Nintendo has revealed the details on the upcoming Splatoon 2 4.2.0 update, which will release on Wednesday, Nvoember 7. The update adds the Ultra Stamp weapon, Torpedo sub-weapon, new Kensa Collection weapons, and the final Salmon Run stage.
Read the details below:
We just uncovered more details about an upcoming new special weapon! The Ultra Stamp lets players attack with an enormous hammer. Pressing and holding the ZR Button allows you to advance while striking with the hammer! It looks like you can guard ink attacks coming from the front, but your back is exposed.
If you press the ZR button while you’re in the air, the Ultra Stamp will flip vertically so you can attack opponents mid-air. You can also throw the stamp with the R button to attack a distant opponent! Of course, throwing away your special weapon will end your attack.
We’ve just received a fresh report about a new sub weapon called the Torpedo. When thrown near an enemy it changes shape and targets the foe, exploding on impact and splatting ink everywhere. Torpedoes thrown by opponents can be shot down with your attack.
On November 6th, the latest Kensa Collection weapons arrive!
First off, the Kensa Splattershot Jr. features the new Torpedo sub weapon so you can hunt down your opponents, and the Bubble Blower special weapon so you can hold your ground!
Next up, it’s the Kensa Octobrush! Paint the town red (or more accurately, your team’s ink color), with this new brush! It features the Suction Bomb sub weapon and the new Ultra Stamp special weapon!
Looking for an extra stylish way to splat your opponents? Check out the Kensa Undercover Brella! This one features the new Torpedo sub weapon and the Ink Armor special weapon.
Last but not least, it’s the Kensa L-3 Nozzlenose. This triple-burst shooter gets the Splash Wall sub weapon and the new Ultra Stamp special weapon.
Research indicates that these are the Ruins of Ark Polaris. This ominous location will be the final new stage for Salmon Run shifts.
We’ve also received an urgent announcement from Grizzco Industries:
An outbreak of Salmonids has appeared in the Ruins of Ark Polaris. We’re currently preparing a part-time crew for deployment the evening of Wednesday, November 6th. Part-timers looking to join this crew should take immediate action as soon as the work shift is ready.
Splatoon 2 is out now for the Nintendo Switch.

Awesome! Hopping back in!
I'm always keen to reopen Splatoon 2 but then remember that the other online games I play were free and I didn't buy the subscription to play them.... so I have another round of Paladins instead.
given that titles like Fortnite and Paladins are completely free to buy and free to download I would imagine that a large group of players moved from the likes of Rocket League or Splatoon 2 into those games when the online fee came into play, Great news for the truly free to play games though, considering that Rocket League costs €20 and has lootboxes and now the battle pass mechanic from Fortnite/Paladins I'm not too sad to see it get caught behind the paywall.
ack... meant Free to buy and free to play online... not download, would be ratty if you needed to pay extra to download a game you bought.... I best stop talking about it in case EA or Activision are listening :D
