Splatoon’s Next Update And Eight New Weapons Are Coming Next Week

A brand-new update is on its way to Splatoon. The version 2.7.0 update will go live on the evening of April 12. The Wii U shooter’s online services will be unavailable from 4:50 p.m. to 6 p.m. – during which the server will be under maintenance in preparation for the upcoming update. Eight new weapons will also be added on April 12. Known as Sheldon’s Picks Vol. 1, the new weapons include the Wasabi Splattershot, Berry Splattershot Pro, Fresh Squiffer and the Permanent Inkbrush.

      1. Maybe, but looking at the thumbnail pic, I can say I’ve never seen a weapon that looks quite like that. It’s almost certainly a Splattershot Pro, but I’ve never seen one with that color scheme.

        And what, exactly, defines “new?” I believe that, though most weapons, subs, and specials are reused, they make new sets, and I’m excited to see some new sets for new tactics and fighting styles. Only 4 sets use the Ink Mine as a sub, for example, making it the least-used subweapon; I wish to see more sets use it.

        1. Man Berry Splattershot Pro is gonna be top tier. It’s gonna be ridiculous for zoning. That Squiffer with Kraken looks pretty darn good too

  1. Hmm, I wonder if another update will come that ups the level cap again to 99 or so. I’m almost to 50, and feel like there won’t be much to do once I reach it, not even Ranked Battles.

      1. It’s not the only reason, but I feel like when I cap my level, I’ll feel less motivated, save for Splatfests when there’s a new meter to build, stuff to win, and all decency goes out the window.

    1. So mate it seems you’re S+99…. This is a reason to play, a number that changes to how good you are is the ultimate motivation, however the level is a number that increases no matter how bad you play, heck you can play with the game pad with your toes and you will cap it off, weather it’s 20,50, or even 1000… To me the level is nonsense compared to your rank
