I fucking hate the Heavy Splatling in Salmon Run. So useless.

weapons with heavy ink consumption really blow because a) you're getting swarmed 24/7 and b) there's a fair amount of enemies that require bombs which use a huge portion of your tank every time
 
Salmon Run this time requires heavy teamwork. Heavy splatling loses ink really fast, and the let's not forget about how the charger can easily be flanked by the mob.

So for me this time, only play Salmon Run with friends.
 
Yeah this weapon rotation is awful. 3 games and the only one I've finished had a griller wave and zerg rush wave(the only time the heavy splatling is useful).
 
I don't know how we won that game. Our octobrush dropped out in the last round, so we were left with a heavy splatling, charger, and dualies for a low-tide event. We dropped to one squid left with bosses all over the place several times, but somehow at the last second we got the final egg in.
 
Got email from Nintendo, giving wallpapers.

LTTP but good job #TeamMayo EU branch! Grand slam victory!

Heavy Splatling is one of the best in Salmon Run. It demolishes a lot of the bosses from a distance in one full charge. Like the inkbrush, its usefulness raises a whole new level once you get used to it.

The problem this time is the synergy between weapons. Just doesnt work.

"From a distance." Doesn't work very well when you have a high tide event.
 
Finally got a B- in Rainmaker and even got to the 'Ok' mark without any cracks in my bar. Changing my weapon really helps since I am usually one or two in my team instead of last or second to last. My kills also increase to 8-10 to 10-18. I also only got into one game that was a stomped for my side. Every other game I lost, the other side had to fight for it.

It feels like I am actually improving :)

Also, all buckets and brushes in rank can go burn somewhere. God, I hate those users, especially the brush users who hides in those tight corner that you can't shoot.
 
I really miss the Splatfest music. And Kraken Up from Splatoon 1. I don't have any jams in the current battle songs.

Grillers at high tide is bullshit and no one can ever convince me otherwise.

If there's ever more than one at high tide... well. Goldie Rush at high tide is pretty bad too.
Overall worst mode is still the hide and seek bullshit round
 
Second straight game with grillers for wave 3. Somehow we won this time(at the last second). Probably because we never had more than 1 person down. 2 people down=instant griller loss.
 
Can anyone confirm that the hero weapons are just skins for the online modes? Because if you can use the Lv3 hero weapons online, that'd be just broken.
 
I agree. And that's not only because most people don't know what's happening.

Its just not fun even when you know what you're doing. I pray that I get hide and seek during high tide so its not as tedious.

Just reskins of normal weapons. Hero Splattershot fires like the normal Splattershot though.
And just in case: No you can't unlock the Hero Brella yet. =(
 
Don't agree. The Splatling is great in Salmon Run, especially low tides where you waste the fodder. The mini Splatling, however, kind of sucks though.

That's not what I said. What I said was that the synergy between the weapons for Salmon Run today, doesnt work.

What is the current set? Will check SR once I'm done at work.



Any charge weapons lose its advantage at high tide, but heavy Splatling at least has quick fire rate to manage up close encounters.

Octobrush, splat dualies, heavy splatling, goo tuber

Also you can't even unlock the umbrella (because it's not unlocked in online yet...). I tried. thought it would be fun to be the only umbrella online :D
 
I've had success leading the grillers in circles. I know there's a good place you can do that in Marooner's Bay at high tide. Haven't tried it in the Spawning Grounds though.

Try jumping back and forth between the top of the map, right next to the egg-basket over the water to the other side. It's awesome.
 
Love when you meet the quota on the third wave and then your teammates just keep trying to get more eggs instead of reviving teammates and then you lose because you all die.
 
The trouble, for me, is that SR actually requires a lot of teamwork and coordination. Particularly if you get nasty waves like grillers at high tide.

With no voice chat possible in random groups it just makes the mode unbelievably frustrating unless playing with friends as you can't even helpfully explain to your group what to do. You're just praying they know.

The random weapons doesn't help either as you can get sets like today which are tricky to use and need good coordination to make work properly. The sort of coordination which is rare in pick up groups.

Some weapons are also seriously hard to use in SR. if you get someone who's never used a charger before having to use it then you're in for a rough time as chargers in SR need to be used in quite a specific way in my experience.

Haha I get that. What is actually good is when you've met the quota, there's a crapton of bosses in one part of the map, everyone's dead but one teammate and he's smart enough to know he should just wait it out on the other side of the map.
 
Salmon Run needs a button for "Use your fucking Sting Ray." Three fucking stingers on the map and the the Sting Ray is nowhere to be found. What are you even saving it for.
 
I swear to god they need to improve the tick rate something criminal. I just died from clear behind a wall, it's monstrously infuriating.
 
I just had the most trollish game of my entire Splatoon career. First one of our team members D/C and we had an actually troll on our team who did nothing but same 'Booyah'. So it was just me and another player doing everything. To add insult to injury, the group we were up against were a bunch of low-level newbies who I soloed without dying, giving my 14 kills. Lost by .2%.

WTF game?
 
Holy shit, just got put in a solo Salmon Run...
Also, Salmon Run feels fucking ridiculous tonight, I've had like 6 bosses at high tide on multiple occasions...
 
uh yeah dude

apart from anything else even in my ping region they lag a fraction more than most other players, and anything from A - S+ ranks are just full of murderers
Good to know I shouldn't feel bad in some of these ranked matches then. :(

It'll be like removing my weighted clothing when I move back to Aus.
 
So I've had this game for a week and playing with the Joycon grip is just hurting my hands. Is the Pro the best way to play for this game? Is it worth it even with the d-pad issues?
Look up the 8bitdo FC30 Pro. Just got one yesterday. Cheaper than the official, looks sick as hell, and really nicely built.

Heavy Splatling is bad in every mode tho.
 
Splatling was good in single player too.

Went back to it after the splatfest and found the few remaining sunken scrolls I was missing. Now all I need to find is one fish.

Oh, and for the heck of it I unlocked the hero replica splattershot.
 
nah decent in splatzones.

Treat it like a slightly more aggressive charger that can cover more area

unfortunately I play like every single weapon is an aerospray

a.k.a. a worse charger
