Splatoon 3 SURVIVAL HACKS

[@DaltonFan28]

"Being aware of my surroundings"? What's that? I play just to spray and pray and look like an absolute idio- ohhh, I now understand why I'm bad at Splatoon.

[@techno952]

For weapons I would recommend trying out at least one weapon of every type. Then pick out which ones you like most and find what subs/specials that you like are on those weapons. Also just because you don’t like one blaster doesn’t mean you won’t like another. For years I hated blasters and never wanted to play them. Then came along the kensa Luna blaster and I was in love. Whenever you feel bored or don’t know what weapon to pick try a new one you haven’t before to spice things up. Who knows you might find a new main!

[@tyresr]

I have hundreds of hours into both Splatoon 1 & 2 and yet I still watched this video because I’m thirsty for more Splatoon 3 content

[@nielsculy-quere5023]

me too. i see splatoon 3, i click

[@mariofanl1ve]

Oh don't mind me, I'm just watching a beginners guide to Splatoon even though I've been playing since Splatoon 1 and am pretty good at the game, very far from the best, but pretty good.

[@CMYKITSUNE]

speaking from experience: the weapons you like may change overtime and the ones you didnt consider using may grow on you! if you notice using a specific weapon maybe check out other types of that class so you may adapt easier. and sometimes you can start using a brand new class just because you didnt realize how fun it was singleplayer modes and salmon run are great for experimenting since they usually assign you a weapon by themselves for example i like using brushes and since im used to spamming zr anyway i got attached to sloshers. i use both now

[@datseawitchudontknow5329]

I at first was too cool for the blobber. Now it single-handedly keeps me from dropping a rank (I am not good at Splatoon)

[@Sol6ris]

it's very important to practice more than one weapon imo! i use clash blaster, clear dapple dualies, and squiffer! you never know when you'll have to switch things up to keep an opponent on their toes or to counterattack! it's up to the player tho!

[@currentlybeingremade9706]

Grind ability chunks is a big one. Salmon run can give a lot, but now you can change main abilities in splat 3, so make clothes you want, but on average it’ll be around 110 chunks to fully mono ability your gear.

[@cathackzz]

holy shit that clip of the big bubbler over the ultra signal is fucking hilarious how did i never think of that

[@AkwaDoll]

0:55 OH THAT'S CREEPY! but i love how you use all the sound effects in just like the most perfect way! your vids have THE best ambiance!

[@Pufuu]

Thank you!

[@gomamon8439]

I’ll never trust a “this way”. More times than not you end up dead because someone hasn’t actually created a path. Also people who don’t understand resetting the rainmaker is a good idea sometimes.

[@eligamerman]

Excellent guide! This will definitely help Splatoon newcomers. I've been playing Splatoon since the beginning was was still able to pick some tips up 👍

[@egdaan]

Big man accessing his situation by the UI and saying he was losing was relatable xD

[@kale20484]

as a person who has been playing the splatoon series since the beginning, i think you should get good with lots of weapons

[@SplatDroid]

Ayo thx for the shoutout in the description! Also great vid!!!

[@Pufuu]

Thank you! Your guide was really well done

[@polygonaltree1566]

I haven't seen the video so idk what tips you'll suggest but here are three of my tips: 1. Take advantage of the range of your weapon. Running a splattershot pro, jet squelcher, splat charger or most long ranged weapons at close range can easily end in a one-way ticket to the respawn area, so stay away from your opponents. On the contrary, aggressively move forward or sneak ahead with close ranged weapons. 2. Prevent "walk-and-shoot-syndrome". This is where you mindlessly shoot your weapon while moving around. There are other options, like getting in swim form to a better position or disengage. 3. Speaking of disengaging, focus on some of that. There's no need to always be risky and aggressive. Escaping from harmful situations can be more helpful than the 10-20 seconds it takes for you to come back from respawning.

[@KiloCreations]

This is gonna be a good one! I like to survive so this should help 🙂

[@Pufuu]

Hopefully the tips help out!

[@Stephen-Fox]

Salmon Run is (or was in 2 at least) a great way of getting food and drink tickets, but also trying out random weapons to see if you like them enough to want to try and get good with them because, well, you're given random weapons for it. I don't think you can get good with a weapon in salmon run due to the differences in how you play PvE and PvP generally, but you can get a good sense of 'is this main weapon something I enjoy using' in it. It helps that it's a really fun mode, of course.

[@ZohGaEri]

totally agree!! if it wasn't for salmon run i would've never even tried using sloshers, and now they're one of my favorite classes!!

[@delta5287]

I say you get good with the weapons in term of knowing their strengths and weaknesses while practicing other aspects of the game like prioritizing dangerous targets or going around them, helping teamates, and focusing your current objective whether that's inking turf or splatting a particularly good player. The mode is really fun especially in the higher tiers when you actually face small armies of boss salmonids or even maximum hazard.

[@generalzar0ff]

Great tips, and the editing is always astounding!

[@krill_inksanity]

Thank you for the guide! I will surely apply some of these tips in Splatoon 3. Also, I am a cameo :0

[@sheikadeika7112]

About the don’t be predictable as a carbon roller main this is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY because if you aren’t able to implement stealth then don’t move predictably even basic zigzagging is better than a straight line

[@bappo2250]

I was a splat roller main for a solid 4 years and come Splatoon 3 testfire I found out I'm also really good with the dualies. The TROUBLE THIS WOULD HAVE SAVED ME IF I HAD JUST BRANCHED OUT AND EXPERIMENTED WITH WEAPONS.

[@SoySauceDude]

LETS GO I DID IT MOM IM IN A PUFFU VIDEO 😎😎😎😎😎😎 BOOYAH BACK!!!!

[@Joisuakajxisu]

Very helpful- definitely a video i’ll come back to once I get a hold of the game. The splatfest was literally my first time playing splatoon and I definitely have a long way to go but I thibk for the first time I did pretty well! I was pretty freaked out on my first round but after awhile and testing out a variety of weapons, I was doing decently well :D

[@kateybuggi]

It personally took me a year to find out that I was best with dynamo. You should definitely experiment until you find whats right for you. ALSO PRACTICE! Play pbs with streamers, play turf war to get used to weapons, do the single player. Like after I started regularly playing pbs and legue with a streamer I got like 100% better. It really helps. Doesnt even have to be with a streamer maybe with just some friends over discord. just sum tips from someone with 680 hours in splat 2 over 2 years

[@sapphireaurora9634]

God, the "this way" command is so important in salmon run, and yet in mid game no one listens. Like mechanical I'm trash but no one listens when I spam "this way" due to a night event

[@MiiV2]

[@loganwest4164]

[@squiffurthewolf6276]

2:22 left handed inkling is so cursed omg why does that look so weird

[@ToontownAndCpenguin]

N-Zap series is my jam, ever since I picked up the 89 in the first game, it just clicked. I want to know other weapons, I feel it will help me in the long run, but man, I love the N-Zaps. I love inking turf, the 89 was so good for that in the first game. I launched so many inkstrikes per match, it was insane! I was playing the first game again today, been YEARS, but 2 of my favorite maps were in rotation at the same time, Mahi-Mahi Resort & Hammerhead Bridge (yes, I flipped out when they were announced & then was disappointed when Mahi-Mahi was so different during the splatfest world premier) & wow, felt so good to pick that up again. I hope whenever the 89 is back in the 3rd game, it has the triple inkstrike. I want to know other weapons, I know nothing fits my play style as well as an N-Zap although I did end up liking the Sploosh-O-Matic in the second game, I didn't like it in the first because the range sucks but enjoying it in the second because I like inking & I also like curling bombs.

[@faerieflttr]

Another thing I would like for people to know; Since salmon run is now confirmed to be 24/7, DON'T stand infront of someone when they're trying to shoot/ink. I cannot describe how ANNOYING and unpractical this is, You are not only wasting someone elses ink, aim, time and patience. Also, please ink your spawns. I hate when my teammates go towards mid and leave the spawn looking dryer than my DM's. Sorry not Sorry,

[@josemembreno3134]

hm... maybe i just got super lucky with who i got paired with, but when i was playing the Splatfest World Premiere, rushing into enemy territory ASAP and generally being aggressive usually got me a lot of good "#1" medals. then again, i also don't think i was completely unaware of who was around me at any given moment, so maybe it was just that i wasn't being an idiot about it. ...though, i also never really paid attention to the UI, so i had no idea who i was facing against or whether they had their specials ready. i feel like that'll be an issue moving forward...

[@techno952]

Do I do story mode or matches first!?!?!

I'm planning on doing a few hero mode levels to refamiliarize myself with the controls, and likely figuring out what sensitivity I want motion at. And then probably Salmon Run because I tend to do way too much Salmon Run, but...
