I've been enjoying Last-Ditch effort on my sunglasses. It gives you ink saver and ink recovery boosts for the last 30 seconds, which is awesome in Turf War and it triggers based on score in ranked. I didn't play much ranked in 1 and am only level 9 so far in 2, so I'm not entirely sure how it works. Opening Gambit gives you run and swim speed boosts in the first 30 seconds, but I'm not entirely sure that's as good as allowing for last-minute pushes.

So what do you have to do to get Murch to add slots to an item? His service to do so is locked every time I ask.

Well, I had unreasonably high expectations for this game and they still got blown away. 10/10 would splat again (and again and again) The only downside is I am monopolizing the TV to the point where my girlfriend will probably start to resent me soon, but then I can just switch to handheld and stay off the hook!

I managed to get the range blaster to superfresh. From the looks of the bar (seeing the size change up from 15 up to 22), it looks like there might be another rank up at like 50. I doubt anybody will ever find out though, unavoidable losses because of matchmaking failures and all.

Bill Barber posted:What does weapon freshness do again? Just a slight xp bonus at the end of a match? Once you build up to a certain freshness level you get a single 3000 XP boost. Incidentally it's the same for both levels, so if you want to switch weapons after the first one you won't really lose anything.

I guess it's good for balance to not have unique weapons locked behind a bunch of single player, but I wish the P90 wasn't just a reskin of the basic splattershot.

Charger is indeed the key. At B rank anyway. You could also get good with the bucket or dualies if you want to stay on the tower. Oh, and the squelcher with poison bombs works well too.

Jarogue posted:I think I get it now why people said the Splattershot Jr. was too legit to quit in the first game The best part is, the Splatty J was nerfed in this game compared to Splatoon 1 - Ink Armor isn't nearly as powerful as the Bubbler was. Ink Armor's pretty much a temporary suit of single player armor. The Bubbler was something like ten seconds of absolute invincibility. The J is still a real good gun, though, and I'm glad it remains a player-friendly gun in Turf War. Though Neph is right in that the Tentatek is also an incredible "can do most everything" gun (its main-sub-special setup is close to ideal), and it's cheap and available at level 3. ThisIsACoolGuy posted:
Most of those are good weapons (just seeing the Splash-o-matic makes me go  irl, as that gun was my jam later in S1's life) though the standard-rear end Charger is a little suspect and yes, a lot of randoms are like as not to be loving terrible with it and the Tri-Slosher, despite the fact that the Tri-Slosher should be a loving murdercannon in most Salmon modes.Tender Bender posted:I hear you, but the game's been out for literally three days. Nephzinho posted:Splat 1 bias. And some frustration from some vets losing Professional to helping out newer players. Feel like there will be a lot more "professional only" groups when Salmon Run isn't up 24 hours. Yeah, some of it might just be salt from me knowing the basics of a lot of these weapons already. Problem is, once you're out past Go-getter, your tryhard pants are kind of belted on by default, and losing 20%+ pay grade from a rank down just because some folks don't know the weapons is not a "good feel", as the fresh kids say these days. I still hold to the premise, though - learning, at least basically, what the weapons do and their rough performance envelopes will pay dividends almost immediately. You'll gain a lot of matchup knowledge off the bat. Neddy Seagoon posted:Anyone know what the .52 Gal Deco's got in its weapon set yet? I miss my Seekers and Inkstrike The Deco is fuckin' gone, at least for now. Rip the bling and inkstrikes. (I wouldn't be surprised to see the blingcannon return in a patch, though - lord knows we're getting a lot of them over a year.)

The Brella is probably coming in the next week or two - given how heavily it was advertised and the fact that it's in the SP already, it's probably done and they're just sitting on it to make it a hype update and keep the attention going. They did similar things early in S1, too.

Will you be on tomorrow afternoon for Salmon Run? Want to get a profeshional group together tomorrow so we don't do the nonsense where a single gently caress up turns us into a revolving door of catching someone up from Overachiever while noone gets any buffer on their points into Profresh.

Man I wish the splatling gun had ink armor for its special, I love it when a teammate pops it and saves my rear end and by default whatever area I'm locking down. When you use ink armor, you don't always know the good you're doing, but it's a great help for your team.

Here I thought after 3 years of Splatoon we'd finally be free of the "walks around shooting directly down at their feet" Turf War players, but here I am getting them on my team again  Also I'm actually warming up to the Splatling now. The range certainly helps with the current problem of Aerosprays being everywhere.
