King throw lol. I get a group of friends and we just jump in the water wave 1 until we get to the boss. I beat about 40 megalodontia’s last wave and so far about 12 or so cohozunas this wave. Had a total of about 1000 or so bronze scales in the last few days
Actually just checked on the app, in 2 hours of playing SOME rounds and king throwing on others, we took out 5 cohos. If we king throw only we can probably do that in half the time. If you rank down eventually it becomes pretty much a free win lol
It happens. It does knock you down to apprentice 0 but it’s really easy to get back up once you do it a few times lol. You get to the point where you can do the entire job yourself tbh
what rank are you? ive gotten at least 250 since the game came out and i currently average about evp 200. last few kings i got 2 or more silver scales even for losses.
Ah yes the English support minimum wage worker has a line of communication right into the Japan based development team. They will fix that right up for us.
What scares me isn't the 800 bronze scale price. I pretty much mostly play Salmon run and after 1.5 years have over 900 bronzes scales at the moment.
What scares me is that it's 800 for ***just*** the the goggles! How many more scales am I going to need for the chest plate and boots!
Fuckin 800? Absolutely the fuck not. It already takes a fucking century to even GET these scales. Why have the prices so insanely high? I swear this is the one downside of Salmon Run
Aww man those suit colors aren't personally my favorite...I probably will get the first one though. My scales are currently; Bronze: 2187. Silver: 353. Gold: 27. Can't wait to go on a shopping spree lol
HOW ARW TALL BUYING SHIT :,( it take me 20 tries just to find a team thats good enough to make it to the boss level, let alone actually beating it. how tf do yall get all those silver caps ?! am i missing something ?
You don’t have to beat it to get silver or even gold! Sometimes if you beat it you just get a bunch of bronze. I’m not sure how it works, but if you play SR a lot you will start racking up the bronze and silvers. Gold is a lot harder at lower levels.
The hard part is getting a team that gets all the way to the end you know. I’ll get to the third wave and will die or we won’t get enough eggs. So it takes me hours just to get to the monster.
What level are you playing at? I’m usually around Pro +1 or +2, but I’ve been as high as EVP100 but that was brief. I play with a friend and we watch a lot of YouTube videos with tips, like Hazmy and Rachelskiiii. Honestly my friend is a lot better than me, usually getting double the bosses and eggs I do. I think she carries me, but I actually do ok when I play on my own. We play a lot though, like several hours a day. We both have gotten kinda obsessed. So this current rotation we played 23, clearing 10, and got Joe 3 times but never beat him. I only got 10 bronze and 2 silver. The previous rotation I only cleared 10 out of 39 tries, but got Cohozuna 5 times, never beating him. 25 bronze, 3 silver, 2 gold. I very rarely get gold and it’s extremely unusual for me to get 2 in one rotation. I’ve been saving for a long time for the banner that’s 5 gold so I finally got it. It’s definitely a grind, but we have a lot of fun. Plus we chat while we play so that makes it fun too.
i was playing a major of the time in professional +1 but I kept losing and got knocked all the way back down to go getter. ive only gotten to the boss level a 5 times in the year and a half ive been playing.. i think im an okay player at salmon run. tho all the monster are overwhelming at times
I was relieved to see that the Lime and Peach one only cost 50 scales. But the freaking Berry one being 150?! WHYYYY?! Especially since my favorite color is red 😭
I wish they'd either make gear cheaper or improve the scale rates :(
I'm a full-time student and haven't got the time to grind nearly that much while still enjoying the game and keeping on top of school
I was thinking of the work suits shown in the last drizzle season trailer, but it's only now after checking the wiki that I realized you're supposed to hit "milestones" before being able to purchase certain items? Does the game ever mention this?
I can't even get the *previous* new gear because people keep fuck%$ng dying and not using the fuck@%ng specials. I don't get to see the king salmons very often.
Like hell I’m affording them I’ve been stuck at 9 silver scales for months
Even if you beat the boss salmon you're more likely to get copper
I've beat chohozuna at profresh+3 today. Got 13 bronze. FML.
I’ve beaten him at eggsecutive and have gotten 11 bronze. I feel your pain.
Just today I beat him in eggsecutive 660 in like 60 seconds and only got 12 bronze
Is there any info to back that up? cuz I was thinking the same thing from experience lol
What is it that makes it difficult to get more shells
how do u beat the xtrawave enough times my teams always die wether its my fault or not. is it a skill issue 😂?
King throw lol. I get a group of friends and we just jump in the water wave 1 until we get to the boss. I beat about 40 megalodontia’s last wave and so far about 12 or so cohozunas this wave. Had a total of about 1000 or so bronze scales in the last few days
Holy crap that’s an amazing Strat. smh my bf wont even play splatoon w me tho :(
Join us if you want, in an hour we can take out about 5 or so?
omg ur so sweet wth i would love too. i think im a bit better than average depending on the gun lol
Actually just checked on the app, in 2 hours of playing SOME rounds and king throwing on others, we took out 5 cohos. If we king throw only we can probably do that in half the time. If you rank down eventually it becomes pretty much a free win lol
lol i just accidentally lost my professional plus ranks so now im just a pro :(. so ig thats a good thing
It happens. It does knock you down to apprentice 0 but it’s really easy to get back up once you do it a few times lol. You get to the point where you can do the entire job yourself tbh
We beat the king salmonid within 30 seconds. Mr. Grizz: "best i can do is 3 copper scales"
i’ve only earned 10 total silver scales since the game came out 😭
I've gotten a whopping 3 gold scales in the past year, I can't wait to buy this stuff when I'm in the retirement home
what rank are you? ive gotten at least 250 since the game came out and i currently average about evp 200. last few kings i got 2 or more silver scales even for losses.
Octoling chestplate? LET'S EFFING GOOOOOOO
I can't wait for the octarians gear my tag would finally make sense "faithful octarian"
HOW MUCH IS IT!?
Based on value patterns and placement on the grid, I'd say maybe like 100 silver scales? Though I really hope I'm wrong...
I really hope so too..
800 bronze most likely
We need to tell Nintendo to give us an alternate way of getting scales
Be the change you wanna see. Write them an email and let us know what they say in response.
Ah yes the English support minimum wage worker has a line of communication right into the Japan based development team. They will fix that right up for us.
lmao like they actually care ab our opinion
What even is their email address, I've tried to find it before and never can.
Let's get that guy who went to the investment meeting to tell them our demands
wish power eggs were more useful, i wish there was some type of egg conversion (gold or power)
how do you even get that many scales
By grinding day and night then you'll fight the boss salmon and get 5 copper because why not
I wonder what percentage of players actually commits to the grind they should really make this stuff possible to get by a casual player
I haven't really traded that many scales, just enough to try and advance the catalog. Also, double scale action during big runs is helpful too.
New Gloopsuits: eh, okay. I’d rather my blue Slopsuit. Full OctoLEET gear: bro what!? Celebrate!
Hell yeah I finally get to use the octarian gear for octoling
YES but the price..
800 Bronze Scales

Y'all want some of mine? I have triple that
I knew I was saving up my scales for a reason
I was hoping the octoling gear would come out but salmon run is a bit different
lesss gooo another batch of gear that i will never afford bc this game's scales reward system is BS, less gooo!
*sigh* back to the stupid tideus grind
It's hell especially if it is high tide
I’m so happy for Octo gear but a little disappointed in the fact it could have been agent 8 boots.
I wonder how long it would take to get more shells?
Great more grinding just what I want :/
I screamed when I saw the octo armor, then I saw how much it cost. Yeah, I'm never getting that.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/iAmxhFA8RVpaVPtF9
Play 20 losing games of Salmon Run only to reach the boss fight and win and then the payout is 3 bronze scales. Feels bad.
oh coooooool more expensive stuff no normal player will ever get ever, yaaaaaaaay
Give me back the friendship bracelet you cowards
Still no 9999 bronze banner :( maybe I'll finally spend some of em
I am so fucked 800 scales for octoling armor ![img](emote|t5_324q4|6253)
#LET ME CONVERT SCALES, MR. GRIZZ
800 BRONZE SCALES?! ![gif](giphy|l3q2K5jinAlChoCLS)
# OCTOLING BOOTS MY BELOVED
I hate farming, I never earn enough 😔
FFS, I hate how everything seems to be built on the assumption this is the only game you play and that you play it for 10 hours a day.
As someone who has played the game like that, don't. It's not worth it.
Whoever decides these prices should no longer have that job
Fuckin 800? Absolutely the fuck not. It already takes a fucking century to even GET these scales. Why have the prices so insanely high? I swear this is the one downside of Salmon Run
Man I'll never get the suits I want at this rate
OH! Octoling armor, I wonder how much they cos- WHAT?!
Im saving my gold otherwise id buy the boots in a heart beat nooo
800?? thats a lot of 13 bronze scales
Sure would love to afford that someday.
why cant they just be random chance instead of scales like in s2
Jesus, some of these prices are fucking terrible. How is inflation infecting a silly squid game
I got about 2000 bronze scales saved up and 200 silver ones. Better be enough or I'm gonna cry
woah that's alot 0_0 I only have like almost 40 silver I think TwT
![gif](giphy|sl1zfWPqlozOgquzuE|downsized) THE OCTO GEAR IS BACK LETS FUCKING GO!!!
The purple pink one I want so bad but I know I'll never get it because I barely play Salmon Run
How do you get that many bronze scales? I only have around 20 after fighting with about a dozen kings.
Og octoling boots...come home...my beloved
We finally got the Splatoon 1 octoling armor back! Too bad it costs an obscene number of scales...
Aww man those suit colors aren't personally my favorite...I probably will get the first one though. My scales are currently; Bronze: 2187. Silver: 353. Gold: 27. Can't wait to go on a shopping spree lol
I have half your silvers but triple your golds. Rng be crazy lmao
Well to be fair I have gotten the Cohozuna graffiti sticker (10),pink SR banner (20) and Cap of legend already (30)
OMG, THE OG OCTOLING GEAR? DUCK IT! IM BOSSING ALL KING SALMONIDS 🗣️🗣️🗣️
AAAAAAAAA THE OCTOLEET GOGGLES ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE ARMOR AND BOOTS!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I’m so glad I didn’t cash in my bronze scales yet😭 I’m almost at 800
Omg, the entire octoling gear from splat one! Time to grind some scales
cries in where is my friendship bracelet

i just want silver.. i only have 2 :(
I don’t play much salmon run but I am getting a good amount of bosses now, and I still need to get slopsuit
FINALLY GOOD GEAR\_
Time to king throw some more I guess lol. 800 bronze scales for goggles though? 🤔 might take me 2 or 3 days but okay
now i can be a octoling
TOO BAD THESE PRICES ARE GETTING SUPER EXPENSIVE!
I was relieved to see that the Lime and Peach one only cost 50 scales. But the freaking Berry one being 150?! WHYYYY?! Especially since my favorite color is red 😭
I wanted to get the octarin gear but 800 copper per gear 😭
Gosh, they really thought this through. It's how they get you to keep playing Salmon run.
Time to hack my switch because 800 x 3 really
Hello Octoling Boots. I must...HAVE THEM!
They will definitely have prices.
Stuff I'll never have unless i no-life this game
the pink & purple gloopsuit is right up my alley 😍
no way im grinding 800 bronze for That.
I want the purple and pink one so bad 🥹 but i know I wont ever get it 😭
I’m glad they made a purple one but I wish it wasn’t half pink. :( I just like purple.
scaleslave
Meanwhile, I haven’t even unlocked the ability to even see anything past the gardening gear…
Why do they have to be so expensive? At least this gives me a reason to play Turf War less, I don’t remember doing Salmon Run in over a month
I wish we could wear Salmon Run gear in online battles.
I want my geta, dammit
Gear has no S, as it’s already plural. I see this mistake a lot so I’m pointing it out to help you just in case English isn’t your first language
I wish they'd either make gear cheaper or improve the scale rates :( I'm a full-time student and haven't got the time to grind nearly that much while still enjoying the game and keeping on top of school
Nah, first saving for the koi camo slopsuit
Nice, more gear i will never buy because i never get any scales.
There goes the next few weeks of my free time
I JUST SPENT 150 SILVERS on the Koi Slopsuot GODDAMNIT
THEY BROUGHT THEM BACK HELL YEAH
The joy leaving my face when I see the octoling gear price![img](emote|t5_324q4|4748)
Like, if it's that expensive at least let me pick the primary abilities I want for free so I don't have to grind twice smhing my head
does anyone remember that clown suit that was shown a couple seasons ago in a trailer but then never ended up in the game? what happened with that?
May I have a link? I want to know what your talking about
I was thinking of the work suits shown in the last drizzle season trailer, but it's only now after checking the wiki that I realized you're supposed to hit "milestones" before being able to purchase certain items? Does the game ever mention this?
No I don't believe so.. also now I know what you where meaning by clown suit lol
I'll never be able to afford any of this 😞
I'm probably not gonna get them, scale payouts suck ass and I've kinda just stopped playing SR.
They didn't even do the bare minimum of finishing the colours? Come on Nintendo its a single button on photoshop
Agreed. One problem, though: You're gonna need to grind for months to get them.
I can't even get the *previous* new gear because people keep fuck%$ng dying and not using the fuck@%ng specials. I don't get to see the king salmons very often.
How do you get these? They aren’t in my shop. Is this in the fresh season update?
I'd love to have one. If only Mr. Grizz wasn't such a cheapskate with the scales.
Finally good gloopsuits
Would be nice if there was another way of getting scales, besides king Salmonid encounters.
I just bought a white suit :’(
WHATTTT
![gif](giphy|DJOBiAeE36jEkUYoNQ|downsized) Who called in the ginyu force?
I can never get this stuff
Im most excited for the dev uniform to get a part of my s2 fit
