As has become tradition, another weekend brings with it another new weapon in Splatoon 2, offering more and more destructive options for battling Inklings.
This time around we see the return of the H-3 Nozzlenose D, making a comeback from the original Splatoon. It will come with the Suction Bomb as its sub weapon, and the Ink Armor as its special, changing things up from the previous game which saw the Point Sensor and Inkzooka in their place.
As always, the update will likely kick in at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern today (16th March), which means the early hours of the morning (2am UK / 3am CET) in Europe.
Will you be giving this one a go this weekend? Are you happy that the same setup has been carried over from the original Splatoon? Let us know down below.

Only just ordered this - what’s the deal with new weapons are they limited time or do they get permanently added? Multiplayer or single and multiplayer? Cheers for info
I’ll stick with my splat Dulies
@Stocksy New weapons are added on an almost weekly basis. They are free updates and apply in all modes except Single Player. As Single player only allows one of each weapon type to be used which are typically called Hero weapons. Every other mode includes Salmon Run, Turf War, Ranked Battle and League Battle which are all online-based.
@Stocksy New weapons are added regularly to the online modes (except for Salmon Run, which has random weapons). They never go away, but you have to buy them with in-game currency you get for playing battles, an before that, they need to be unlocked by leveling up. Hope that helped!
@mgnoodle You and me both!
I've never got on with the Nozzlenose weapons, don't like having to repeatedly press the R2 button which isn't really suited for long gaming sessions. If they had the option for you to just hold R2 and it would still fire in the same way I might be interested.
@mh4 @thatnytedaez - cheers for info.
@Stocksy Of course! 😊
I'll be playing some Splatoon 2 this weekend. I absolutely love this game!
This has the same sub weapon/special combo as the N-Zap. I might give this a spin on Tower Control this weekend
Crapplenose is the worst. Can't believe they actually brought it back from the 1st game.
The Nozzlenose weapons have actually grown on me through me being forced to use them while I am working Salmon Run shifts. In fact, there are many weapons that I never would have normally used if not for being loaned them to collect eggs. I like the accuracy and power of the Nozzlenose, which in my opinion, makes up for its lack of continuous fire. I will be adding this new Nozzlenose to my weapon load out selection!
