Possibly. Can inklings fit in the bucket?

You use the custom jet squelcher right? That's what Robotguy does on Moray when his team is in control of the middle, he just stands there at the bottom to defend while the rest of his team goes up and Krakens if anyone comes close to him.
Squid form probably can

Just looking forward to the update more and more
The squid girl outfit is pretty cute. Wish we could get it here.
GameXplain has some footage of the new patch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9EweSk-IAw
New Underpass looks cool and I guess Slosher and Splatling both have Ink Strike.

Squid form would, which would make for some hilarious gameplay elements. Sniper fell off of his perch at Walleye? No problem. Just scoop him up and toss him back up there. Want to toss that one jerk on your team off of the stage? No problem. Enemy over the wall? Send in a teammate with your throws for even more pressure.
Biggest megaton is switching gear between rounds. =O
New stage at the 1:12 mark. Flounder Heights

So you're telling me it's the ultimate support bucket?
Yes it looks so different, can't wait to try it out
It would be so funny, the enemy thinks it's just one person and they try to corner them then you pull out the other person and throw him over them so you attack from both sides lol
Good catch, now we know the name of that stage they showed earlier

Huge improvement. Although I think this version of Underpass is the quite alike than the one that was shown long before the game was released... Could be the original version but for reason they decided to tweak it then?
It can be seen in this video:

Hey all. Can someone tell me if the new patch will allow me to play as a team with my girlfriend in regular matches and not just the madness that is ranked? Thanks
looks like you can change gear in between matches for both squad battle and private battle
nice
That new Underpass looks pretty slick.
Wow Urchin Underpass looks great, it has somewhat fixed the choke point by adding more area to hide behind and 2 opening on the perches. It may be my new favorite map.
Yeah, my general gameplan for Moray with CJS is to get to our sniper perch quickly and try to lay down paint on the lower area/ take down any enemies entering the area. Then I try to stay down at the bottom for the rest of the match and shoot anybody coming down the enemy ramp. If someone jumps down instead of taking the ramp I'll retreat up our ramp some to create space and limit their approach. If they decide to come straight up the ramp I'll probably just shoot them, if they decide to come up the side wall I'll probably back up a bit and bomb spam them as the come over the top, or possibly Kraken or retreat further if I get into enough trouble. I also try to use Kraken to deal with perched snipers.
In general with the longer ranged weapon sets I try to get the middle and then spend the rest of the match defending it. For the most part I think the maps are designed in such a way that favors the defending team and CQC as you move away from the middle. I'd rather stand back and be the last line of defense than go into a situation where I'll likely end up disadvantaged and then open a hole in our defenses. However, when I play the shorter range weapons I play more aggressively and am more likely to push into enemy territory.
This needs to happen in Spla2n.

They did the same thing in a Treehouse livestream to showcase Moray Towers. It's for demonstration purposes.

Most likely it's just for whatever preview version they got

Urchin is so redesigned that it's almost a new map. And seeing how the gatling gun works with the double charges really makes it more viable than if you only had 1 charge level.

Oh I see. Yes I use the custom jet squelcher, and I guess given my experience last night and what you just stated, it's probably in my best interests to not push past the middle for moray towers. Which makes sense, it's easier to get jumped or force close range fights while on the ramps.
Not sure exactly why I started making more aggressive pushes for Moray Towers, given that I knew before that shooting Chargers from underneath tends to be the better position for me. I guess I wanted to figure out how far in I can go with the CJS...
Thanks for that!
Yeah there we go, that all makes so much sense too
Out of curiosity...1) What do you do if the enemy has an E-Liter, or anything that can hit you from across the middle to your sniper perch? Do you still try to hold the sniper perch position until the middle is secured?
2) Have you ever found any reason to go past the middle with the CJS on Moray Towers?
Not in online games against randoms unfortunately, squads are ranked only. It would have to be in private matches

Is the Gatling guns quid wearing a new top?
The Splatling and Slosher win animation. Splatling animation is adorable and the Slosher animation is just great. Spinning the bucket on one finger, you win dev team.
Does the Splatling's arc shots do damage? I imagine they won't.

The hat is new but I can't tell with the shirt.

Yea I'm liking that hat
Looks good. Urchin Underpass will be interesting.
1) Nah, if I get to the perch and see an E-liter or such on the other side I typically go down the side ramp to the corner. Then I'll usually use the box for cover and try to spray as much if I can and wait for an opportunity to do something. I think you can spray pretty much a full path up the quarter pipe and wall from that position without leaving cover too much, so you can use that to get up to their perch and attempt to engage their sniper in CQC if necessary. Might be better to spray around your ramps some to charge up Kraken before you try that though, because if they're packing a typical E-liter setup with burst bombs attempting to come at them at close range could be a mess.Oh I see.

2) I pretty much just go up to their first level to engage snipers as necessary. I don't really venture past there as CJS at all.
Also possibly worth noting is that from the floor you can shoot up to just over the top of the sniper perch. At short enough distances from the wall. You can't really effectively engage a sniper with this method, but you can likely pressure them into backing off a bit to somewhere where they can't hit you.

Those victory animations.
Also, it looks like the Slosher has Burst Bombs and the Splatling has Splash Wall as their subs.
Omg I just saw that, those are fucking adorable
Holy hell the new Underpass looks amazing.

So according to IGN's video, LV24→LV25 need 120 points. Since we know that LV21→LV22 need 48 points. with some calculation we may need 11600 points to reach LV50.
In ranked mode winning is +3, 5 mins bonus +5, wonder what will be 1 min bonus.

Is it Suction? In the GameXplain video a Splash Wall and a Suction Bomb pop out and I can't tell who threw what.

Really happy that they opened up the choke points in Urchin. Biggest gripe on that map.

I think it comes with splash wall and inkstrike? You can see it around 4:45 in GameXplain's video.

The slosher and splatling both look like giant pains in the asses to fight against. The new urchin underpass also looks amazing.
I also hope we get something that will get people to stop wearing that stupid-looking gas mask.

You can see what weapons your Squad is using right in the lobby. You don't see what the other squad is using though.
I imagine the less time taken to win, the higher the time bonus. I think the KO bonus will be +5.

Looks like I can't sniper camp the hell out of the middle of Urchin anymore. Which is a good thing, but still, it was fun. And the slosher looks really fun to use.
