A new weapon, the Plastic-Bottle Shot Replica, joins Splatoon 3!
It is designed after the Plastic-Bottle Shot featured in Splatoon Raiders.

Players with save data that has cleared the main story of Splatoon Raiders can claim it at the Lobby Terminal in Splatoon 3.
The Plastic-Bottle Shot Replica shares the exact same stats and performance as the Tentatek Splattershot.

Battle Balance Adjustments Implemented

In Update Ver. 11.3.0, Nintendo adjusted certain main weapons, special weapons, and points required to charge specials.
For select main weapons, maintaining coverage safely in Splat Zones or exerting sustained pressure on opponents is now more difficult than before.

For the Carbon Roller, vertical swings from a distance deal increased damage.
For the E-liter 4K, the Ink Saver (Main) ability offers a slightly reduced ink consumption benefit.

Additionally, Nintendo resolved an issue where performing specific inputs immediately after launching off a wall with Squid Surge allowed players to travel farther horizontally than intended.
The next update will focus primarily on battle balance adjustments.
