Nintendo has finally released update Version 1.3.0 for Splatoon 2 to players all over the world.

Fixed an issue preventing damage from being dealt to a Griller hit with a Sting Ray attempting to hit its weak point by shooting through it. Sting Rays that only hit the main body of a Griller will now also deal some damage.

Changes to Splatfest
