Every game where at least one other teammate is aggressive with me we end up doing really well. I love when this game clicks and you end up with randos who think the same way.

How do you gain points in the salmon run/how do I get lots of points quickly? Do the orange power points do anything beside litter the screen?

The best ink is orange in Salmon Run because then it looks like you part of some 90's fish based Nickelodeon hellscape with the orange and green ink fighting each other

The lime green boys are strong, this pleases me.

EDIT: I'll concede orange is strong for Salmon Run.

What's your favorite map and why is it moray towers

Also, I looked it up and they nerfed stealth jump so now it still shows you as jumping in within a certain proximity, so that's lame

Are you supposed to roll over people or get in the middle of a group of enemies and detonate with the Baller special?

Also how do you use the Point Sensor properly?

I want to use the .52 gal but I can't figure out how to use its kit properly

I'm so fuckin bad at single player you guys. Especially the ones with the Octolings. Their accuracy is scary.

Best ink colour is orange, worst ink combo in games is darkish blue/pink because I'm just colourblind enough that I can't tell them apart at a glance

Consider Octolings practice for aiming in multiplayer.

The first stage they show up in is practically a multiplayer stage.

There's an option in the settings to lock the current colors in, if you have to.

So do all Salmon Run players get these same bonuses/points/whatever, regardless of performance?

I guess I don't really understand the point of this mode other than to have fun. It looks like I can unlock some new gear but that will take forever

You get some bonuses from it, but yes, the point is just to have fun. It's just an alternate game mode.

Well yes, generally the point of playing a game is to have fun :regd09:

But unlocking the bonuses isn't that hard. It looks bad at the start but as you reach higher ranks you get way more points. So if you're actually good at it you can unlock stuff pretty quickly. I played for aboutt an hour and a half this morning and almost filled out my entire rewards card.

Okay, that's what I was looking for. It just seemed like it was a LOOOONG grind to get some near gear.

they're cool, protip: adjust joystick sensitivity way up and motion sensitivity down so you use the joystick for fast movement and the motion for precise stuff

Yes. It's what sets the game apart for me. There's no auto aim without them like most other console shooters so the game feels sluggish without them.

Rollers don't need them though.

I like how you set separate sensitivities for handheld vs docked, so I can aim without tilting the screen out of my view :v:
