Splatoon 2 update 4.6.0 adds 12 new weapons
New weapons and Weapon Badges land in the latest Splatoon 2 update version 4.6.0 on the Nintendo Switch.
Ink-slinging shooter fans can now download Splatoon 2 update version 4.6.0. The latest Splatoon 2 update is one of the biggest in the game's history, offering Weapon Badges as well as the final suite of 12 new weapons. These are the last of the new offerings to land in the game, and they come alongside an update offering various tweaks and balances.
The new Weapon Badges are an interesting addition. Mean to "act ask marks of pride showing just how much you've used a particular weapon," the badges track ink output for each bit of slippery ammunition spilled. They unlock at set intervals of 100,000, 500,000, and 1 million, and can be applied to weapons via the equipment screen once unlocked.
The Splatoon update 4.6.0 also adds the last of the game's new weapons. There are a dozen in total, reaching across each of the game's previously established weapon varieties.
