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

Existing DLC modes/mode categories

Name Type Weapons Controllers Release Date Image
Ranked Battle Online multiplayer mode category All GamePad width=auto 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 width=auto 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 width=auto 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 width=auto August 5th, 2015 (NA)[b] (August Update Event)
August 6th, 2015 (EU/OC)[a] (August Update Event) 		Private Battle Lobby.jpg
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 width=auto August 5th, 2015 (NA)[b] (August Update Event)
August 6th, 2015 (EU/OC)[a] (August Update Event) 		Squad Battle Menu.jpg
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 width=auto August 14th, 2015 RainmakerMain.jpg

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.
