<p>Ahead of the <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/08/reminder_splatoon_2s_next_bonus_splatfest_takes_place_this_weekend_with_more_on_the_way">chicken verse egg Splatfest this weekend</a>, Nintendo has released a new update for its popular online team-based squid shooter, <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/splatoon_2">Splatoon 2</a></strong>.</p>
<p>It primarily changes the specifications for <em>some</em> of the main weapons. The patch notes mention how the development team has been observing the changes in weapon choice since it rolled out version 5.2.0 and made adjustments to certain weapons used more often and by higher rank players.</p>
<p>It’s also made an effort to improve weapons that players have started using more regularly – to give everyone more of an option in battle. Long-term analysis of weapon usage will continue and adjustments will be made accordingly in future updates.</p>
<h3>Ver. 5.3.0 (Released August 17, 2020)</h3>

</table>
<p>As a result of closely observing the changes in weapon choice after ver. 5.2.0 was released, we made adjustments to certain weapons that were still being used often or were often used by players of the highest rank, even after the changes in weapon choice evened out.</p>
<p>We’ve also made adjustments to improve those weapons that players started using a lot more often (and those with similar features) to give players more options.</p>
<p>We plan to perform a long-term analysis after this update is applied and make adjustments based on that.</p>
