Earlier this week, the official Japanese Splatoon Twitter account revealed the fun-looking Ultra Stamp special weapon was making its way to Splatoon 2 in the next update. That's not all, though. Version 4.2.0 - dropping on 6th/7th November, depending on your region - will also be introducing a new sub weapon known as the Torpedo.
Nintendo has posted a short video clip on its Twitter accounts teasing the new weapon. It takes on the form of a homing missile and will track any opponent player in sight. It changes shape midflight and explodes on impact, splattering ink across the battlefield. As is noted in the official tweet, opponents can take aim to try and prevent the incoming attack. Check it out in action in the video below:
Over on the Splatoon Tumblr page, it's also been announced a level will be under construction from now until 7th November. Here's the post:
From the evening of October 31st, The Reef will be closed for a short while due to repair work. During construction, the stage will not be available in Regular, Ranked, and League Battles. We expect construction to be complete by Wednesday, November 7th. We apologize for the inconvenience during this construction work and thank you for your cooperation.
Have you been anticipating the next Splatoon 2 update? What do you think of this compared to the Ultra Stamp? Are you surprised Nintendo has a few tricks up its sleeve when it comes to this game? Tell us below.

Looks pretty interesting. Still waiting for more weapons to get the Fizzy Bomb though. I want a Heavy Splatling with any of these new things.
I like it, it's an interesting way to force people out of hiding.
as weapons go, my play style would not find much use for the Stamp, but this, i could use this VERY strategically, very efficiently
@Yosher The Fizzy Bombs are so much fun, I'd like to see them on more sets too. I've never used a Blaster before but I've ended up putting in a ton of time with the Kensa Luna Blaster is now in my top five weapons for inked turf.
Now this I like. Doesn’t look like it fully splats, but heck it looks good. I need this on a Brella!
And a new blobboller set (not specifically with this sub weapon, but a new one in general). Also hoping for a new splash-o-matic, but I doubt that’ll happen.
But seriously, can’t wait to see what the new weapons are. 😄
Looking fun!
Cant wait too tackle it
Oh god, give me this with an autobomb launcher special on literally any mid-range weapon and I'll be ecstatic!
@Kalmaro A more noticeable version of the Seeker from the first game
@Reigestugatensho I can barely even remember the seeker from the first game now.
@Chomper96 I hate the bloplobber so much, haha. I went against a team of 4 using one during the splat fest....tge carnage was insane. I didn't think they weapon would kill since the blobs don't look fast but I was wrong... So very wrong.
We lost that match, and they even had a cool name. Something like "Angry bloplobber army" or something.
@BenAV Yeah, the Fizzy Bombs make the Luna a lot more fun to play for some reason. Probably because it also gives the weapon a good bit more mobility.
@Yosher True. It's a perfect Sub weapon for low range, high power weapons. Gives you a dangerous ranged attack as well as a quick way to ink a path to move around.
