Revision as of 09:02, 5 December 2018
Version 4.3.0 is an update to Splatoon 2 that was released on 5 December 2018 at 01:00 UTC. It is the last update for Splatoon 2 that will add new weapons.
Stages
- Blackbelly Skatepark underwent renovation, similar to the changes made to Starfish Mainstage in Version 4.0.0 and The Reef in Version 4.2.0.
- This marks the first time since December 16, 2017 that the stage's Rainmaker layout has appeared in a Ranked or League Battle rotation in Splatoon 2[1], as one of the changes made was to adjust the balance in said mode.
Weapons
- Four variants of previously existing weapons were added to the game -
Custom Explosher, 
Ballpoint Splatling Nouveau, 
Bloblobber Deco, and 
Nautilus 79. These were the final weapons that did not have a second version. - In addition, a fourth Kensa Collection was released, containing the
Kensa .52 Gal, 
Kensa Glooga Dualies, 
Kensa Mini Splatling and 
Kensa Rapid Blaster.
Abilities
- Existing gear abilities
Bomb Defense Up and 
Cold-Blooded were combined into a single ability, 
Bomb Defense Up DX.
- The new ability has the same effect as equipping both the old ones, with no downgrade.
- Existing Ability chunks and drink tickets were also converted.
- An additional new ability,
Main Power Up was also added to gear as well as in secondary ability slots.
- This ability's effect varies between different main weapons, even in the same class (see the ability page for details). Examples given prior to release were:
Splattershot - increase shot accuracy when firing while jumping.
Aerospray MG - increase ink coverage.
Splat Roller - increase damage.
Heavy Splatling - increase duration of firing in a burst.
Undercover Brella - speed up Brella canopy regeneration.
Inkbrush - Slightly increase movement speed while inking.
- This ability's effect varies between different main weapons, even in the same class (see the ability page for details). Examples given prior to release were:
- Gear that previously appeared in Lua error in Module:Shop at line 47: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value).Lua error in Module:Shop at line 47: attempt to index field '?'

Power Mask, 
Fringed Loafers, 
Power Boots Mk I) will now appear with Bomb Defense Up DX. - Both new abilities started appearing on gear in the Lua error in Module:Shop at line 47: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)..
- As a special promotion to allow players access to the new abilities, the first three pieces of gear added to the shop after the update's release (
Studio Headphones, 
White Tee, and 
Pink Trainers, in that order) had the Main Power Up ability, which could not have been acquired otherwise if the player opened the game with the previous version on the same day due to the way shop inventory is generated.[2]
