Splatoon 2 – Salmon Run mode details – set the difficulty percentage and more
Posted on June 13, 2017 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
– Work together in teams of up to four to collect Salmonid eggs
– The mode is split up into three waves
– Each wave gives the team a quota of eggs to collect, as well as a time limit
– The goal is to defeat enemies, causing them to drop eggs
– You must then haul those eggs back to the basket
– If you meet your quota when time expires, all remaining enemies retreat and you move on to the next round
– Difficulty can be set out of 100%, Game Informer’s demo was set to 5%
– Heavy Salmonids have armor in the front
– Have to distract these enemies while a teammate flanks it to blast ink at its exposed backside
– When Inklings take too much damage in Salmon Run, they can be revived by a teammate shooting them with ink
– Boss character is in the form of a tall, slender creature
– Boss is just pots stacked on top of each other
– Blast at the bottom pot for it to disappear and the creature to shrink
– Continue to do this until the enemy is nothing
– Bosses more difficult in following waves
– One boss is a massive metal eel
– The eel rains down hostile ink
– This boss is driven by a Salmonid creature
– Blast the operator and destroy the eel
– Another boss has two trashcans attached to the side
– The boss hovers over the battlefield, seemingly invincible
– Trashcan opens and it rains down blobs of ink
– Take him out by tossing bombs into the open trashcans
– Enemies appeared in greater numbers in wave three
– 40% was the highest difficulty people on the Nintendo E3 team could beat
