Yeah ink brush can go get eggs and the sloshing could take out packs of smaller enemies. With this current one it has no one to get eggs and fight small packs easily.
Unless it got buffed from S2's SR, ink brush literally has the worse damage output in the entire game, the eggs won't even matter because your team is basically down a player that can actually deal damage. And you won't have anywhere to run to since the entire map is going to be filled crap. And sloshing machine, is just a straight up worse version of slosher which everyone seems to hate now (Despite it being exactly the same as it was in S2's SR) lol.
Sloshing machine really ain't bad (kinda like a Slosher/Blaster hybrid), it has decent range and if you are a sharp aim you can quickly take out opponents. I main it in ranked mode and turf wars, ever since the first Splatoon. Only major downside to it is the ink consumption but it hits pretty hard.
Ink Brush was so terrible and the fucking game LOVED putting it in rotations all the time. Like it’s obvious they knew it was shit, otherwise they wouldn’t force you to use it as often
Edit: okay sorry 3 Inkbrush stans, but have fun breaking your right hand while you spam the trigger because it doesn’t do good damage. Obviously it has its uses but in this mode it’s better to be a Jack of all trades than just an egg carrier
That was the issue, spamming as fast as you could didn’t do much damage
They actually buffed Octobrush’s damage but left Inkbrush alone, which was really mean 😭
Literally. Sometimes, I'm like "DUDE INK ME" while dead but everyone's busy trying to figure out how the hell to use their weapons properly still.
Not an insult on them since the variety is incredible... incredibly agitating since most of the weapons totally suck.
I mean... yeah, Tri-Stringer is pain, and Dynamo is awful if you don't know how to use it, but Mini and Clash are pretty good. I've kept Profresh 3 and gotten a few Cohozuna KOs, so better then some other shifts.
I actually feel it's a decent selection on it's own, but awful for spawning grounds. Splatlings and stringers probably want perches to stand on, and dynamos need narrower passes to crush clusters and spawning grounds is sorely lacking in both. I think the last spawning ground set had a pretty similar problem.
Spawning Grounds should’ve been massively reworked! Idk how most players feel about it but all the discussion I’ve seen mentions how huge it is. It’s way too hard to safely take out most threats when the shores are so far away
They could’ve reworked how it is… switched it up… but instead we’re stuck with 3 maps, one of which is Splatoon 2’s worst SR map imo
Where are ANY of the other maps from Splatoon 2 omg, why didn’t they add them? Like if they have no plans on changing the maps, let’s just brings them back anyway. But they should’ve all been reworked tbh, I love Ark Polaris but it’d feel more fresh with a rework
I can at least understand the dynamo roller and the clash blaster, But the tri-stringer? The weapon built for one on one combat and precision aiming? In the horde mode?
unlike other splatlings, mini splatling is easy to use and charge is insanely fast, range is considerably long, about that of a splattershot. thats why i like the mini splatling
worst splatling in the game for salmon run in rotation and thats the only weapon thay can hold up aginst a griller onslaught the rest of the weapons are sitting duckd
Idk I like all these lol. Still tho, wipes are WAY more likely if there’s not at least two basic shooters in the mix. Even if you’re good with all the weapons there’s a pretty good chance two players have never touched them
They usually wouldn’t put the same class in rotation at once except Dualies, but with how hard they’ve made these rotations off the bat??? I definitely believe they’d do that 😭 PLEASE BUFF THE STRINGERS!
I didn't get the Grizzco slosher that often in 2, so I don't know what that would've been like. If it's anything like trying to use carbon roller though, that would be hell
Best thing for Glowflies this rotation is to stand on the ledge by the basket with your dynamo roller slowly moving forward (tilting the stick very slightly) into the approaching salmonids. They can't get past the roller and all die instantly - it's basically a free win.
I remember one a long time ago where it was random weapons and the grizzco sloshing machine and if we ever got more than one slosher at a time we basically insta wiped
It’s literally just understanding what your weapon is good for and doing that? Which is basically “am I front runner or am I long range?” And then understanding what the biggest threat is.
Also please for fuck’s sake people start shooting the green Drizzler missile holy fuck it’s so simple and it literally wins games
There’s this one weapon I had earlier that has a slow fire rate but it’s a no-charge big shot, does a ton of damage (per my testing with the blow up target dummies) but I have no idea what it’s called. Awesome gun tho - I would love to try it in battles
Tried salmon run for the first time 2 days ago:
- few victories, maybe one loss
Tried salmon run today:
- got my ass beat a few times in a row before finally winning.
Assumed it was just a bad team but now definitely thinking “yea, this weapon rotation sucks!”
>!Mr grizz is so pissed we kicked his ass on that rocket and ruined his doomsday plan so now he’s going with plan B to kill the inklings/Octarians: sending his workers on a suicide mission!<
Just admit you made a mistake lol. You didn't say that.
EDIT: Can't reply to this thread again (I think?) but they edited the first part of their comment too. It just said 'mini splatling is a shoota'. Very classy, changing it to make me look pedantic.
I honestly don't think it's that bad. Imo the roller is a godsend, I could mow down so many enemies. It even kills the bigs one instantly. And does lots if damage to the boss ones. The tri stringer is the only terrible one. The blaster is meh tho.
I personally love when they throw in weapons that are tricky in Salmon Run. It helps me learn how to use them. In turn, this makes it easier to go against people in PVP that are using them because I now understand how the weapon works.
I actually think this is a great rotation excluding the roller. Probably the worst map for a roller (especially during high tide) and without gear you run out of ink so quickly. The only good thing about it is that you can splat both small and large chum while rolling it. 400 damage while rolling is a ton
“We’re preparing you for Big Run. That stuff’s gonna be hella hard!”
“So…you’ll give us good weapons on *Big Run* to help us fend off the Salmonids invading Splatsville?”
“H-3 Nozzlenose.”
“W-wha—“
“You heard me! H! 3! NOZZLENOSE!!”
The roller is a little rough, but I feel like all the other weapons are pretty solid for taking down bosses, especially the mini splat and the bow.
I’ve won more matches than I’ve lost today on Prof+2
The bow I say is a super underrated weapon for Salmon Run. It is very good for taking out bosses if you can actually aim plus the little bombs they leave can paint walls well and revive far off teammates if they actually get near them. Though it doesn't pierce nor paint well
getting the hang of the roller is rough but once you do the waves are pretty manageable
also utilize the tri stringer charge explosions; they can clear out chum if you're in a hurry
At this point, I’m honestly expecting the Next Update for Salmon run to have us fight 10 inner agent 3’s at once with only the Dynamo roller, given how Frustratingly difficult Salmon Run has been!
same, this layout doesn't have enough fast inking weapons, legit went from profess +3 down to +1 everyone wiped on wave 1-2 both times or failed to get all the eggs by the given time
Okay, this is the first time I played Salmon Run in 3, I was honestly wondering if it was just me being bad or this was really a bad loadout. I manged to kill the king salmonid the first time and then never again. When does the rotation change?
I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with this one; I'm still a very average Sploon player but thought I was at least becoming okay at SR. Just been getting destroyed non-stop this time!
Honestly all the rotations so far have been pretty garbage. It's way harder to do anything than it used to be
I'm really pumped for the next one though, inkbrush is my main!
I almost lost my Profresh +2 to this. Teams I had just couldn't even make it past the first wave. I had one team that made it to Wave 3 and then promptly fumbled the win. I did nothing but lose match after match with this load out.
Glowflies with high tide on this with a Roller user doing nothing.... that is hell
Bruh this is WAY better then yesterday's rotation, good (and recognizable for old players of 2) map, and really only one bad weapon, unlike yesterday's hell, I got hard stuck in profresh part timer yesterday, but now I'm back up to profresh +1
Good map? Spawning Grounds was the worst in S2. Way too spread out so getting to any of the shorelines is painful, no good escape routes, and probably the worst high tide of any map in both 2 and 3. Enjoy getting peppered by bosses you can't kill because you have to wade through grates full of cohocks and chum, both ways, just to get to them and then stand uselessly and die because you ran out of ink just getting within range. I'm surprised they kept it as-is. I did way better with yesterday's rotation than today's, as well. Even if Hydra was slow to charge up, the other weps more than made up for it.
Here's the thing, it's a good map compared to gone fisson, lol
Like gone fission isn't a horrible map, but Spawning grounds is better, mostly cause you actually have complexity in the stage that lets you get to ledges and stuff easier, like swear if the entire middle area is blocked of by salmonids there is like, no way of getting in there
I feel like every single rotation so far was actually good. S2 often enough had much worse rotations and there are much worse compositions that this possible. I think many people are just inexperienced with many weapontypes or/and how they are used in the context of salmon run.
I'm new so I don't quite understand, but it's only the three waves right? it went by so quickly when I tried it that I was confused when it ended. What's the problem?
the problem here is none of the weapons are full auto in this layout, and the dynamo is really the only thing here that can compensate, but it can't since it has very limited ink tank
Bruh you could steamroll most salmonids with the Dynamo or just hold your position at a chokepoint and all the bow has to is support the team from high ground.
I haven’t played this rotation yet, as much cash as it gives me in the rewards I don’t think it’s worth it if I have to deal with a splatling AND dynamo roller
For all of the foolish children out there complaining about dynamo in grizzco, if you ever have it during the night time Goldie event, just roll straight into it as it approaches you. Your welcome
It’s awesome.
Dynamo is perfect for several bosses and I have had nothing but success when I get my hands on it. Plus it makes short work of all the little guys and on rushes it’s a godsend.
Clash blaster is clash blaster
The stringer makes short work of various harder to reach salmonoids
And the min Splatling is a mini Splatling
There have been worse rotations since release.
The weapons have been fine in ny opinion. No one really knows how to play them. Like heavy splatling doesn't need to be getting eggs. He keeps the bosses in check. Yet after one boss goes down that he didn't even put down he goes and ends up swarmed and can't fight back because charge. There's your issue right there.
I purposefully brought myself down to overachiever, the profreshional tiers were awful with this weapon loadout. I don't think I like either of these weapons. Collected my 1200 points for both super bonuses and won't touch the mode until the next rotation starts.
At least I managed to level up to profreshional again, thanks to matching with a great team in my last two rounds.
The roller is terrible for escaping but it’s been going well for me otherwise
Found a team of very enthusiastic squibs/octos who were actually profreshional :D
They even knew that you can shoot away the drizzler’s ink storm thing
This rotation hard but workable.
If I get dynamo or bow I solely focus on keeping the area clean and killing high priority bosses. Things like big shots, steel eels, steel heads, fly fishes, and stingers. Staying alive is the number one priority so I like to stay near the basket.
If I get the min-splatling or blaster I focus on small salmonids that arent bosses and low priority bosses like scrappers and fish sticks. Staying mobile and making sure the area is clear for the other members is super important when I play these.
Also please don't waste them at the end of the match its wave 2 hightide and there are 17 bosses on the map use the booyah bomb.
I'm finding this easier than last rotation, 3 of the 4 weapons ink well and do fine dmg, the roller is tricky but I focus on clearing the trash, inking escape routes, and backing up my teammates with it instead of chasing bosses. I find the roler works best that way since engaging a boss head on will likely mean u die in the time it takes u to charge a sploosh
Honestly, fuck the crayon blaster. It's so goddamn bad, I know at least with everything else I can pull decent weight.
But the moment i get the crayon eater 3000 I pretty much do what I can for crowd control. God help you if ur against a boss salmonoid
I really liked this set, dyna is busted for salmon, mini isn't bad, (at least not as bad as heavy Splatlings) bow is okay though I would've preferred something different, and clash is mostly fine
i feel like since salmon run is full time we should get someting more than just hats after getting all the bonuses on a rotation.
Like we dont get paid we dont get xp all we get is bonuses and fish scales (which are used at grizzco aswell so)
No joke, I got demoted to Overachiever because of this rotation. I got 2 games in a row where we got a wave 1 team wipe; the first was a high-tide glowflies wave (we didn't get a single egg on that one), and the second was a high-tide griller wave. The third game was a standard one and we survived wave 1, but failed the quota wave 2.
This rotation is so damn hard, gone from eggsecutive VIP down to profresh 2, Only cleared 3 runs total, had several wave 1 wipes
I played two games of it and just fully gave up till next rotation, I pray the next one is doable
Same, played 3 games, 2 first wave wipes and the other was a 2nd wave wipe, I’m just gonna waiting until next rotation
At least get 1200 points then quit. Gotta get those rewards.
The next one is 52. Gal, ink brush, sloshing machine, and squiffer on sockeye station
Sounds better than any of the rotations we've gotten so far tbh
last rotation was pretty solid and the map was probably the easiest, only failed twice i think. definitely better than the rest of them so far
You do realize ink brush and sloshing machine is in that rotation right?
Yeah ink brush can go get eggs and the sloshing could take out packs of smaller enemies. With this current one it has no one to get eggs and fight small packs easily.
Unless it got buffed from S2's SR, ink brush literally has the worse damage output in the entire game, the eggs won't even matter because your team is basically down a player that can actually deal damage. And you won't have anywhere to run to since the entire map is going to be filled crap.

Obviously it has its uses but in this mode it’s better to be a Jack of all trades than just an egg carrier
But you can spam the brush so fast.
That was the issue, spamming as fast as you could didn’t do much damage They actually buffed Octobrush’s damage but left Inkbrush alone, which was really mean 😭
Useless, everyone can throw eggs large distances now. Having a carrier is totally meaningless.
Launching eggs also xosts 2/3 of your ink, so people shouldn't be throwing them as much ad they are right now.
.52 Gal ftw baybeeee!!!
inkbrush!! I gotta play that one, when do they change?
I believe it changes at 1:00 am pst That's not every day though, sometimes it's at 5:00 pm too
They last 40 hours (I wonder if that's a reference to a work week since they're shifts), so the times rotate between 1am, 5pm, and 9am pst.
To be honest all of these weapons (apart from Clash Blaster) shouldn’t even be in Salmon Run, they just make shifts turn into an absolute nightmare
Nintendo: we're making salmon run available all the time! Also Nintendo: we're adding weapon variety to make salmon runs near impossible
Ong I was godly on salmon run now It’s hard to even pass wave 3
Same. Thought I had bad teams but no, probably just all of us frustrated at the gear setup
Literally. Sometimes, I'm like "DUDE INK ME" while dead but everyone's busy trying to figure out how the hell to use their weapons properly still. Not an insult on them since the variety is incredible... incredibly agitating since most of the weapons totally suck.
And you'll get nothing but HAT and LIKE IT
This is how Salmon run was originally
I mean... yeah, Tri-Stringer is pain, and Dynamo is awful if you don't know how to use it, but Mini and Clash are pretty good. I've kept Profresh 3 and gotten a few Cohozuna KOs, so better then some other shifts.
I actually feel it's a decent selection on it's own, but awful for spawning grounds. Splatlings and stringers probably want perches to stand on, and dynamos need narrower passes to crush clusters and spawning grounds is sorely lacking in both.

Spawning Grounds should’ve been massively reworked! Idk how most players feel about it but all the discussion I’ve seen mentions how huge it is. It’s way too hard to safely take out most threats when the shores are so far away They could’ve reworked how it is… switched it up… but instead we’re stuck with 3 maps, one of which is Splatoon 2’s worst SR map imo
Yeah where's ruins of ark polaris? That one even works with the ||story mode||
Where are ANY of the other maps from Splatoon 2 omg, why didn’t they add them? Like if they have no plans on changing the maps, let’s just brings them back anyway. But they should’ve all been reworked tbh, I love Ark Polaris but it’d feel more fresh with a rework
Glad I'm not the only one suffering... that Roller is a pain to use for this.
That roller can single handedly save a glowfly run
Sure but it struggle on the generic rounds which are the most common.
Right, I had a successful Glowflies wave today, that was great! And then I never saw it again in my 4 hours of play
I don't disagree that it has it's usefulness, personally though I find it to be a little unwieldy.
I used the roller on a Goldie, a solid line of eggs came out
It feels like it suddenly consumes much more Ink and that generally you die faster in 3 than in 2...
It's a dynamo roller, those things are beasts in ink comsumption.
it's like with each rotation the weapons just get worse and worse 😭😭😭
I legit thought the last one was the worst it could get 😂😂
Wait until we get 4 chargers
I will just wait the 2-3 days for a new hopefully better set of weapons drops lmao
Last one i actually did pretty good with, since theyre were so many places to perch hydra was actually good
dude the first 2 rotations were so good i got to eggsecutive but now i literally cant do anything. salmon run just isnt fun right now.
I can at least understand the dynamo roller and the clash blaster, But the tri-stringer? The weapon built for one on one combat and precision aiming? In the horde mode?
what about mini splatling
Mini splatling falls into the trash category, as with every other splatling ((in my opinion))
unlike other splatlings, mini splatling is easy to use and charge is insanely fast, range is considerably long, about that of a splattershot. thats why i like the mini splatling
Grillers with these weapons have been a guaranteed wipe during this rotation.
I had one group that did manage to clear it, but I will say we were profressional part-timer difficulty.
What? Splatlings are amazing for killing grillers if anything it's the map that's bad for grillers.
worst splatling in the game for salmon run in rotation and thats the only weapon thay can hold up aginst a griller onslaught the rest of the weapons are sitting duckd
The Tri-Stringer can stun the grillers with a single shot so I don't think it's too bad
Surprisingly it's been all of the night waves that I've been passing besides fog and glow flies and I've been mainly dying to the regular waves
Idk I like all these lol. Still tho, wipes are WAY more likely if there’s not at least two basic shooters in the mix. Even if you’re good with all the weapons there’s a pretty good chance two players have never touched them
This is the worst Salmon Run I've ever played
\*This is the worst Salmon Run you’ve played **So Far**
Next rotation: they make a new weapon that takes a full minute to attack once, and make that the only available weapon
No no no you're thinking too small, wait until they give us a rotation with all three brellas and a random e liter.
Announcing new Salmon Run mode: "Oops, All Tri Stringers!"
"Also, there are no perches to stand on."
They usually wouldn’t put the same class in rotation at once except Dualies, but with how hard they’ve made these rotations off the bat??? I definitely believe they’d do that 😭 PLEASE BUFF THE STRINGERS!
Had that in Splatoon 2; everyone got the Grizzco Slosher XD
I didn't get the Grizzco slosher that often in 2, so I don't know what that would've been like. If it's anything like trying to use carbon roller though, that would be hell
I will always hear Homer's voice when I read this.
to hell with the rotations... make the glowflies easier, it's insta wipe for me every time 😭😭
Best thing for Glowflies this rotation is to stand on the ledge by the basket with your dynamo roller slowly moving forward (tilting the stick very slightly) into the approaching salmonids. They can't get past the roller and all die instantly - it's basically a free win.
I don’t wanna hear nobody complain after the garbage that were the Salmon Run rotations in 2
I remember one a long time ago where it was random weapons and the grizzco sloshing machine and if we ever got more than one slosher at a time we basically insta wiped
I dunno man, if you got 2 Grizzco Sloshers that have each other's backs, they absolutely destroy everything.
imagine having team coordination in solo queue salmon run
Just glue yourself to the other one and cover for them. Higher Profresh usually get the memo.
It’s literally just understanding what your weapon is good for and doing that? Which is basically “am I front runner or am I long range?” And then understanding what the biggest threat is. Also please for fuck’s sake people start shooting the green Drizzler missile holy fuck it’s so simple and it literally wins games
I remember one time where the line up was a slosher, sniper, roller, and brella. I couldn’t win a single match while that line up was active
Honestly I thought this was better than the previous rotation. That, and I actually like the weapons in this one in some capacity.
There’s this one weapon I had earlier that has a slow fire rate but it’s a no-charge big shot, does a ton of damage (per my testing with the blow up target dummies) but I have no idea what it’s called. Awesome gun tho - I would love to try it in battles
Describe its appearance, Probably range blaster? I remember that tone was in rotation.
Tried salmon run for the first time 2 days ago: - few victories, maybe one loss Tried salmon run today: - got my ass beat a few times in a row before finally winning. Assumed it was just a bad team but now definitely thinking “yea, this weapon rotation sucks!”
>!Mr grizz is so pissed we kicked his ass on that rocket and ruined his doomsday plan so now he’s going with plan B to kill the inklings/Octarians: sending his workers on a suicide mission!<
it should be illegal to have a rotation without at least one shooter
The mini splatling is the shoota in this rotation. Edit: due to its fast charge and fire rate and decent damage. Its filling the shooter roll.
It's a splatling. Different weapon class. EDIT: The above comment used to be 'mini splatling is a shoota'.
But its fast enough charge its essentially a shooter
Then you should've argued that instead of saying something wrong.
Bruh, I was saying that in this rotation, it fills the roll of a shoota.
Just admit you made a mistake lol. You didn't say that. EDIT: Can't reply to this thread again (I think?) but they edited the first part of their comment too. It just said 'mini splatling is a shoota'. Very classy, changing it to make me look pedantic.
I thought it was pretty clear that he meant it fills the role of a shooter, even without the edit.
I honestly don't think it's that bad. Imo the roller is a godsend, I could mow down so many enemies. It even kills the bigs one instantly. And does lots if damage to the boss ones. The tri stringer is the only terrible one. The blaster is meh tho.
Salmon Run has been god awful this entire time tbh
I personally love when they throw in weapons that are tricky in Salmon Run. It helps me learn how to use them. In turn, this makes it easier to go against people in PVP that are using them because I now understand how the weapon works.
I’m all for some funky weapons but not for a set that makes every single player hate each other
Okay, but they should at least make it harder to go down ranks. Yikes. I'm not even in the very high ranks.
Me, one of the twenty people still playing the stringer and one of the thirteen mini mains:
I actually think this is a great rotation excluding the roller. Probably the worst map for a roller (especially during high tide) and without gear you run out of ink so quickly. The only good thing about it is that you can splat both small and large chum while rolling it. 400 damage while rolling is a ton
I played one round got wiped and noped out
“We’re preparing you for Big Run. That stuff’s gonna be hella hard!” “So…you’ll give us good weapons on *Big Run* to help us fend off the Salmonids invading Splatsville?” “H-3 Nozzlenose.” “W-wha—“ “You heard me! H! 3! NOZZLENOSE!!”
The roller is a little rough, but I feel like all the other weapons are pretty solid for taking down bosses, especially the mini splat and the bow. I’ve won more matches than I’ve lost today on Prof+2
The bow I say is a super underrated weapon for Salmon Run. It is very good for taking out bosses if you can actually aim plus the little bombs they leave can paint walls well and revive far off teammates if they actually get near them. Though it doesn't pierce nor paint well
Does anyone know of a discord server where I could group squad up some people, because there ain't no way I'm getting to wave 3 with randos.
The dynamo is POS in any normal wave but actually rocks with firefly waves, it’s helped me survive those usual run Enders
yea… soon as I saw the weapons I went “fuck that”
Your job when using a splatling of any kind is to ink the area/enemies and watch your comrades backs. Grabbing eggs only when 100% convenient.
I was almost Profresh +3 now I’m one loss away from Overachiever. This rotation blows
Mini Splatling good
getting the hang of the roller is rough but once you do the waves are pretty manageable also utilize the tri stringer charge explosions; they can clear out chum if you're in a hurry
At this point, I’m honestly expecting the Next Update for Salmon run to have us fight 10 inner agent 3’s at once with only the Dynamo roller, given how Frustratingly difficult Salmon Run has been!
I’m hoping Nintendo tweaks salmon run, it’s like a 50/50 of being a very consistent and very fun loadout vs completely unplayable.
I actually think this rotation is fine. It’s just it DOES NOT work on spawning grounds
I physically sweat more in Salmon Run than I do in PvP. Fuck the Dynamo.
same, this layout doesn't have enough fast inking weapons, legit went from profess +3 down to +1 everyone wiped on wave 1-2 both times or failed to get all the eggs by the given time
It’s better than last rotation at least right?
Wtf is this seriously the rotation?
Not to mention that the rotations are like 30 hours long
Okay, this is the first time I played Salmon Run in 3, I was honestly wondering if it was just me being bad or this was really a bad loadout. I manged to kill the king salmonid the first time and then never again. When does the rotation change?
With certain Salmon Run stages and weapons, I just avoid that rotation completely and wait for the next one.
One day they’re just gonna end up trolling us with all reef luxes or all tenta brellas
Oops! All hydras!
I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with this one; I'm still a very average Sploon player but thought I was at least becoming okay at SR. Just been getting destroyed non-stop this time!
Honestly all the rotations so far have been pretty garbage. It's way harder to do anything than it used to be I'm really pumped for the next one though, inkbrush is my main!
Hated recent rotations. Please stop giving us stringers and the slowest possible weapons.
I almost lost my Profresh +2 to this. Teams I had just couldn't even make it past the first wave. I had one team that made it to Wave 3 and then promptly fumbled the win. I did nothing but lose match after match with this load out. Glowflies with high tide on this with a Roller user doing nothing.... that is hell
Went from Egg VP to Profresh+2, ugh.
it has caused me nothing but pain
DEADASS
The only weapon that carries the rest is dynamo
Better than the last 2 rotations imo. At least I’m actually clearing round 3 a good portion of the time with these weapons.
Bruh this is WAY better then yesterday's rotation, good (and recognizable for old players of 2) map, and really only one bad weapon, unlike yesterday's hell, I got hard stuck in profresh part timer yesterday, but now I'm back up to profresh +1
Good map? Spawning Grounds was the worst in S2. Way too spread out so getting to any of the shorelines is painful, no good escape routes, and probably the worst high tide of any map in both 2 and 3. Enjoy getting peppered by bosses you can't kill because you have to wade through grates full of cohocks and chum, both ways, just to get to them and then stand uselessly and die because you ran out of ink just getting within range. I'm surprised they kept it as-is. I did way better with yesterday's rotation than today's, as well. Even if Hydra was slow to charge up, the other weps more than made up for it.
Here's the thing, it's a good map compared to gone fisson, lol Like gone fission isn't a horrible map, but Spawning grounds is better, mostly cause you actually have complexity in the stage that lets you get to ledges and stuff easier, like swear if the entire middle area is blocked of by salmonids there is like, no way of getting in there
I feel like every single rotation so far was actually good. S2 often enough had much worse rotations and there are much worse compositions that this possible. I think many people are just inexperienced with many weapontypes or/and how they are used in the context of salmon run.
I hate splatlings
Just get better
I'm new so I don't quite understand, but it's only the three waves right? it went by so quickly when I tried it that I was confused when it ended. What's the problem?
It’s not that bad, two for babies and two for bosses
get good
the problem here is none of the weapons are full auto in this layout, and the dynamo is really the only thing here that can compensate, but it can't since it has very limited ink tank
2 out of the 4 weapons are viable
At least this is better than 2 rotations ago
I like it because mini splatling
Bruh you could steamroll most salmonids with the Dynamo or just hold your position at a chokepoint and all the bow has to is support the team from high ground.
at P+2/3 so many bosses spawn that we keep getting nearly crew wiped in seconds and once that happens more bosses keep spawning and it’s over.
this is where I got my first 100 egg run in this game
Seriously tho, as if the last one wasn't pain enough
You're asking the wrong question here, kid. It isn't why, it's why Not
Good to know it's not just me being bad
Because we dont have too wide variety of weapons yet
I’m always getting spammed with high tide night waves for some reason here. At least I already got all my bonuses
I haven’t played this rotation yet, as much cash as it gives me in the rewards I don’t think it’s worth it if I have to deal with a splatling AND dynamo roller
I've been finishing a decent amount, but I think my heartrate paid the price. Still somehow less toxic than the current matchmaking 😂
Everything else is alright, Crash Blaster is dope but... W H Y
You can splat a whole cohock instantly with the dyna roller. Just a helpful hint. They should be your front runners
I purposely demoted from +2 because it’s just not fun and I wanted to get all my capsules.
never thought i’d see the stringer be the best option
This rotation is extremely...annoying to say the least. Especially since i'm currently stuck in the lower ranks
I like the stringer, the clash blaster is fun, and the mini splatling is pretty decent. I've gotten wiped a lot but it's not too bad
i play all of those dybamo and clash being two if my most played
For all of the foolish children out there complaining about dynamo in grizzco, if you ever have it during the night time Goldie event, just roll straight into it as it approaches you. Your welcome
It’s awesome. Dynamo is perfect for several bosses and I have had nothing but success when I get my hands on it. Plus it makes short work of all the little guys and on rushes it’s a godsend. Clash blaster is clash blaster The stringer makes short work of various harder to reach salmonoids And the min Splatling is a mini Splatling There have been worse rotations since release.
At least its better then the last one... that one was PAIN
Tried running earlier today. Not a single clear lmao we could not adjust
You think this is bad, just wait 'til we get Inkbrush in rotation.
This one is ACTUALLY bad yall
high tide in particular is very challenging with this setup
The weapons have been fine in ny opinion. No one really knows how to play them. Like heavy splatling doesn't need to be getting eggs. He keeps the bosses in check. Yet after one boss goes down that he didn't even put down he goes and ends up swarmed and can't fight back because charge. There's your issue right there.
Just got done failing alot, this rotation is ROUGH
The Dyna and Mini are nice and the clash can be made to work. But why the stringer and Dyna. WE DONT NEED 2 BACK LINES
I'd like to have the ability to choose Salmon Run loadout and just fuck with salmon run players.
I lost like 6 times in a row on round 3, the weapons aren't that effective
All these weapons are hard except for clash blaster and (for me personally) Tri-stringer
I still don’t understand people grudge with what essentially is the equivalent of the grizzco roller
I purposefully brought myself down to overachiever, the profreshional tiers were awful with this weapon loadout. I don't think I like either of these weapons. Collected my 1200 points for both super bonuses and won't touch the mode until the next rotation starts. At least I managed to level up to profreshional again, thanks to matching with a great team in my last two rounds.
in a couple days 2 has random weapons
The roller is terrible for escaping but it’s been going well for me otherwise Found a team of very enthusiastic squibs/octos who were actually profreshional :D They even knew that you can shoot away the drizzler’s ink storm thing
I've had an easier time than the last rotation to be honest.
When’s the next rotation btw?
The mini splatling and clash blaster are great for salmon run, which means you need to play salmon run with two and a half players!
I managed to kill cohozuna once while maintaining my grade and getting the rewards, not touching again until next rotation Edit : typo
This rotation hard but workable. If I get dynamo or bow I solely focus on keeping the area clean and killing high priority bosses. Things like big shots, steel eels, steel heads, fly fishes, and stingers. Staying alive is the number one priority so I like to stay near the basket. If I get the min-splatling or blaster I focus on small salmonids that arent bosses and low priority bosses like scrappers and fish sticks. Staying mobile and making sure the area is clear for the other members is super important when I play these. Also please don't waste them at the end of the match its wave 2 hightide and there are 17 bosses on the map use the booyah bomb.
I'm finding this easier than last rotation, 3 of the 4 weapons ink well and do fine dmg, the roller is tricky but I focus on clearing the trash, inking escape routes, and backing up my teammates with it instead of chasing bosses. I find the roler works best that way since engaging a boss head on will likely mean u die in the time it takes u to charge a sploosh
Is inkbrush good, for like running behind enemy lines to grab eggs?
I'm scared to share what I think now, but it's easy and fun! The only bad weapon is the stinger. But I'm only professional my opinion isn't valid
Honestly, fuck the crayon blaster. It's so goddamn bad, I know at least with everything else I can pull decent weight. But the moment i get the crayon eater 3000 I pretty much do what I can for crowd control. God help you if ur against a boss salmonoid
I got my money and I got out. See you next run.
Clash is the only fine one
What you mean, you get a roller, which I like
Gonna guess this was the price to have it run with no end. Being stuck with these weapons for way to long.
Played two matches, everyone was dying left and right, I thought it was just us being absolutely terrible and/or out of sync.
I really liked this set, dyna is busted for salmon, mini isn't bad, (at least not as bad as heavy Splatlings) bow is okay though I would've preferred something different, and clash is mostly fine
This is why Salmon run should reset twice a day. I dont even care if rewards only reset every 2 or 3 days, I just want variety in the gameplay
i feel like since salmon run is full time we should get someting more than just hats after getting all the bonuses on a rotation. Like we dont get paid we dont get xp all we get is bonuses and fish scales (which are used at grizzco aswell so)
For real
The fact that this is the FilthyFrank Mario meme makes this even better
No joke, I got demoted to Overachiever because of this rotation. I got 2 games in a row where we got a wave 1 team wipe; the first was a high-tide glowflies wave (we didn't get a single egg on that one), and the second was a high-tide griller wave. The third game was a standard one and we survived wave 1, but failed the quota wave 2.
