Splatoon 2, Nintendo`s Switch-exclusive shooter, has changed quite a bit since launch, and it`s now evolved once again. Update 2.1.0 is out now, and it adds a new game mode called Clam Blitz, among other things.Clam Blitz is a new way to play in which both teams need to throw as many Clams as possible into the other side`s basket. You`ll first need to break their basket open by forming a Power Clam, made by securing 10 standard Clams at once. You then hurl the Power Clam at the other team`s basket to force it open, allowing you to throw in both Power Clams (which are worth 20 points) and normal clams (three points). Outside of Clam Blitz, a bunch of weapons have been tweaked and more bugs have been fixed. See the full patch notes at the bottom of this article, via Nintendo.This latest patch follows update 2.0, which launched in November. That update added new gear, increased the level cap, and introduced a much-requested feature: the ability to change weapons between battles without needing to leave the lobby. It also added a new map for use in Salmon Run and tweaked a lot of the game`s balancing. Read more about that update here.Splatoon 2 was included in our five best Switch games of the year.
