Earlier this week Nintendo rolled out Version 6.0.1 of Splatoon 3. Although it's failed to fix certain problems associated with the latest Big Run event, apparently there's a patch coming in the future that can hopefully address this problem.

Apart from this, Nintendo has shared its usual list of patch notes, so in case you missed it, here they are in full courtesy of the official support page. Once again, this update hasn't fixed the Big Run reward bug:

Latest update: Ver. 6.0.1 (Released December 7, 2023)

Fixes to Player Controls

  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the screen to freeze for a short while during battles or work shifts.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused players who activated their Triple Splashdown special after performing certain actions to appear in a different location on the screens of other players.

Fixes to Salmon Run

  • Fixed an issue in Big Run that caused the news to not appear correctly when the event ended and prevented players from receiving a badge or decoration according to their high score.
    • Players who have already been affected by this issue can see the news play properly and also receive the badge or decorations they were supposed to receive by applying this update.
  • Fixed an issue that caused shots from the Crab Tank’s cannon to do less damage than before when hitting the body of a Steelhead while it’s growing a bomb from its head.

Other Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where, if a player’s system went into sleep mode and disconnected from the internet, then came out of sleep mode and the player restarted the game, the player would return to the square instead of where they were before.

Note: Compatible with Ver. 6.0.0 battle replays. Not compatible with Ver. 5.2.0 or earlier battle replays.
