Version 5.1.0 is an update toSplatoon 3 that released on18 October 2023. It is the mid-season update patch forDrizzle Season 2023; besides general balance changes, it adds data related to theZombie vs. Skeleton vs. GhostSplatfest, as well as the updated layout ofMahi-Mahi Resort.
Notes
| “ | This update focuses on adding specialSplatfest 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 withCurling Bombs. We have also made adjustments to some special weapons. We adjusted the amount of damage that theKiller Wail 5.1 deals to compensate for the fact that many players are now used to dodging it. For theKraken Royale, we made adjustments to give players additional options outside of a charge attack. For theTrizooka, 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. ForTenta Missiles, we made adjustments to reduce instances where players still took damage even if they took measures to evade enemy missiles. We plan on releasing the next patch around the middle of November to addDeep Cutamiibo data. | ” |
