DrunknMunky Veteran Posted June 1, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 1, 2015 Splatoon Gets New Mode, Map, and NES Zapper The first wave of free DLC content hits tonight at 7PM PT. By Jose Otero Nintendo announced today that Splat Zones, a ranked battle mode, would unlock June 1 at 7 PM PT, along with a new map and weapon. Back in March, Nintendo announced its plans for Ranked multiplayer in Splatoon, citing that the mode would unlock once enough players reached level 10. In Splat Zones, players battle over control of a single piece of turf on the map for a set amount of time. A team that holds the zone and burns down the control timer to zero is declared the winner. Starting tonight players will be able to unlock the N-ZAP85, a tribute to the light gun peripheral called the Zapper for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo describes the N-ZAP85 as a "rapid-fire shooter with some impressive ink efficiency." It comes with a Splat Bombs and an Echo-locator special weapon. The free map, called Port Mackerel, is set on a dock and it will unlock tonight at the same time. Splatoon released on Friday, May 29 in the US.
