Where do I go to find other modes besides turf war? I hit level 4, so I can customize my clothes and guns, do I have to wait yet to open the other modes?


Level 10 for ranked mode. You need to get to B- in any ranked mode to unlock League. Don't know about Salmon Run, but it's open right now. You have to do a tutorial and start off in toddler ranks.

As a newbie to this game, at level 4 and confined to turf war, my one takeaway for other newbies is “INK YOUR GODDAMN SPAWN”. So many times my team tears off across the map, leaving our spawn point bare.

There needs to be a IYGDS emote in game

Don't ink your spawn at the beginning though. IMO the pro Turf War strat is to tear off to the middle, establish territory in the middle, maybe get a splat or two, and only worry about inking the turf near your spawn after you get splatted.

It's actually fine to leave the spawn bare at the start, because that uninked ground is free special charge when you die later. As long as you don't forget to ink it before the match ends, there's nothing wrong with charging ahead at the start.

I ink it immediately, because my specials are long-range and I benefit from using them quickly.

Yeah as others have said, it's only a problem if the spawn never gets inked. There was this rash of "ink your goddamn spawn" posts close to when the game launched, and then for awhile teams were meticulously inking their spawn right when the match started instead of pushing into contested territory. That is how you lose Turf War matches.

I ink the spawn when I die, to build up some special so I can get back in the fray.

Well, today I learned something. I guess I’ll ink after I die

i still ink the spawn meticulously because only the last 30 seconds of turf war matters and id rather be out contesting neutral during that part of the match than inking our spawn

I'm back to constant 2618-0502 and 2618-0516 errors. Has anyone else had that problem? Is it more likely during off-hours?

I've connected my switch to my router with a wired connection, set it as the DMZ host, and set up port forwarding, so I'm not sure what else I could do.

Just one more thing!
I'd be okay with that, Splatoon 2 is great as it is and I see no reason to fix what isn't broken (I mean of course there can be updates and balance changes, but you don't need to make a whole new game to do that).

"I should really learn to fucking read"
The DLC implies they'll keep using Splatoon 2 for more single player content. Down the road, it doesn't seem unreasonable for large multiplayer changes to be made while still maintaining the name "Splatoon 2."

Maybe if they wanted to do a very large single player game or spin off it'd be stand alone.

- the team has been adding weapons one by one because they want the same amount of attention for each weapon
- the team learned that when they added two new weapons at once, one would end up getting overshadowed by the other

Odd then that theyre walking this back in 3.0

- Grill is the ultimate form of this

- they would be one with the world if they were eaten by other creatures, and they also fight for the pride of their race

So, any good guides on how to git gud? I didn't see anything in the op

I just hit level 9, but I either had terrible luck with my teams or I just lost what I had; for the first while, I was doing great and was literally 1 win away from superfresh with a splattershot jr custom, but I just completely tanked and am almost at dry. It seems like I keep running into teams with great coordination that are right up on our spawn with backup stopping us from sneaking around behind, and my team basically never works together

That's something that you'll encounter from time to time: Sometimes your best is not enough to turn the game, because your team just sucks. If you find yourself in a downward spiral, it's best to step out a while and start again.

I’m actually the opposite. Splatoon is the only shooter that I’m pretty chill about losing. Getting steamrolled in Overwatch, COD or Gears just makes me quit playing.

Ranked drives me nuts, because its a team shooter with absoultely nothing resembling teamwork outside of "here!", so there are times where i suck and my team still wins matches where im great and my side still loses, meaning rank feels very little like a measurement of skill until you reach S rank where people are good enough to carry a team consistently.

splatfest also suck because goddamit, if I lose get far far less points so every loss feels like im extending the grind further and further. It causes a feedback loop the more the grind drags on from me losing, the more irritated I get and play worse, but since its a single day, its hard to find time to take a break and still have enough time to grind my rank up, especially if I have anything else to do that day.
