Fixed an issue in special Griller waves where attacking the exposed weak point with a charger sometimes did not deal any damage when the Griller was turning in place.
  • Fixed an issue in Salmonid Smokeyard where the game would slow down when a player swam on certain walls while being targeted by Salmonids.
  • Fixed an issue in Salmonid Smokeyard where Maws sometimes passed through the interior of the terrain to appear suddenly at the player’s feet.

Splatoon 3

Splatoon 3" is a popular third-person shooter video game developed and published by Nintendo exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, released on 9 September 2022. As the third installment in the Splatoon series, it succeeded "Splatoon 2." This game maintains the hallmark ink-based combat while introducing both online multiplayer (player versus player and player versus environment) and an engaging single-player campaign. The initial teaser trailer was unveiled on 17 February 2021, generating immense anticipation leading up to its launch.

Critical reception praised its enriching gameplay mechanics, customization options, additional maps, and single-player campaign. However, some critiques were directed at the game's matchmaking and disconnection problems, as well as its perceived shortage of fresh content. As of 31 March 2023, "Splatoon 3" has achieved remarkable success, selling a staggering 10.67 million copies globally, establishing its status as the franchise's fastest-selling game and one of the best-selling titles for the Nintendo Switch.

Splatoon 3 Gameplay 

Splatoon 3" is a game where you play as characters called Inklings or Octolings. You shoot colored ink from different weapons, like paint rollers or sniper rifles, to cover the ground or hit opponents. In the game, you can change into a squid or octopus form to move faster and climb inked walls. There are three types of weapons: main, sub, and special. The main weapons are what you choose to use, sub weapons are extra tools for your main weapon, and special weapons need you to cover the ground with ink to use them. You need to manage the amount of ink you have, and swimming in ink helps refill it. The game has many weapons, and some are new while others are from earlier Splatoon games.

Splatoon 3 Plot

In the game, the player follows an old squid named Craig Cuttlefish into a dangerous place filled with Fuzzy Ooze. They are recruited by Cuttlefish to join the New Squidbeak Splatoon as Agent 3. They also have a pet Salmonid Smallfry called "Little Buddy." Little Buddy helps destroy the ooze and clear the way. The player fights mutated Octarian enemies alongside Cuttlefish, who thinks they've stolen the Great Zapfish powering Splatsville.

The adventure takes them to an underground city called Alterna, where they meet familiar faces and discover a plot by Mr. Grizz to change life into mammals using the Fuzzy Ooze. They team up with a group called Deep Cut to stop this plan, ultimately saving the day and returning to Earth with the Great Zapfish. Mr. Grizz faces consequences for his actions.
