Splatoon’s latest update cuts the shortcuts

While there might not be any new weapons for Splatoon going forward the game is still getting a bunch of adjustments to make sure it stands the test of time.

Later today a new patch will go live brining the game up to Version 2.5.0 and this update is all about patching out glitches in levels. There’s also a fresh dose of stability thrown in there for you as well.

Basically a few of the maps in the game have shortcuts that allow people to jump around maps and gain an unfair advantage. This fixes that and here’s the list straight from Nintendo themselves;

Stage Adjustments:

• Walleye Warehouse: Adjustments will be made to object placement in Rainmaker Mode.
• Arowana Mall: Adjustments will be made to prevent users from taking certain shortcuts in all modes.
• Piranha Pit: Adjustments will be made to prevent users from taking certain shortcuts in Tower Control Mode.

Battle Adjustments

• Museum D’Alfonsino: Fix the issue in modes other than Tower Control in which the area around the central rotating platform was registering as being inked in unintended ways.
• Mahi-Mahi Resort: Fix the issue In Rainmaker Mode in which breaking the Rainmaker barrier while in the central area caused the special gauge to fill more than intended.

Other

• Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.
