It doesn't help that Marina's design is so good.

Also I'm sad they didn't chose names that were puns, like Callie and Marie.

Waaaa?? I just did a run and you get like 5 more dudes if you head to the shop as final. Unicorn+cube of meat+bff is a joke lol

Free shop from the get go is ridiculous tho really. Today I got my 2nd run of 2 steam sales + restock and you can just sit on a .15er, get something to eat, and be completely decked out in everything. Everything dies before you can even get to the other side of the room lol

i think the game mode rotations are genius because in a lot of other shooters the less popular game modes just never get played at all

They probably timed Salmon Run so a bunch of Day 1ers dont immediately get a whole bunch of dope gear and crush people who may buy the game a month or two later or weekend warriors.

I see nothing wrong with it given how much of a problem crushing noobs is in other shooters like Overwatch or Paladins or even MOBA games where people would just create a whole set of new accounts for the sole purpose of crushing people without challenge.

I wouldn't want people deranking themselves on purpose and smurfing on Splatoon 2 with a bunch of pimped out Salmon gear. Would stop people from enjoying the game quite quickly.

I hate smurfing so goddamned much.

A bit weird, but you can set up salmon run games with your friends, not sure if it still drops loot though.

Salmon Run is probably the only way to get the inkbrush, the most feared weapon in the game.

Yeah, well, Pearl sucks.

With how popular Callie and Marie were, I'm wondering if they made new Squid Sisters in order to make amiibos of them later.
