Nintendo has announced that a new update is coming to Splatoon 3, which will introduce a prize for anyone who has cleared the main story in Splatoon Raiders.
Players with completed Splatoon Raiders save data on their Nintendo Switch 2 will soon be able to receive a Plastic-Bottle Splattershot Replica in Splatoon 3 – a weapon previously exclusive to Raiders.
The Plastic-Bottle Shot Replica is coming to Splatoon 3!

Like the Tentatek Splattershot, the Plastic-Bottle Shot Replica includes the Splat Bomb sub-weapon and the Triple Inkstrike ability.
There’s not yet a specific release date for the update, with Nintendo vaguely stating it is coming “soon.”
Splatoon Raiders is available now on Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Wire’s review of the game said it “manages to do everything it needs to right, bringing the gameplay and spirit of the series back in a new way.”
