God I love this set. Went from Go-Getter to Profeshional pretty quickly, and I’ve never gone above GG before.

Salmon Run is broken as gently caress and I love it. Never stopping.

"Hi Everybody!"
I'd be enjoying this a lot more if the game would stop giving me the loving GrizzCo Charger :nallears:.

Nevermind my general dislike of getting saddled with one in Salmon Run, it's utterly boring compared to all the other GrizzCo weapons.

I'm really enjoying the Splattershot Jr. buff, that big goofy backpack brings me such joy

Exploration is ill-advised.
So the larger drink bottle style ink tanks are meant to indicate a weapon has a superior ink capacity, right?

Exactly, the new patch gave Splattershot Jrs 10% more ink capacity than normal.

Can confirm as of today I am 1 for 1 on Hazard Level MAX.

I was wholly not ready but the team and the ridiculous loadout were big helps.

The Grizzco Slosher has a number of just-so characteristics that make it incredible.

One shot directly at the cockpit of a Flyfish kills it instantly.

Because of its divebombing trajectory, one shot from the right distance at the head of a Stinger will kill it instantly. Because it moves so slowly, an imperfectly aimed shot will still deal helladamage.

A bunch of hits at center mass will kill Scrappers, Steelheads and Drizzlers.

A volley fired directly at an oncoming Steel Eel will pass through its body and kill it. (Careful with this one though.)

More generally, a single fired shot will basically kill any lesser salmonid it hits and give you a brilliant cover to swim under.

Because it passes through everything (if not murdering it wholesale), it's also excellent for reviving comrades who are otherwise hopelessly surrounded.

It rules incredibly.

Is it just me or is Salmon Runs matchmaking totally broken, I'm up in Professional 700 and it's still putting me in games with quotas like 14/16/18. Haven't seen Hazard Level MAX once yet during this shift.

New undercover brella changes and all grizzco weapons are great, but let me tell you going from one to the other is a bit of a shock.

And 4 grizzco chargers is still 4 chargers

There are players out there so bad they fail miserably even when given all the best weapons. Somehow I keep getting those people on my teams.

I think his point was that he wants Nintendo to make it so people him him couldn’t do that in the first place. It’s nice that they’re pretty quick about bans though.

From someone who's only been playing since, like, a month before the Octo Expansion dropped, this change is godlike.

Now if only you could see 1. if you already own a piece of gear before ordering it through Murch and 2. see what the standard primary ability of SplatNet gear is before ordering it. Sometimes I'll see someone wearing shoes or whatever with a cool primary, but I'll forget if I have it too and when I pop into the equipment to check and pop back out, they're gone from the Square!

https://splatoon2.ink will tell you what's currently on offer at SplatNet in addition to what the standard ability of the gear is. Doesn't help a substantial amount if you're just on your phone, but still way better than nothing. In addition, it will also tell you what the common brand ability for all the stuff on sale is, which is useful if you care about that sort of thing.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
I would say the only bad part about this patch is the Dualie Squelchers nerf. Plenty of other stuff deserved nerfing before it, but whatever. Plenty of other good changes, though.

BattleMaster posted:

Custom Splattershot Jr. had an absolutely horrendous kit before the autobomb changes and the ink tank buff, and the regular Splattershot Jr. was basically considered to be a lovely N-ZAP '85. Dunno if the buff will really make those weapons great, but they did need one.

It was due to the great advice to use the brush. Made it manageable. Also helped that I painted the column with the splat bomb rush on top before the enemies jumped over so I grabbed it during a reprieve and managed to splat all the remaining ones when they attacked.
