According to Nintendo, version 1.1.1 of Splatoon Raiders is now live on Nintendo Switch 2 as the game’s first major post-launch patch. The update addresses several technical bugs reported by players and introduces quality-of-life adjustments, including a streamlined mechanic for releasing a tank’s limiter without needing to hold down the A Button.
General Bug Fixes and Tank Limiter Updates
The 1.1.1 patch targets specific gameplay disruptions across multiple modes, according to official patch notes released by Nintendo. Players can now release a tank’s limiter directly without holding the A Button. Additionally, developers resolved an issue where the Hideout Ship and dungeons failed to hide interface elements like the Showstopper Gauge after a period of inactivity.
Combat mechanics also received necessary corrections. Nintendo confirmed a fix for the Emergency Damage Up effect, which previously failed to apply properly to explosion damage added through the Splatchet’s Explosive Steps. Movement fluidity has also been restored; players occasionally found themselves stuck and unable to move after executing a Splatchet attack immediately following a wall-based Squid Roll.
Environment and Arcade Fixes in Splatoon Raiders
Exploration and side-content bugs also made the list in the latest deployment. In the Soyu Cliffs area, according to the official rundown, a persistent bug allowed a Fish Stick to move directly into the surrounding terrain, rendering it impossible to defeat. Arcade enthusiasts playing HOPPING on the Arcade Cabinet will notice that the Exploration Bot no longer stops hitting Salmonids unexpectedly.
Stability improvements round out the update. Nintendo fixed a crash bug tied directly to the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, which could trigger if a user tapped the touchscreen on the fog-swirl screen immediately after launching the game. Several unspecified minor adjustments were also bundled in to improve overall gameplay flow.
