The music you'll hear in the underground of the Spirhalite Islands comes from a Salmonid group called DHA. Their setup is similar to ω-3, using instruments that fit the natural environment to boost morale. Perhaps the cello & timpani resonate with the Salmonid nervous system?

The Flipper-Flopper is a Boss Salmonid that shoots a ring to ink the ground and then dives into that ring to attack. Ink the ground before it lands and its dive will fail, leaving it vulnerable. #SplatoonRaiders

Pick a member of Deep Cut to join you on your #SplatoonRaiders adventures in the Exploration Bot! They’ll help dig for treasure, but charge them up and they can turn the tide with a unique Showstopper attack.

Refresh that #Splatoon3 Splashtag with these new banners and titles featuring #SplatoonRaiders! Available now via the Splatoon 3 channel, which you can find in the News tab on your Nintendo Switch device.

The Salivator soars on large wings and creates whirlwinds to attack. Break the bags at the center of these whirlwinds and you'll create an updraft that you can ride high into the air.

We've had to adjust our profile on the Big Shot Boss Salmonid—it now hops to get around while slamming cannonballs down to produce shockwaves. If you defeat them in a way that causes them to drop those cannonballs, the shockwaves will affect Salmonids instead of you!

Sloshers spill a lot of ink and excel at dealing with groups of Salmonids. They are also great at hitting foes on higher ground or behind obstacles.

Chargers release long shots when you charge them up. At maximum they can actually penetrate through Salmonids, so try to hit foes that are arranged into straight lines.

Rollers can roll ink along the ground or spatter it at nearby foes. They're great at attacking multiple Salmonids at once.

Dualies offer high maneuverability. With one in each hand, you can execute a high-speed roll to dodge Salmonids and reposition while shooting.

Splatlings charge up and then unleash rapid fire in the blink of an eye. Their overwhelming power is worth the wait of charging up.

Shooters keep shooting ink while you hold the button which makes them straightforward and easy to handle. They are adaptable to handling any type of Salmonid or situation. #SplatoonRaiders

Add a Gadget Workshop to the hideout ship, and you can work with Shiver to combine the materials you've collected into new gadgets. #SplatoonRaiders

With a Weapon Stash added to your hideout ship, you and Frye can enhance weapons with materials you've collected or deconstruct weapons you no longer need. #SplatoonRaiders

You can use the materials you collect to build an Arcade Cabinet and play some nostalgic original games! Don't worry, you don't need any coins to play. #SplatoonRaiders

Adjust the difficulty of #SplatoonRaiders at any time. Salmonid strength will change, but treasure will stay the same—adjusting the challenge won't cause you to miss out on anything.

Not only is the Thick-Cut Salty Tongue a frightening specimen to look at, it also boasts a booming voice and serious lung capacity—which it all too readily uses to fire off powerful soundwave lasers. #SplatoonRaiders

The Steel Eel is a Boss Salmonid that will chase after you with its long body. Attacking the driver at the end is key to taking it down. You'll have to maneuver around the head, since it can deflect attacks. #SplatoonRaiders

The Stinger is a Boss Salmonid that shoots ink from afar. Defeat it by destroying all seven stacked pots—its main body will hit the burner at the bottom. #SplatoonRaiders

The Salty Tongue is a Boss Salmonid that attacks up close with powerful bites. It has a lot of stamina, so you'll have to wear it down gradually while keeping your distance. We're still trying to ascertain why its tongue is always sticking out... #SplatoonRaiders

Place the Shot Pot, a gadget for the Tactical Tank, to unleash a turret that will automatically shoot nearby Salmonids. This slick gadget doesn't miss! #SplatoonRaiders

The Spinwheel is a gadget for the Power Tank that inks its way forward as it spins and knocks foes aside. Use it to clear your way forward, or have it lock on to a Boss Salmonid and deal damage! #SplatoonRaiders

The Blast Boot is a gadget for Speed Tank. While great for running and jumping in general, you can also use it leap forward and blast your heels into hordes of Salmonids! #SplatoonRaiders

An update on the KIDS Act: the package of censorship and surveillance "kids safety" bills that Congress rushed to a vote, passed out of the House last night on a 267-117 vote (with 47 members not voting). This is bad news, but not the end of the road. KOSA is not law yet.

Join us on June 30 at 7am PT for the #SplatoonRaiders Direct! The presentation will last roughly 15 minutes and provide more info on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game. #NintendoDirect Watch here: ninten.do/6013vS2Ec

A reminder to call your reps and tell them NO KOSA We made a Call tool w/script at www.badinternetbills.com

it's very possible the House will pass their bad version of KOSA. It's different than the Senate's bad version, though, and there is a very good chance they will be unable to reconcile the differences. We have to keep the pressure on.

🚨THE KIDS ACT IS AN INTERNET SURVEILLANCE BILL🚨 Congress is rushing the KIDS Act toward a vote. This blend of KOSA, the SCREEN Act, SAFE Bots, and other bills is a single package that is a threat to privacy and free expression for ALL internet users. 🧵(1/10)

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...
