I just finally got a switch. On my lunch break at work I walked into gamestop like I usually do since there is one nearby. As I was about to leave a lady walks in with a box, I wonder what it is. It turns out that her parent's and her both ordered switches the last round of thinkgeek bundles and she needed to return one.

I had an oath sworn to the gods that I would only buy one if I lucked into one physically, and well, this was my moment y'all! I got it and splatoon 2. Looking forward to joining gaf squids online in some messy fun.

I'll post my friend code here once I set it up!

Super lucky! Congrats! Don't forget to quote the OP and join the discord.
 
Fun salmon run today. Made it to profreshional 100.

Had some great teammates. They'd defend loose eggs. They knew how and which bosses to kill. They'd wait for you before going up the elevator. Good stuff.

Dude, nice! Welcome to our inkredible community!
 
Got the first super bonus which was a double money ticket. Also got 20000 coins which means I finally was able to buy the splatterscope.

I'll keep playing to get the next super bonus and a helmet with another ability. I already have headgear with swim speed up.

Sucks to have a real chance and you see the carrier lose their nerve, back up, try and kill everyone


Fuck it dudes, be bold run that baby forward. Every step counts. Even to certain death
It bothers me so much when they'd rather sit there and try to splat everyone as opposed to pushing forward. Like, that's what the rest of us on the team are for.
 
I love that they force you - FORCE YOU - to play Salmon Run tutorials. They tried to make sure everyone understands how to work together.

Then you have three Profreshionals shooting at Maws. Five spawned throughout the course of the Run, nobody else ever threw a Bomb.

...how? why?
 
I hate how the game forces you to use random weapons in Salmon Run. I dont mind variety but some of these weapons like the splatling gun are a chore to use.

Not letting you play how you want seems to be the theme of the game.

I like that it keeps people from using the same "OP" load out that would surely come about. Also the mode would get pretty stale if I was using the same weapon for all three waves or playing with the same other three weapons every round. This is one place where forcing you to use different things feels appropriate for a more varied experience.

I wish I could use the Sting Ray special as good as the Stingers do in SR.

It's their insane turn speed. It's unfair. :(

Oh come on. The random weapons are half the fun of Salmon Run.
 
I can't say enough how much I adore the sketchy nature of Salmon Run. What an awesome weird little theme they have going on with this. I love that it makes you confirm on the tutorial saying "This job seems kind of sketch".

My work schedule is 11am-8PM though, so I never get to play it. Are all the b9nuses on that meter just for ONE day? Seems like you have to play it a ton in one day to get everything.
 
So is there an ELI5 between the abilities, sub abilities, unique abilities, etc.? This is my first time playing Splatoon and I am confused about that. I understand my gear rolls for abilities but that is the extent of it.

They could add bonus incentives to using different/random weapons instead of forcing it upon you. Rainbow 6 Siege doesnt force me to use certain operators or weapons, instead theres challenges with bonus xp/points to encourage variety.

Plus its not like this is some 50 wave horde mode where using the same weapon would get stale. Its 3-4 waves with lots going on already.

Edit: and if they HAVE to force random weapons on you. At least offer a choice between 2-3 random weapons.
 
Are octobrushes and buckets OP?

I feel like nobody can deal with them well and the maps favor closing on range to holding strong positions.

Reminds me of Luna Blaster hell in S1.

They're not too annoying to deal with when visible, but I find that most people playing with octobrush or slosher have a tendency to camp and surprise attack you... Best case scenario, you KO them when they KO you. Slosher is definitely worse than octobrush IMO.
 
I hate the "find the Goldie" waves on this map when the tide is low. Too much area to cover.
 
Wow, I just got Grillers for the first time, I guess my teammates were also pretty surprised cause we got totally wiped.

It sucks when there's a shitty selection of weapons, like those couple of runs with Inkbrush and Roller no decent ranged weapons, but I'd still rather have Nintendo choose the weapons for SR than rely on randoms. Nintendo's matchmaking has already shown that it doesn't do anything to make teams diverse in terms of weapons (hello teams of nothing but Aerosprays and Dualie Squelchers), so I don't want to be thrown into a SR game with players who happen to not have chose a good long range weapon, or no good DPS, or nothing that can throw out paint well.
 
Not my favourite weapons for this Salmon Run -- Jet Squelcher can struggle against Smallfry of all things and the Mini Splatling just isn't the Heavy Splatling -- but at least they're all easy weapons to pick up. Oh, and the Splat Dualies are actually pretty good once you remember concentrated fire is a thing. The dodging's a nice bonus.

All five times, they were clearly out of ink! Probably!
 
Are the Salmon Run hours the same every day? Is there a way to check without booting up my Switch?

Different hours each day. You can always check the schedule out on the Switch app on your phone. Within Splatfest it shows you the times of the events.
