Splatoon Update 2.2.0 Hits Next Week

Nintendo is detailing a new set of fixes for Splatoon, coming this Tuesday.

The fixes will balance a few new weapons as well as matchmaking changes and fix a few small stage glitches. It seems stages will also get a few tweaks for one of the newer ranked modes: Rainmaker. The biggest set of weapons that are balanced are rollers, which will be reducing its spread, making more like the shotgun type-range it always meant to deliver.
In other news, the Rapid Blaster will be unlocked tonight for Inklings to do battle with.
Here are the patch notes from Nintendo:
