Splatoon 3

Splatoon 3’s big Grand Festival event has wrapped up, ending the game’s primary content cycle (save for maybe a couple of repeat Splatfests). During the event, all players were moved over to an exclusive Grand Festival venue instead of the standard Splatsville, Inkopolis Square, or Inkopolis Plaza hub. The seven idols took turns performing their music during the event, too. The Grand Festival venue had a ton of work put into it, and so it’d be a shame if it weren’t accessible again after the event. Fortunately, you can still go back even though the event has ended. All you need is a certain amiibo.

As shown during the halftime report, Team Past had a slight lead with 35.12 percent. Team Present was in second at 33.33 percent, followed by Team Future with 31.55 percent.

Every few days, a new Salmon Run shift starts in Splatoon 3. Each one includes four different weapons, a different stage, and a different King Salmonids. We’ve already written guides on all of the King Salmonids in Splatoon 3 (you can check them out here), but how can you tell if a given rotation is good or bad? Today, we’re going over what makes a Salmon Run shift “good” – in other words, viable for farming – and what makes a Salmon Run shift “bad”, too.

With Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival coming up soon, we figured now would be a good time to make a guide on sub weapons aimed at casual or former players who might be returning to play the event.

If you haven’t played much of Splatoon 3 just yet (somehow), there are tons of sub weapons available in the game that each serve a different purpose. Some are area-of-effect damage-rackers, while others are purely defensive or for support. Still, how well you use your subs can make or break individual games. Some are better than others, too, so we’ll be going over what each one does, tips for using them, and how to counter other players using them against you.

At the time of writing, Splatoon 3 has reached its final “new” season – that is to say, there presumably won’t be any more feature updates that add new gear, emotes, and the like. That said, the game rotated between several different catalogs, some of which do have exclusive gear, and it’s possible that some of you are still missing out on catalog-only content. As the game starts to pick up for the last time just before the Grand Festival, we figured it’d be a good time to list off some tips and tricks to maxing out your catalog as soon as possible.
