You literally can't kill Steelheads with the Sploosh and it's both infuriating and embarrassing

Does the rhythm game net you anything for getting a perfect score on all songs or anything like that? Or is it just a silly little side thing

So how far does the Profreshional meter go? I broke passed 99 into 115.

I hit 240/260 one night I was just playing like a mad man.

How do I not Sploosh like an idiot? I haven't bought it yet and haven't Run Salmon yet today, either.

One other pro tip I learned from this thread for mothership round is that if you have the Stingray super, use it on the ship as it's coming towards your egg baskets. When you damage the ship while it's flying towards you, it'll drop gold eggs.

Try to also memorize where a good group of chinooks spawn close to the basket are and dedicate yourself to staying in that area popping them for eggs. Spam 'this way' and hopefully your teammates will notice the giant pile of eggs you're piling up. I find most mothership waves fail because people are spending way too much time chasing down chinooks only for them to fly away at the last second.

Not murder every no boss salmonids especially during grillers. That thing shreds through everything easily it just doesn't have any range so it's I'll suited for a lot of bosses.

Chargers are great on salmon run and I don't ever use chargers anywhere else.

Rescues, escape routes, one shotting steel heads and those umbrella fuckers

Since they're excellent at taking out almost every boss salmonid in one or two shots, yeah, there probably is

SeANMcBAY: Jun 28, 2006; Look on the bright side.

Chargers also work well as long range medics but I understand the hate for them since they're hard to use. I certainly suck with them.

I can't think of a single situation where a charger is better than a splatling in salmon run. They're not much better at killing bosses than most weapons (oftentimes worse, on later waves when having the time + space to charge a shot is hard), and they are absolutely terrible at handling the hordes of regular salmon. Not to mention any weapon can do long range revivals better by throwing a grenade.

Now, the .92 Gal - there's a great bosskiller. Good range, can easily take out any boss in one cycle, and it cuts through the chum fast.

Chargers are great against Steelhead, Steel Eel, and Drizzler, what are you talking about. The only instance when a charger is useless is when you're stuck with the loving goo tuber.

Aim lower than you want to actually hit things. The Sploosh is a little weird like that.

I keep getting the most worthless randos who can't act like a team or help each other. Like a bunch of idiots they ignored the small frys in a griller session and we got overwhelmed.

Anyway I'm competent enough with the charger that I can hold my own through the rounds where I get it, but goddamn seeing idiots try to get up close to Salmon with it and fail miserably makes my blood boil. I really need to get on with goons so I can make it up to Profreshional.

You could also make it to Profresional by just playing well. I've made it to Profreshional 300 with randoms.

Also a friendly reminder that the Stingray can take out a Flyfish if you shoot the middle part. If you're the guy on your team with the Stingray make sure to find a safe corner before you activate it.

I feel like in general people don't use their specials enough or try to save them until it's too late.

I know I always forget that I can use specials until my team gets wiped.

Or I'll activate them accidentally while turning the right stick.

Thanks. I figured out pretty quickly what the Sploosh was for: mowing down the anklebiters. I made that my JOB. I could also pop the Steelheads if I got a bit of high ground.

Honestly with this weapon set steelheads should be the least of your concerns because 3 of the weapons can kill them really easily. The only one that sucks against them is the sploosh, but even then if you have height advantage you can shred them easily.

I need help figuring out what I should make my loadout any assistance would be appreciated. I have a perfect piece of Head Gear Ink Saver Main with 3 Ink Refill abilities. I don't know what I should go for with my other two pieces of clothing. I prefer shooter type weapons. I've tested Swim Speed and it is not worth running based off the data I've seen. Should I go for Movement Speed and Ink resist?
