Version 9.2.0 (Splatoon 3)
Version 9.2.0 is an update to Splatoon 3 that released on 21 November 2024 at 01:00 UTC. This update focused on balance changes and bug fixes.
Notes
| “ | This update focuses on making it possible to use certain amiibo features even when not connected to the internet as well as adjusting the balance of battles.
We adjusted the specifications for Splattershot and Splattershot Pro with the intent of expanding the range of situations these main weapons can handle. Additionally, these weapons have specifications that form the benchmark for various other weapons. By improving these, we also intend to make room for further improvement of specifications for weapons with similar distance specializations as these weapons in future balance changes. For other main weapons, we have made changes that bring out their strengths and make them easier to use for players who regularly use them. For Fizzy Bombs, while the efficiency of the strategy of continuously throwing Fizzy Bombs from afar will decrease, by making it easier to focus damage where aimed and create an ink path, we have made it easier to support moving to the frontlines. For Torpedos, by giving more time to shoot them down, we have made it easier for players they are thrown at to handle them. Also, by making them easier to throw when aiming at enemies' sides or backs, we have improved their usability for the players who use them. For the Autobomb, we made changes to make it easier to take advantage of their trait of revealing enemies swimming in ink. With the Angle Shooter, we made changes to make it easier to take advantage of its trait of affecting more distant enemies than other sub weapons. For the Booyah Bomb, we have made changes to make it easier to take advantage of its properties even in fast-paced battles between experienced players. The next update will focus on changes to the balance of battles based on long-term analysis of battle data. |

Changes to Salmon Run

- In Tricolor Turf War, made it possible for players on different attacking teams to gauge each other's positions by making it so that the names of players on the other attacking team display on the screen. Those players' icons will also display on the Turf Map.
Bug fixes
Fixes to player controls
- Fixed an issue with Splat Bombs and Autobombs thrown in Salmon Run stages or stages with moving terrain where sometimes the thrown bomb's actual trajectory differed from the prediction line displayed when pressing the Button.
- Fixed an issue where, when a player moving toward the screen quits holding a charged shot and returns to Inkling or Octoling form, sometimes the character's orientation became confused.
- Fixed an issue where, when a player activated their special weapon while simultaneously performing repeated dualie Dodge Rolls while their remaining ink was low, sometimes a dualie Dodge Roll was performed after activating the special weapon.
- Fixed an issue where, when a player performed repeated dualie Dodge Rolls or splatana lunges after doing a Super Jump, sometimes that player's position on other players' screens would be greatly misaligned and stay that way.
- Fixed an issue where, when a player activated a Big Bubbler while swimming on a wall, sometimes the Big Bubbler would be placed inside terrain.
- Fixed an issue where, when a player used Kraken Royale to charge from diagonally above at a Splash Wall placed diagonally by an opponent, sometimes damage would not be dealt to the Splash Wall even though there were no other obstacles.
- Fixed an issue where, when an attack hit an inkrail start point right before the inkrail effect ended, sometimes it would appear as if the effect had extended even though the effect did not actually extend.
Other fixes
- Fixed an issue where, when players with certain hairstyles equipped the Captain's Cap Replica, their appearance did not display as intended.
- Fixed an issue where, when a player tapped an amiibo to remember the Grand Festival while a Splatfest was active, on rare occasions the game would crash.
