The blaster is so crazy that I hope it never catches on; there was a guy kicking my rear end with it consistently and there's not much you can do if he gets into optimal range and shoots first.

I love it so much. I haven't gotten to a particularly high level yet, though. Is there an alternate blaster hiding around somewhere?

I ignore how players in a team are ranked based on k/d because guarding the base, being a distraction, and disrupting the opponents zone are MVP roles. GeneX posted:I just beat singleplayer. Also this. It wasn't what I expected. It just kept going.

All the bosses were great. They were all really easy until the last boss but they were really cool looking. I liked the big eel thing that had teeth missiles.

I think of all weapons, the Ink Brush might be the only one that could somehow benefit from a disruptor bomb. Still probably a trash subweapon. Come on nintendo I need Ink Brush varients. Give it echolocator special, and maybe ink mine.

BattleMaster posted:All they need to do is add a map ping and "I'm on it" and "No can do" to the left/right on the D-pad and it will have enough communication for most purposes. Nobody would use them though. At least that's my guess based on the number of beacons my teammates drop within ten feet of our spawn point. Also holy poo poo people, shoot the opponents' sprinklers. Don't leave it up to the roller to tank like 95% damage just to get rid of it.

Caerulius posted:The best way to use inkmines is offensively. Drop one and then get someone to chase you over it while youre shooting for a one two punch. It cant really hold a choke point on its own, but can really help in holding one. Yeah, Ink Mines are great for this reason. Drop them on choke points as you're leaving your base area then drop them in the middle of chunks of territory you've just claimed. You're about to be cornered? Drop a mine and get that fucker from beyond the grave. The fact that they last for so brief a time means it's okay to drop them semi-regularly, and almost no one expects you to really use them at all so it's easy to surprise people with them. Ink mines are the best.

Ink mines are the best. My favorite thing about ink mines in Splat Zones is that when the opposing team claims the part of the zone where the mine is, the mine explodes and immediately takes control back from them. I love the barrage of control messages that results. Also, something interesting I noticed in the guide -- the rewrote the zone capturing messages between the time of giving the images to Prima and release. The guide has screenshots with "They/We capped a zone!" and "Zone neutralized!" I much prefer what we ended up with; "control" is so much more clear than "capped" (captured).

That song is still great tho.

Does anyone try out all the guns they buy? I've bought almost all of them in game but generally use the same four most of the time.

The only weapon purchase I've regretted is the rapid blaster. Speaking of, who in their right mind would use the rapid blaster deco?

Are there any hard numbers for what a disruptor actually does? I use them a lot and I feel like they're helpful but I don't really have any concrete evidence that they do much. I like that they make rollers pretty useless for a while and it highlights people when they try to swim away.

This game is so drat fun. Really enjoying splat zones. Lots of weapons that don't do so hot in turf war because of limited painting ability are great in splat zones for knocking out the enemy team. It feels way more focused, although its frustrating if your team doesn't even try to coordinate. Had a good run of wins there. Still too poor to buy the freshest gear.

My entire team disconnected...andddd now I'm at the bottom of C+... ...at least I'm better at the Blaster now. Edit: yup deranked. Fuckkk I scored a quad kill twice and tried to hold the base but my entire team was inking up the top part of Saltspray Rig instead multiple times. Time to take a break.

Blaster is really good, though you have to know the ranges they work at. Otherwise they hit the wall and do almost nothing. I tried using the Splattershot along with their maligned Burst Bombs and found they are really good to toss at people trying to use the high ground to their advantage. Spammed a bunch at the spot and actually got a double kill with them, and even if it doesn't kill it can discourage people from trying to push if they get tagged by too much ink.

Because I love puns, and puns in other languages are the best puns. Also I think I'm getting the hang of the inkbrush, although it still seems tricky and near-useless in cases where the enemy team is blocking off all routes (so you can't zip past them and ink up the places they're neglecting) or the walls are too narrow to get a good spread of ink out. But it's just too fun surprise-slapping your foes to death with a giant paintbrush. I'm keeping it.

Is the crane in saltspray rig actually useful for changing sniping position in ranked? It doesn't seem like the regular splat charger even has enough range to hit the zone.
