Splatoon 4.1.0 Patch Notes
Today, the big patch for Splatoon 2 is dropping that includes the new map. Here are the balance changes to the game:
-Increased painting distance for the sploosh, jr, and the aerospray
-Splattershot pro paints it's feet better now, the closest fall-off bullet (not the bullet fall-off) now drops closer to you (weapon now paints better closer to you)
-.96 has %6 increased range
-Dynamo paints better close to him with the horizontal flick
-Flingza's horizontal flick's lethal range increased by %5
-Gootuber's tap shot's range increased by %27, (range buff applies to other partial charges, but doesn't affect the max range)
-mini splattling's fall-off bullets (not the bullet fall-off) now spreads vertically
-Nautilus 47's bullet speed increased by %133
-Undercover brella's individual bullet dmg increased to 12 from 10 (the dmg cap for each shot is still 40)
Subs:
-Splash wall's white ink frames decreased by 15
Specials:
-The interval between every Tenta Missile's missile decreased
-Splashdown when splatted mid-air before landing, the special decrease changed to %25 from %50, dmg to bubbles increased (they can always pop/break bubbles now), needed special points decreased across the board
We also get the "last new" map, which is based on a temple. Players are hoping that "last new" means that we'll still get maps from Splatoon 1. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they just kept making changes to existing maps. They have already changed a lot since they were released.
The Booyah Bomb is also being released. It's a special that gets stronger when you spam the Booyah emote.
We're also getting several new weapons, as well as four fresh music tracks to enjoy.
The update is free (minus the $20 a year you have to spend for Nintendo Switch Online). It's a large update and it seems like it's a lot of fun, I can't wait to try it!
