Splatoon 2 Patch Now Live, Nerfs Some Popular Weapons

Nintendo has rolled out a new patch for Splatoon 2. Update 5.3.0 arrives ahead of the game's bonus Splatfest event later this week, and it makes some balance adjustments to a variety of weapons in the game.

In particular, a handful of guns have received nerfs of varying degrees. Rolling with the Dualie Squelchers and Custom Dualie Squelchers now eats up 8% of your ink tank (up from 5%), and the hit detection between their normal shots and players has been "very slightly decreased," making it a little harder to hit opponents (although the guns' hit detection after rolling remains unchanged).

All three variants of the Bamboozler have also gotten a nerf; their ink consumption has been increased by approximately 20%. Meanwhile, ink droplets from the Splat Brella, Sorella Brella, and Hero Brella Replica now deal 16.2 damage (down from 18.0); following this tweak, Nintendo says the maximum damage dealt by a single shot from these three weapons is now 81.0 (down from 90.0). You can see the full list of balance changes below.
