Version 5.3.0 is an update for Splatoon 2 that was released on 19 August 2020 at 01:00 UTC. It was announced on social media on 21 July 2020.[1]
Balance changes
“ | As a result of closely observing the changes in weapon choice after ver. 5.2.0 was released, we made adjustments to certain weapons that were still being used often or were often used by players of the highest rank, even after the changes in weapon choice evened out.
We've also made adjustments to improve those weapons that players started using a lot more often (and those with similar features) to give players more options. We plan to perform a long-term analysis after this update is applied and make adjustments based on that. |
