Goals and objectives in Salmon Run
Salmon Run mode is divided into waves. Each wave spawns different salmonids and bosses that will come ashore to attack you, and your goal is to fend them off while collecting golden eggs.
Only bosses drop golden eggs, and the game will let you know when a boss spawns. Quickly pick them down so they drop golden eggs, then pick them up and use the A button to place them in the container.
However, each player can only carry one golden egg at a time, and your movement will be slowed down slightly when you have an egg in your possession. You must work as a team to collect as many eggs as possible while watching each other’s backs.
Your goal here is to get the Golden Egg quota for each wave while surviving the Salmonids.
Splatoon 3 Salmon Run tips
The hardest part about Salmon Run is that teams are given four different weapons, and you’re not always given one type of weapon that you’re necessarily familiar with or familiar with. We definitely recommend experimenting with all types of weapons as you level up, just so you have at least a basic understanding of how each one works once you’re in Salmon Run.
Here are a few more tips to keep in mind:
- Familiarize yourself with all types of weapons.
- Throw the Golden Egg towards your base to help you move faster and give your teammates a chance to pick it up and put it down.
- Pair up and cover different sides of the base in the later waves.
- Communicate with the directional pad to let each other know how you are doing or if you need help.
Doing well in Salmon Run definitely takes a lot of practice, so don’t worry if you feel like you’re doing really badly in your early matches.
