You guys — an insane amount of data in one update! Nintendo officially pushed Splatoon 3 Ver. 11.2.0 this week with deep multiplayer balance changes that actually show them listening to long-term feedback after ver. 11.0 went live months back. They shrunk blaster explosion collision detection so it sits somewhere between the old and new versions, which softens some of those aggressive melee interactions while keeping them relevant! The N-ZAP '85 and '89 both got an ink splatter fix — now ink falls around your feet more easily rather than awkwardly elsewhere. They also boosted L-3 Nozzlenose with a 5% speed bump plus longer flight distance, which is huge for rapid shots across the map. If you're on Brella, Undercover Series gets about 8% less ink consumed per shot and the Special Weapon Overhaul is where it really shines: Trizooka AND Inkjet both got their damage against Big Bubblers increased by a massive 30%, while Booyah Bombs now take ~30% LESS splatana damage when armored.
The X Battles system just underwent a total team-division overhaul — the goal is to stop weapons with similar ranges from stacking on one side so matches aren't predictable. They also halved the "immediate disconnect" period for Splat Zones, Tower Control, Rainmaker and Clam Blitz so teams don't instantly get no-contest calls when someone drops at second zero. The points rebalance table is a beast to read but it matters — your favourite weapon got its numbers tweaked: Sniperwriter 5B went from 200 down to 190, the .52 Gal jumped up by 10 to 210, and Gold Dynamo Roller climbed from 180 into 190. The whole thing is clearly built around a team-based meta — they even tweaked how often players battle opponents with similar preferred ranges for better competitive flow!
But the news doesn't end at patch notes: Splatoon Raiders gets its very own direct on June 30th, and a new Joy-Con 2 color set drops July 23rd alongside it. That's two major content beats this month alone — insane momentum for the franchise right now! If you want to run your favourite weapon through the specific math himself all the numbers are listed out in full detail by team Squid Pro Quo and the dev notes below. Go check it, grab those medals, and get back on the battlefield because 11.2 is genuinely one of the more comprehensive updates they've ever pushed for a single season. This is probably going to be the definitive build through fall.
