Just a quick thread from me today.

Please if you are playing Salmon run, lure the bosses to the basket.
When the boss Salmonids are splatted it makes it much faster and more manageable if you only have to carry the golden eggs a short distance.

For some reason squids online seem to struggle with this.

If Maws is targeting you walk towards the basket and get ready to throw a bomb into her mouth.

If you see a Steelhead, don't run up to it unless they are close to your basket, as they will stand still when they ready their ink bombs.
Use their short range to your advantage.

If a Steel Eel is targeting you make sure it does not splat your team.
Ensure that they will be able to splat the Salmonid controlling it, when it is getting close to the basket as the golden eggs appear at the driver.
Use a similar tactic for the Scrappers and the BBQ guys.

Make sure that you deal with Stingers and Flyfish quickly, they can singlehandedly ruin a run.

Drizzlers, I don't have any real tips for these yet, just do what makes sense I guess.
You can shoot them whilst they float to the ground, I guess that is a tip...

When the valves pop up you are tasked with finding the one that hides a golden Salmonid.
Start splatting the valves until you find the Golden Salmonid.
Once you open the correct valve the Golden Salmonid will float up to the top of the steam of green ink.
Start shooting the Salmonid as much as you can, it will keep dropping eggs until it runs into another valve and the cycle is restarted.
I don't know if there is a pattern for this section of Salmon Run yet, so until then it seems to be profitable, but sometimes challenging work.

Now recently I have seen dropships and motherships popping up, I do not have any tips for these yet.


Have any Salmon Run tips, I would love to hear them.
