Version 5.1.0 is an update for Splatoon 2 that was released on 6 January 2020 at 02:00 UTC.[1]
Balance changes
“ | With this update, we have made adjustments to the abilities of certain weapons to effectively hold the line of battle or to ink turf from afar. However, we have limited these adjustments in such a way that they should not affect weapon selection for players experienced with using these weapons.
Following this update, we plan to consider similar adjustments for many other weapons going forward. Additionally, we will continue to watch for and analyze weapons that appear to have few or no drawbacks, and that also perform well against all other weapons. We plan to distribute the next update in late April 2020. |
