Downloadable content, or DLC, is additional post-launch content released for Splatoon. Nintendo frequently releases new weapons, stages, modes, features, and gear. Usually, Nintendo announces the release date of upcoming content via their social media accounts. An Inkopolis News announcement introduces the new content when it is released. Interestingly, most additional content is already in Splatoon, waiting to be unlocked by Nintendo. There have been 16 new weapons, 5 new stages, 3 new mode categories, and 3 new modes released thus far.
Existing DLC weapons
Type | Main Weapon | Sub Weapon | Special Weapon | Description | Release Date | Weapon Image |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Shooter | N-Zap '85 | Splat Bomb | Echolocator | Each shot is kind of weak, but the high rate of fire makes up for it. This weapon's popularity is due not only to its helpful special but also to its snazzy futuristic design. | June 1, 2015 | File:Weapont Main N-ZAP '85.png |
Roller | Inkbrush | Sprinkler | Inkstrike | A newly developed weapon with high mobility and a sturdy brush design. Its ink trail is narrow, but it paints the ground at incredible speed and delivers swift close-range attacks. | June 5, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Inkbrush.png |
Shooter | Splash-o-matic | Suction Bomb | Bomb Rush | One for the pros. Not outrageously powerful, but highly accurate. This weapon really comes into its own in the hands of someone with good aim. | June 13, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Splash-o-matic.png |
Charger | Custom E-liter 3K | Squid Beakon | Kraken | A special version of the E-liter 3K that enables new strategies using the Squid Beakon and the powerful Kraken. | June 17, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Custom E-liter 3K.png |
Shooter | L-3 Nozzlenose | Disruptor | Killer Wail | A semiautomatic weapon that fires three shots for every pull of the trigger. Keeping up a sustained barrage requires impeccable timing, but accuracy and range are good. | June 17, 2015 | File:Weapont Main L-3 Nozzlenose.png |
Shooter | Luna Blaster | Ink Mine | Inkzooka | A blaster tailored to close-quarters combat. It fires a shot that detonates powerfully at close range, and the Inkzooka special can help handle opponents who are farther away. | June 24, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Luna Blaster.png |
Roller | Carbon Roller | Burst Bomb | Inkzooka | A strong, lightweight roller made from carbon fibre. Superb mobility means it spreads ink and delivers attacks with unparalleled speed. | June 27, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Carbon Roller.png |
Shooter | Custom Dual Squelcher | Squid Beakon | Killer Wail | A very special Dual Squelcher. The teammate-deploying Squid Beakon and cover-penetrating Killer Wail ensure you'll be a contributing factor. | June 27, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Custom Dual Squelcher.png |
Shooter | Sploosh-o-matic | Squid Beakon | Killer Wail | The perfect weapon for getting up close and personal! High attack power and rate of fire, but its range is extremely limited. | July 7, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Sploosh-o-matic.png |
Shooter | .96 Gal Deco | Splash Wall | Kraken | A bedazzled .96 Gal shooter. Splat your opponents through the included Splash Wall, or engage them up close and personal with the Kraken. Versatility is the name of the game. | July 7, 2015 | File:Weapont Main .96 Gal Deco.png |
Shooter | N-ZAP '89 | Sprinkler | Inkstrike | A follow-up to the N-ZAP '85, now with a sleek orange paint job. The sub and special have changed too, but its popularity remains as high as ever. | July 18, 2015 | File:Weapont Main N-ZAP '89.png |
Roller | Octobrush | Squid Beakon | Kraken | A heavier brush with fatter bristles. Uses a lot of ink but offers a wider ink trail and excellent mobility. Can be swung to fling large globs of ink. | July 18, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Octobrush.png |
Shooter | Neo Splash-o-matic | Burst Bomb | Inkzooka | A Splash-o-matic with a different Sub and Special setup, enabling a different fighting style. Throw the opponent off balance with Burst Bombs and use the Inkzooka to pick off distant foes. | July 22, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Neo Splash-o-matic.png |
Charger | E-liter 3K Scope | Burst Bomb | Echolocator | An E-liter 3K fitted with a scope. It isn't just easier to target opponents from a distance - the E-liter 3K Scope boasts the greatest range of any weapon. | July 22, 2015 | File:Weapont Main E-Liter 3K Scope.png |
Roller | Inkbrush Nouveau | Ink Mine | Bubbler | An Inkbrush with a different sub and special setup. Fight on your own terms by using the sub to distract the opponent so you can get in close where this weapon shines. | August 1, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Inkbrush Nouveau.png |
Shooter | Range Blaster | Splash Wall | Inkstrike | A modified Blaster with a shot that travels farther before exploding. The ability to attack opponents who are farther away comes at the cost of short-range power. | August 1, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Range Blaster.png |
Slosher | Slosher | Burst Bomb | Inkstrike | A weapons-grade bucket that hurls ink straight ahead over an impressive range. By adjusting the angle, it can be used to hit opponents who are up high or even on the other side of a wall. | August 5, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Slosher.png |
Splatling | Heavy Splatling | Splash Wall | Inkstrike | Charge it up and let 'em have it with all six barrels! A maximum charge will unleash the full rapid-fire potential of this weapon. | August 5, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Heavy Splatling.png |
Shooter | Octoshot Replica | Suction Bomb | Inkzooka | A Shooter modeled after the weapon carried by Elite Octolings. Judd said he found it lying around somewhere. It seems pretty similar to the Tentatek Splattershot... | August 5, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Octoshot Replica.png |
Special | Rainmaker | N/A | N/A | This weapon is only featured in the Rainmaker mode. Carry the Rainmaker to the enemy team's base in order to win. It fires ink like an Inkzooka after being fully charged. | August 14, 2015 | File:Weapont Rainmaker.png |
Shooter | L-3 Nozzlenose D | Burst Bomb | Kraken | An alternate version of the existing L-3 Nozzlenose. Its stats are the same with the exception of its different Sub Weapon and Special Weapon. | August 28th, 2015 | File:Weapont Main L-3 Nozzlenose D.png |
Charger | Bamboozler 14 Mk I | Splash Wall | Killer Wail | The Bamboozler 14 Mk I is a reissue of a weapon used during the Great Turf War. It charges up extremely quickly and boasts great range even when not fully charged. | August 28th, 2015 | File:Weapont Main Bamboozler 14 Mk I.png |
Existing DLC stages
Name | Total BP | Description | Mission | Release Date | Image |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Port Mackerel | 1852 | Port Mackerel is a shipping yard and, as such, there are numerous containers littering the field, making for several narrow paths in a grid shape. In the middle is another gridded area and on either side of it is an open area and inkable forklifts that ride back and forth across all three lanes. There also exist two upper paths from either spawn point that run around the perimeter of the map, ending in the middle area. It includes many corridors, such as ones around large, colored boxes and crates. | None | June 1st, 2015 | File:PortMackerel.jpg |
Kelp Dome | 2125 | Kelp Dome is shaped like a large square with rounded edges. It includes a variety of paths and ramps divided by uninkable glass containers, which appear to be growing various plants. A network of grated walkways are also found above the central area and its connecting paths, allowing players to ink turf from above. | Octoling Invasion | June 10th, 2015 | |
Bluefin Depot | 1665 | Bluefin Depot consists of 4 different levels, the two uppermost most of which can only be accessed by the enemy team by grate walkways. The lowest level is divided by a body of water and requires travesing the third level to switch parts. | Octoling Uprising | June 20, 2015 | File:Railroadstage.png |
Moray Towers | 1760 | Moray Towers consists of two large towers connected by a series of diagonal ramps. It includes two Spawn Points on opposite towers, meeting together in the center through a network of ramps. Although the large amount of ramps provides an easy way to ink turf, players may also jump from ramp to ramp for a quick route to the center. | None | July 11, 2015 | File:MorayTowers2.jpg |
Camp Triggerfish | 2316 | Camp Triggerfish consists of a series of bridges over water, a large area near the team's spawn, along with a shelter that can only be accessed via a grated pathway in Turf War. Both bases at Camp Triggerfish have a set of floodgates that open and close periodically. When the gates are down, it’s easier for other teams to enter. | None | July 24, 2015 | File:CampTriggerfish5.jpg |
Flounder Heights | 2375 | Flounder Heights is a map set on an apartment complex with many high vantage points and low, corner-based areas. The large amount of walls and the height of the buildings are what makes Flounder Heights so large. | None | August 20th, 2015 | File:FlounderHeights2.jpg |
Existing DLC modes/mode categories
Name | Type | Weapons | Controllers | Release Date | Image |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ranked Battle | Online multiplayer mode category | All | GamePad | June 1st, 2015 | File:WiiU Splatoon 25 RankUp EN.jpg |
Ranked Battle is a category of modes in Splatoon. It is accessible by level 10 and higher players. The modes included in this category require a higher level of strategy compared to regular modes, and wins and losses are counted toward players' ranks. Players begin with a 'C-' rating, but are able to improve by winning matches. Ranked Battle was released when a large amount of players reached level 10. | |||||
Splat Zones | Online multiplayer Ranked Battle mode | All | GamePad | June 1st, 2015 | File:WiiU Splatoon 21 SplatZones EN.jpg |
In Splat Zones, teams battle it out for control of the stage's Splat Zones. Every stage has 1 or 2 Splat Zones. Cover a Splat Zone with ink to take control of it. Then try to keep it in your control for as long as possible! The timer starts once you gain control of all the Splat Zones. When your team's timer reaches 0, you win! But lose control of a single Splat Zone and the timer will stop. There's a penalty for losing all of the Splat Zones to the enemy... So guard them with all your might! If the battle ends without a winner... the team with the lowest count on their timer wins the match! In this mode, Battle Points are awarded based on your timer. Pro tip: if you lose control of a Splat Zone... wait for your team to regroup instead of trying to be a hero. | |||||
Tower Control | Online multiplayer Ranked Battle mode | All | GamePad | July 1st, 2015 | File:Tower Control splatoon tumblr.png |
In Tower Control, two teams of four Inklings fight to control a central Tower. The Tower is a tall, blue structure with ink-able walls and a grate platform for players to stand on. When a player reaches the top of the Tower, it will begin moving on a rail toward enemy territory. If the player standing on the Tower falls off the platform or gets killed, after a short amount of time, the Tower will begin moving rapidly back to the center. Because of this gameplay element, the player on the Tower is a constant target and must be guarded by teammates on the ground. | |||||
Private Battle | Online/LAN multiplayer mode | Host chooses | GamePad | August 5th, 2015 (NA)[a] (August Update Event) August 6th, 2015 Template:AUEU (August Update Event) |
|
Private Battle allows players to create custom lobbies that friends can join. The host can pick the stage, the mode, and the weapons players will use. The host chooses how many players (from 1-4) are on each team, allowing for even (such as 1v1 or 4v4) or uneven (such as 1v4 or 1v2) battles. Online and LAN lobbies can be made with Private Battle.[1] | |||||
Squad Battle | Online/LAN multiplayer mode | All | GamePad | August 5th, 2015 (NA)[a] (August Update Event) August 6th, 2015 Template:AUEU (August Update Event) |
|
In Squad Battle, players can form a squad of 2-4 friends and play Ranked Battle modes with other squads. If the squad is comprised of 2 players, another 2-player squad will join the team in battle. If the squad is comprised of 3 players, it will be treated as a 4-player team and may face against 4-player teams. | |||||
Rainmaker | Online multiplayer Ranked Battle mode | All + Rainmaker weapon | GamePad | August 14th, 2015 | |
The objective of this mode is to carry the Rainmaker into the enemy team's base, decreasing the amount of distance left to travel along the way. The device is encased in a shield similar to a Zapfish's bubble in Octo Valley, and must be freed before it can be captured. If the match ends without a team successfully carrying the Rainmaker to its designated spot, the team with the lowest amount of distance left wins. Because the Rainmaker is so heavy, the player holding it cannot Super Jump. If it is dropped, a shield will reform around it and it can be recaptured by any other player. The Rainmaker is also capable of shooting twisters of ink like an Inkzooka, allowing the player in control to have a form of defense. |
