Balance changes
"By observing the changes after the delivery of Ver.5.3.0, we made adjustments to slightly lower the ability of some weapons to maintain the front line for a long time from a relatively long distance.

In addition, by adjusting some of the weapons to bring the performance of the weapon that has a high usage rate closer to that of the weapon, the range of weapon selection has been expanded.

We will observe the changes in this updated data over the long term and plan to adjust Splatoon 2 again next time."
