Unused content in Splatoon 2

This page documents content included in pre-release versions of Splatoon 2 that was not included in the released game and content that was found in the game's files that was not made available.

Rocket ranked mode
There is an unfinished ranked mode, code-named "Rocket", with a unique object (vRocket) and weapon (vRocketNozzle). Hacking a work-in-progress version into the game shows a mode where a rocket object that is launched by shooting ink at it and an ink pump weapon that can be used to continue advancing once control of the rocket is gained.

Eight-ball ranked mode
Another unfinished Ranked mode, code-named "Eight-Ball", can be accessed with hacks. It involves the player shooting a large ball reminiscent of the 8-Ball to roll it towards the opposing team's goal.

Gear
An unobtainable Judd Facemask existed in early versions of the game, but it was later replaced by the Octoking Facemask.

 * There is a model in Splatoon 2 called "PlazaTestPlayer" which appears to be a white female Inkling. It was probably used as a test model for Inkopolis Square, but judging by the name, Splatoon 2 could also have been at one point still in Inkopolis Plaza.
