Splatoon 3 players may try out the new Dread Wringer weapon when Drizzle Season launches. Unlike previous sloshers, this slosher fires two dollops of ink at once. Fans can also expect the return of Salmonid Smokeyard in Salmon Run, and new gear will be available at the Grizzco rewards counter. Moreover, the next Big Run event is set for September 1 at 5 PM PDT to September 3 at 5 p.m. PDT. Fans won’t have to wait much time at all to starting grinding Big Run once the new Season goes live. Further, players will be able to use the new Adjust Gear option while trying on select headgear and clothing items.

In Drizzle Season, players will have an option to set notifications whenever a friend uploads a replay. A new notification may also be activated to friends after you receive a “sweet item” from the Shell-Out Machine, and vice-versa. Moreover, players will be able to go into recon directly from the Stages menu.
One last finding today—you can now go on recon directly from the Stages menu! That includes Regular Battle and Anarchy Battle stages. And THAT includes not just current stages but upcoming stages!
