The big thing about it is it forces someone to move without a plan. I've been owned more than once seeing the big outline and being all OH GOD and running right into the enemies I was having a standoff with. I am not good under pressure.

The best time to use the killerwail is when you spot the little indicator that someone is jumping in. WELCOME TO THE ROCK SHOW

That's nowhere near the best use of it but nonetheless I will still do it without hesitation

How does you jumping into a killer wail have anything to do with your teammates

Look on the bright side.



If they don't have stealth jump and jump with you it gives your position away too.

Is that better or worse than super jumping into an Inkstrike?

I feel like jumping into an ink strike is usually your own fault since you can see the indicator

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Eh, it's happened to me. Sometimes you'll jump to a sniper just before some Aerospray toting chucklefuck decides to airstrike him

Another thing you can do with the Killer Wail is look on your map and see if the enemy team is inking up a narrow corridor (side passages on Underpass, Warehouse or Mall, etc). If so, just aim down it as parallel as possible then fire. Gets me a splat every time. :)

Some squids have done this to me too and I'm not even sure a quick superjump would save you.

This is why I can't give it up. I can jump into a fight and mop up a winner or reinforce a near-loser out of nowhere.

Has anyone bought all of the gear/weapons in the game? What else is there to spend your hard earned cash on, just secondary perk rerolls?

in-game money is a secondary pacing mechanism for acquiring items, so its kinda pointless once you acquire all the items (aside from rerolls like you mentioned).

You looked, Junker!
The .96 Deco is absolutely disgusting. There are multiple paths that can be completely blocked off with a Splash Wall, and with the gun's range and power you can often just throw it down and become instantly much more difficult to deal with from pretty much anywhere. Worst of all, when you finally manage to get around those stupid things, emergency Kraken means the whole dance starts all over again!

That elephant ate my entire platoon.
My new favourite thing is to race towards the centre with my dual squelcher, inking a path straight to the tower, but stopping one squelcher-range short to let my hapless teammates smash into the opposition at the tower. Meanwhile I'll hang out in behind, taking down the wannabe flankers from the other team.

I only feel a little bit guilty.

Well, I just rushed into battle right after starting the game, I was the second highest scoring person in the game, that's kind of disturbing. Especially since I didn't know how to permanently change my camera angle.

I just played the nuttiest Tower Defense game. The other team had two Jim Bob Cool Snipe fuckers on Arrowana who insisted on sitting on their perches. It did nothing to get the tower to our base, but it made it hell to get the tower into theirs. I finally had a brain storm and ran around in their base in circles as bait. They took it and spent all their time sniping me while the tower slid into home.

I ranked up to B- from that game.

Well you're wrong.

The bandit masks ARE pretty iconic though. They are absolutely an integral part of the design.

Longer range on bombs is something you get on headgear, I think.

I think the Inklings tentacle hair is pretty distinct but I don't really see why making hairstyles is a problem because its not like it would get rid of the tentacles, just style them differently. Plus half the hats the inkling boy can wear cover his top knot anyways. Give me an option to let the tentacles down Nintendo!
