I swear it's impossible to stop playing once you start. Damn this game.

 

[RecRoulette]

If you unlock the Hero replicas for online are they the upgraded versions?

Nope, they're literally the same as the default version of that weapon (Hero Slosher is just the Slosher). Same abilities too. Think of it as a different skin.

 

[HeroR]

Nothing worse than wiping an entire team except one person, yet your teammates are nowhere in sight.

ah, damn. Level 3 Hero Shot is pretty beastly in the campaign. lol

 

[Dark Cloud]

What does it mean when it says "dry" by your weapon? It's on the waiting screen for the next match.

 

[Diprosalic]

GAF always amazes me because people on here seem to always have the worst experiences with everything. I've only had a single match with a person drop, never had any connection issues aside from during the first Testfire, and haven't encountered any AFKers. You guys are magnets for issues

I would say every second match has an afk person in it which basically decides the winner right there.

 

[JershJopstin]

Y'all ready for some Salmon Run?

 

[Dark Cloud]

I had one more question. Does every piece of gear get 3 more abilities on their own? I noticed my hat was gaining experience, but I don't see it on my other gear.

 

[JershJopstin]

It depends how many stars the gear is. One extra ability per star.

 

[molnizzle]

No, the number of stars on the gear is the number of abilities it gets.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Now I'm mad. What kind of hours are 11pm to 11am for Salmon Run!? That's fucked up. So basically I get a few minutes and my daughter can't do it at all.

This is just so stupid. I don't think I've been this mad at a game in a long time.

No, the number of stars on the gear is the number of abilities it gets.

Ah ok thanks.

 

[clearestblue]

Yay Salmon Run! Bless being on the West Coast. Up at an almost reasonable hour.

They all *can* get three extra abilities by crafting with items we'll get from participating in Splatfest. As it is, you can only grind for ability slots that appear as "?" on the status screen.

Not sure what you're asking. Each piece of gear's ability count is limited by the amount of question mark slots on it, if that's what you mean.

You can add a slot to an item if you get a Super Sea Snail in a Splatfest, but even then it's not usually worth the expansion unless you REALLY like the main ability.

I'll play. Let me finish this one?

 

[random25]

I wanna go home now and play Salmon Run. Oh adult life.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Now I'm in a room where everyone is Japanese except me lol

 

[egruntz]

Spark you need more friends breh

 

[HeroR]

Jesus, where is my team. I am getting mob taking the Rainmaker and no one is protecting me.

 

[dLMN8R]

This salmon run is killing me! I'm a noob used to 10% pay grade and all I'm getting are 120% pay grade matches! Keep dying on round 2

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Spark you need more friends breh

Not everyone is on the west coast.
I have a brother joining soon.

Room for 1 or 2 more.

 

[HeroR]

I am starting to hate my team in Rainmaker. They don't do anything. If I am MVP or even second, there's something really wrong.

 

[egruntz]

I am starting to hate my team in Rainmaker.

Take a break and play Salmon Run with me and spark. His friend code above

 

[ChrisD]

Guess I should research more before answering

Nobody ever seems to use them, so it's fine to not know quite yet lol.

Will have to get in some Salmon Run tonight since I'll like sleep through tomorrow's daytime opening hours.

 

[egruntz]

Had no idea you could do a 2 man run. Nor did I think it'd count. Lowered me to 195%... Should've taken that more seriously. But can you even win with 2?

 

[Haines]

Salmon run rewards

I just play and cash em in at door?

Nothing more to put thought into? Or do i try and save em up?

 

[HeroR]

Is that room still open. I just had five games in a roll with a terrible team. One didn't know where they were taking the Rainamaker and kept going in circles.

 

[clearestblue]

Is there a way to join without adding each other? I wish you could make rooms like you could for local play.

 

[HeroR]

How do you join a room?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I'm going round avoid updating for a mo I think.

 

[Retro Edge]

I see people very often throwing 4 or 5 curling bombs at the same time, how are they doing that?

 

[Ghostbound]

I am starting to hate my team in Rainmaker. They don't do anything. If I am MVP or even second, there's something really wrong.

That definitely seems to be the hardest mode to carry in. I just finished a game where I got 31 kills, with the second highest being 14. We just barely won.

The problem, at least for me, seems to be that nobody knows how to use the Rainmaker. They'll usually pick it up and rush directly into the enemy base by themselves and die.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Started a new room.

 

[Sniffynose]

I see people very often throwing 4 or 5 curling bombs at the same time, how are they doing that?

It's their weapon's super ability, I thought the same until I figured it out lol

 

[HeroR]

Started a new room.

Can you write your friend code? I can't seem to find it.

 

[JonnyKong]

How do you guys know what percentage the difficulty is for your games of Salmon Run?

 

[SparksterMeta0]

How do you join a room?

In the friends section of Salmon Run.

You find if their room is "Joinable".

Got it. Wish Nintendo would make these thins easier.

 

[egruntz]

How are you supposed to get enough eggs during the stage where Goldie's come out of gutters? Even if I shoot at the light they don't come out quick enough for us to meet the quota.

 

[clearestblue]

Two people just added me from my Salmon Run game because we were having a squid party after each wave, is that any of you guys?

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I also saw the Trump one. Followed immediately by this



which reminded me that now is a good time to again remind everyone not to ink your base on first spawn!

What should you do instead?

 

[clearestblue]

Sparkster I just sent a friend request

 

[ChrisD]

What should you do instead?

Get to a good position. Hold good position. Establish control. Fill in base piecemeal on subsequent spawns -- usually with the intent to get a Special for re-entering the battlefield with.

Painting base thoroughly on spawn means no "free ground" to farm up a (possibly a game-shifting) Super when you die. Also, you give up all the good ground when you hang back for so long.

Your base should never be totally blank by the end of the round, but you really do put yourself at a disadvantage by spending time on it at the start.

 

[Shauni]

They keep putting Salmon Run up when I'm asleep. I'm sorry I work third shift Nintendo

 

[dLMN8R]

How do you guys know what percentage the difficulty is for your games of Salmon Run?

I'm trying to figure this out too.

Seems like you can only find out how difficult your Salmon Run round was after it's over? Maybe they don't want people to quit up front or something?

Also, I'm playing 120% salmon run rounds right now but I'm definitely not high enough level to be ready to play this. I'm still a "part timer".

Is this just because the matchmaking pool is too small now, so there's no one low enough level for me to get easier rounds for now?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Giving everyone the same type of weapon makes this salmon run brutal.

 

[Not]

Had no idea you could do a 2 man run. Nor did I think it'd count. Lowered me to 195%... Should've taken that more seriously. But can you even win with 2?

Wow, so 200% is easy as shit after all?
