Update v2.1.0 for the third-person arena shooter Splatoon 3 is now available. This patch buffs a ton of weapons in the game, so you might want to get your hands on it as soon as possible.
The Dynamo Roller and Big Swig Roller are buffed in Update v2.1.0. The Dynamo Roller is a pretty good weapon in terms of how much ink you can splash over an area, but its damage output is reduced the farther you are from the target. If you’re a fan of this weapon, you might be happy to know that the Dynamo Roller’s damage rate reduction has been adjusted. Now, you can deal 100 damage to nearby enemies and 50 damage at maximum range.
On the other hand, the Big Swig Roller also covers a lot of ground, although it has a slightly faster attack speed than the Dynamo Roller. That said, the minimum damage from horizontal slashes has increased from 30 to 35.
