Nintendo is continually refining the Splatoon 2 competitive experience. As you’ll know, updates are pushed out on a regular basis as a result. In the latest patch, Version 3.2.1, the development team behind the title has sorted out a few issues with the Bubble Blower and also fixed a small problem in the game’s Salmon Run mode.
Take a look at the update notes below:
- Changes to Competitive Play
- Fixed an issue where bombs thrown from some types of Bomb Launchers would not cause damage when they directly hit a bubble from a Bubble Blower.
- Fixed an issue where a Rainmaker shot that hits a bubble from a Bubble Blower would only do some of the intended damage.
- Fixed an issue where Tenta Missiles fired while locked on to a Rainmaker barrier would not impact the position of the Rainmaker barrier.
- Changes to Salmon Run
- Fixed an issue where, when a lot of Snatchers are present, the max number of Golden Eggs on the stage goes down and new Golden Eggs do not appear.
- Downloading this update data will make it so that you cannot communicate with players using previous update data when in The Shoal.
Splatoon 2 recently celebrated its one year anniversary with a Splatfest. Tell us in the comments if you're still enjoying the competitive and team aspects of this title a year later.

Splatoon and Splatoon 2 are two of the best games Nintendo has released in the last decade, easily. There are minor things I would change, mainly with the nature of how match making works, but overall I continue to enjoy the game having had it since launch.
Nice to see that the bubble hasn’t yet burst.
Splatoon 2 is probably the game I play most on my Switch. Every now and then something new comes along and distracts for a little while, but I always come back to this game and dump a ton of hours into it.
I love it to pieces!
But they REALLY need to tweak the Explosher.
Not a fan of the Bubble Blower but it's always good to see them fix these issues.
It's crazy how little I play Splatoon 2 compared to how much I love it. It just demotivates me when hackers run rampant and I can't properly play with my friends unless doing League mode where they have to be B- in a bracket... And we can't really just take a "for the lulz" match of turf war without spending 50% of the time against each other.
Wish Nintendo would get with the times... Forcing random matchmaking doesn't prevent carries, which, in a casual mode, don't matter anyway... It just makes it so that whenever people aren't together, one of them throws the match so they can get into a new one and maybe play together.
Splatoon 2 is quite the game i have played since i owned a Nintendo Switch on december 25th 2017. I haven't tried the new weapons that were added in a update yet but I'll look into it very soon.
@Blizzia Why not just set up a private match with just you and your friends? You only need a minimum of two people for that. And their rank won't come into question on whether you can play together or not.
@Nerdling I know exactly how you feel. I quite literally always find myself coming back to Splatoon 2 no matter what's going on. It's just the replayability on it is staggering compared to most other games. But I will say I expect Smash to be the same when it comes out. Back when I played the Wii U religiously, it was Splatoon, Smash Wii U and Bayonetta 2 that kept me happy for days on end. All I needed was the three of them and I switched between them almost periodically no matter what new game came out, etc. I expect when I have all three on Switch (and pokemon 2019 too, eventually )that I won't need anything else ever again.
@Blizzia Have you tried Salmon Run? I'm a SR-only squid now and I haven't seen a single hacker in that mode yet (probably since all human players are fighting against AI there's no need to hack), and the difficulty above Profreshional 400+ is just crazy and satisfying af.
@Blizzia Just a matter of taste, it seems. You can still have fun playing Turf War with your friends. Whether it being on the same team or against each other, it can easily be a blast.
