Looks that way now, but I just don't like Discord. It seems like whenever we use it, both teams wind up in the same room.

Are there any clear "must have" abilities? I figure fast respawn and slow their respawn could be useful any others?

I would love to see one of the old stages return as a Salmon Run map. Saltspray Rig is probably the most thematically appropriate, but really any of them would be nice.

Edit: Actually, I'm at my limit for messing around with Discord's multiple layers of byzantine nonsense. Even the switch voice set up comes across as less complicated on paper.

I got to Profreshional and very rarely win all 3 rounds. We can usually clear round 2 but then we all get murdered on round 3. The overwhelming amount of boss salmons is brutal.

Profreshional is insane. I really wish they'd let you choose your own gun at that level.

Cool I was having fun with Salmon Run but now there's an arbitrary closed period. Really hope with the positive response this mode is getting they patch out the dumb time limited thing.

It would be nice, and in the meantime we should organize as much Salmon Run among those here.

I just assumed that Grizzco were 100% definitely actual bears, and they just can't show their faces because it would terrify every sea creature in town and mess up their scheme.

This is 100% true and the only alternate theory I'll accept is that a Salmonid has decided to sell out his fellow fishmans for the sake of capitalism.

Learn to use the melee weapons and you'll accomplish a lot.

A couple of games into Salmon Run, I realized that if I wanted to keep playing this mode and get good at it, I was going to have to master every weapon that it gives you that I'm not already good with. Because GrizzCo isn't always going to have chargers, and I'm not always going to get it when they do.

I've been at work watching Salmon Run streams, and a common thing I'm noticing is that people seem to ignore their specials.

The first thing you should do when you get off the boat is look at what your special weapons are. They are VITAL at mid to high level play. Splashdown and Bomb Rush are great for clearing those massive stage 3 mobs that form. Stingray is great at eliminating Stingers and it absolutely trivializes the Mothership. InkJet is a great rescue tool for when multiple members go down. Don't be afraid to use these when things get hairy.

You really do not want a Charger in Salmon Run. You can't crowd-control for poo poo, and even if you are tickling one of the bosses with it, it's only decent for bringing down the Steelheads and nothing else. And that's if you can get an angle on its bomb-launcher. Even the sniper bosses go down much faster with anything else because straight DPS just obliterates their stack of pots.

Haha, buddy you've never seen a Griller die so fast as when I have my preferred gun. Not to mention the rescue aspects, or making light of Stingers who try to camp in peninsulas, or busting up groups with well placed shots, or knocking those storm cloud missiles down from anywhere. I absolutely crush when I have a charger in Salmon Run.

Okay, let me put it this way; You might be great with the Splat Charger, but, can you say the same for the three players who are far more likely to have it? Especially when you've only got it, maybe, in one single wave?

No, and that makes me sad.

Adding you now, but we may have to take a raincheck since it's closed. I guess the app doesn't list local times.
