The Grizzco slosher ignores armored salmon and damages them through whatever they have. Even the flyfish

I did a Salmon Run with Grizzco weapons and the Slosher is just awful.

Oh cool, those long snake Boss Salmonids can fucking fold in on themselves.

Don't bash a weapon as awful then immediately complain about a situation said weapon is perfect to deal with.

Why do you think I have a problem with a weapon that only has three charges in a goddamn Horde mode.

Chill dude. The grizz slosher is the only weapon that pierces boss armor. Steel Heads, Scrappers, Fly Fish, and Drizzlers can all go down without exposing their week points.

Edit: And grillers. Finally a weapon that turns my most hated phase into a joke. evil grin

It's also a weapon that nigh instantly deletes anything in front of it

Perhaps even more than some other difficult weapons the grizzco slosher requires good team synergy

The only thing that takes some getting used to is the arc- You don't even need to be terribly good with it, it's basically a wall of ink that'll eventually one-shot whatever it stops next to.

It takes a bit of adjustment, but once you're used to the arc, it's honestly one of the better weapons. Mainly because it has armor piercing and can kill otherwise invincible bosses like Flyfish, Steelheads, and Drizzlers.

Also, don't be so quick to dismiss a weapon as being bad. In like 90% of cases, weapons aren't bad, they just have a higher learning curve. Outside of start weapons like the Splattershots, you can't just pick something up and expect to be awesome with it within the first few battles. It takes some time to learn each weapon's idiosyncrasies and what role it best serves in each mode.

I still don't know how to use a Squeezer efficiently. Or at all.

But Sloshers are kinda like a video game shotgun in that the area of attack isn't long, but is wide and powerful where it does hit. Spamming it I found can work okay but aiming it properly is more important.

I think i love the Heavy Splatling you guys.

Can't use the special for crap but being able to waste everyone in font of me is pretty neat.

The Tri-Slosher Nouveau might be overpowered. Dudes were constantly getting the drop on me but I still wasted them with one or two throws.

I hate that ranked matches have such short timers. We constantly make comebacks but the timer runs out and we don't have enough points.

[up] Short timer? Ranked Battles are 5 minutes long. 2 minutes longer than regular Turf War.

Speaking of this Salmon Run, I call it a Grizzco Goldmine. Got my first 100 Golden Eggs in one shift. A 110 eggs to be precise.

[up]x3 Tower especially is such a tug-of-war that if a team gets close to the end before getting repelled they might as well end the match there, because the timer's on their side.

[up]x2 ...Aren't the Inklings like 16?

Also the Toxic Mist sub-weapon is a strength debuff right? I'm trying to gather weapons with it attached.

Playable Inklings are 14, Agent 3 and 8 are at least 16, Agent 4 is 14, Callie and Marie are 18-20, Marina's 18, Pearl's 21, Cap'n Cuttlefish is...old.

[up][up][up]Toxic Mist cuts the movement speed of any enemy or enemies who is/are caught in it by half and slowly drains their ink. It's good for limiting movement options.

Been playing Turf War after sticking with Salmon Run with Grizz Co weapons yesterday. I gotta say I'm not seeing the missile hell some of you guys were talking about. If anything, now I feel is way easier to get away from a barrage without a scratch, since now the fall patten has been standarized instead of feeling like missiles are falling around you at random.

Before I would swim past a barrage and some missiles would still find their way next to me. Now I can swim away and be sure I'm leaving the trail behind me.

Is the Ballpoint Splatling good? I'm not getting good results with it compared to the Heavy Splatling.

Maybe I should just stick with the basic guns, dual pistols, brushes, rollers and sloshers.

I'm finding a lot of weapons are just too much effort to use effectively.

TIL the Inkbrush has a Gotta Go Fast mode.
