How do you all use the Splat Gatling/Splatling or whatever it's called? It looks baller as hell but I tried it and that windup is a hell of a thing.

You don't have to fully charge it like with a Charger. Wind it up a little, release, repeat.

You don't have to fully charge a Charger, either. It's usually better to do so, but there's situations where a usual charge is useful too. Particularly when spreading ink.

Finally beat the single player. Really liked the last boss, though I would have liked a little more added over Splatoon 1. The last phase was sweet! Needed more stuff like that! If you haven't gone back to fight it a second time, you definitely should.

I appreciate that the single player lets you find out which weapon is the worst to use in each level.

it's almost always the roller

Edit: I assume that beating every level with a specific weapon unlocks it at Sheldon's shop, yeah?

It's splatling.

E: Also it follows that it should, since you can get the hero shot replica by beating every level with it.

I'm feeling some frustration at being the only one on my team that's trying to push out of our own area at all. This usually leads to ridiculous death streaks as I try to hold out long enough for my team to spawn on me on the other team's side but then I die and I see that they're all just kind of hanging out in the spawn :(

I'm starting to feel like that C'MON cartoon except I have a terrible k/d so I can't talk.

There was just a scramble with pubbies, you should be good now.

e; Jarogue: if you have the stingray and a fly fish spawns in that spot on high tide, have to burn it to take them down right away. Are you having trouble with auth gettin ginto discord or just don't have it?

There's a bot for verifying the identity of goons. Type "!authme Jarogue" in chat and it should message you with instructions.

They're Ability Chunks. Get ten of a kind and Merch can turn it into an sub-ability for a piece of gear you have.

It's just min/max stuff for the endgame where you wanna have a specific style of clothing but also get certain bonuses. Don't worry about using them right now.

Can anyone offer advice as to how to use the Stingray? It is very hard to aim and the aim adjustments move at a glacial pace, so I'm not sure what I should even be doing with it.

If you need to readjust your aim outside of small movements stop firing and re-aim, it's much faster. The further away from your targets the better, as small adjustments span larger distances the further away you are. Use it in conjunction with teammates as it pierces all walls and can completely cut off retreat lines for enemy players
