Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Unofficial Splatoon 2 Strategy and Loadout Thread

Dear fellow Splatoon 2 players. What's your favorite loadout in the game (Weapon, Shirt, Shoes, Hat)?  What specials have been working for you so far? What do you think of the new specials in the game? 

I've only just now hit level 4, but here's my impressions of weapons and loadouts. The Missile Launcher is really easy to dodge by swimming away from it when you see the lock on signal. Splashdown tends to telegraph too much, but if you jump onto somebody from high up, they won't see it coming. Ink Armor is great. The first submachinegun is one of the better weapons for low levels. It paints the ground quickly allowing you to build up super meter faster, and then you can use Ink Armor to help your team push for the win. 

The Splattershots (they look like a super soaker) don't really seem to be very good right now. Their ink consumption is high and their fire rate is low. I think the big Triangle Shaped grenades are the best since they hit a huge area, and can be buffed to insanity via Sub-Weapon Damage up.

Im only level 12. But I am loving the aerospray mg! (Same as I did on the Wii U) Very easy to ink a lot of land. And I like its Curling Bomb special! Very fun to use!

 

With that I've just been buying every clothes and unlocking its abilities. But I like partnering it with the increase Special Ep Faster ability.

Yeah in the first game I used Aerospray + Run Faster + Swim Speed Up + Special Up for Turf Wars. Moving fast with the aeropray to paint as much of the map as quickly as possible, while building super meter. Use super meter to get an easy kill and then paint the undefended area. Rinse, and repeat ftw. 



You can hold the charger's charge while swimming through ink and shoot it somewhere else

I thought that i'd be good at this game, unlike the first. NOPE. Just played for an hour though to be fair haha



The tentamissles are actually my favorite special so far. It's quick n easy to use, marks opponent's which has helped me splat them from behind walls with the Slosher, and yeah it's avoidable if you aren't distracted, but it forces the opponents to move and usually weakens them.

Yeah I find the missiles do really well when pushing at the end on TC or RM as they force them to retreat or push forward into your ink or close enough to kill them.



Still too early. Personally, I prefer the specials from tje first but so far the jet pack is my favorite.



Started it tonight and played up to level 6. Bought myself a Splattershot with the ink jet pack special and the Splat duelies with splash down special. However it will be NZapp all the way when I got the required level. Bought some clothing, mainly with the low ink consumption badge.
