Splatoon 3

[Added February 10, 2026] Changes to Multiplayer

Specifications for some main weapons have changed.

Weapon

Change Details

Rapid Blaster

Rapid Blaster Deco

Increased the radius of ink coverage caused by spray droplets from shots by approximately 10%.

Rapid Blaster Pro

Rapid Blaster Pro Deco

Rapid Blaster Pro WNT-R

Increased the amount of ink consumed by approximately 14%.

This update was intended to focus on bug fixes, but some multiplayer balance changes that were planned for inclusion in a future update were inadvertently made in this update as well.

As these were changes that were planned – even though they were planned for a later update – we will leave them in the game.

For the Rapid Blaster, we’ve increased the radius of the ink spray coverage so that it’s easier for players to take advantage of the fact that maintaining enough distance from the opponent is key when using this weapon.

For the Rapid Blaster Pro, we’ve increased ink consumption to increase the need for players to carefully aim each shot.

Bug Fixes

Fixes to Player Controls

Fixed an issue where, when Blaster shots hit terrain or other objects, the explosion hit detection size for opposing players was slightly larger than intended.

Fixed an issue where, when some Blaster shots hit terrain or other objects, the controller would vibrate.

Fixed an issue where, when S-BLAST '91 or S-BLAST '92 shots hit terrain or other objects, the same sound effect would play as when they exploded in the air.

Fixes to Multiplayer

Fixed an issue where the ink that appears at a player’s feet when they enter or extend Flow Aura was not being displayed on other players’ screens.
