Wave Tutorials

Normal Tide

Map Specific

  • Begin by inking the basket platform walls, they are very important and throughout the wave if you jump down and the walls become covered in the Salmonids ink, re-ink the walls as much as possible.
  • Try and ink the areas around the ink rails to help players easily get onto a rail. Useful tech to use if required is to jump from one ink rail to another for safe and quick travel.
  • If there are Salmonids below an ink rail while you are travelling you may be bumped off. You can try and jump over them while on the rail in squid mode. You can jump while on rails to throw bombs into Flyfish or shoot for a short period if required. Note that when you do throw bombs from an ink rail the trajectory can be higher so this may take a while to perfect.
  • Remember that these are ink rails and not ride rails that were seen on the Ruins of Ark Polaris so you must remain in squid mode. When you get splatted you cannot ride the ink rails in your lifesaver.
  • You can jump onto any part of an ink rail so maximise this as you could jump from the basket platform onto an ink rail to reach outer areas of the map.
  • Be wary about trying to over lure bosses. In order for bosses to get to the basket, they have to travel up the ramps and across the grates. This can be very time consuming and they can also get stalled or lured off your teammates which will waste time.
  • Don’t be afraid to jump down and splat bosses, it’s a pretty short distance to throw eggs to the basket area. You can always throw 1 egg to the direction you are travelling or to the basket area and pick up another egg. So you could always get a minimum of 2 eggs from bosses if it’s too time consuming or risky to wait and collect all 3 eggs.
  • Long range weapons can try and keep the high ground to splat/damage Salmonids from afar. Be sure to keep an eye on quota management and run eggs while doing this.
  • If Big Shots spawn and you go out to splat them, there are a few small walls around all of their spawn areas. Be sure to paint them if possible to have a quick exit route because these areas can get overrun quickly. As always do NOT camp Big Shot spawns for too long, be sure keep an eye on the quota and how many players are alive.
  • All of the Fish Stick spawns are around basket and can easily be splatted from the basket platform or grates. Splat them quickly so they don’t interfere with the basket platform and run their eggs when possible.
  • Several Flyfish can be taken down with one splat bomb depending where they spawn from and if they are facing the correct way. See CheWoomy’s demonstration

General Tips

  • Always paint walls and areas around the basket before the wave starts.
  • If mobile bosses spawn at the beginning you can throw bombs or shoot lessers from a distance with long range weapons while you wait for them to get closer to basket.
  • Stalling bosses far away and quota management should be monitored closely. If teammates are stalling bosses either help them splat the bosses to get back to the objective or if there are other bosses from another side use this time to lure and splat them close to basket. With more experience your decision making will improve in these situations and it will be reflected in winning games that previously may have been lost.
  • If quota isn’t met with 20-30 seconds left, you should try and prioritise bosses closer to basket and avoid static bosses. Your help is needed at the basket. Instead, use a far ranging special (Killer Wail, Booyah Bomb etc) to take care of the static bosses that are causing disruptions.

Avoid

  • Avoid spending too much time on the far ends of the map. Only use this area to escape if the basket side is overrun or return to the basket area after splatting Stingers, Flyfish or Big Shots.
  • If teammates are stalling bosses far away and there is no opportunity to lure them, help your teammates splat the bosses and avoid being inactive or spamming “This Way!”.
  • Don’t all bunch together in one area as you may miss lures or risk a snowball from the opposite side.

High Tide

Map Specific

  • Inking the basket platform walls on this wave is very important. Try and keep it inked as much as possible throughout the wave.
  • High Tide can be quite tough because of the long grates you do have a limited area to work with. Try and use the high ground advantage of the raised basket platform to splat Salmonid early.
  • If you have a good melee weapon you should jump down and splat Salmonid quickly and throw eggs to the basket area. You do not want everyone camped at the basket and get overrun later, splat Salmonid swiftly.
  • If you blindly jump down and expect the basket platform walls to be inked, don’t assume this as the basket platform walls get inked by the Salmonid quite often and it can be difficult to climb back up.
  • You do not want to wait on lures to the basket area via the grates. This can be a big waste of time. If you do feel like you can lure something, try and be productive while you wait instead of just sitting in your ink.
  • Ensure that you splat Steel Eels early. If they come up to the basket, they can be very difficult to splat because of the small area.
  • Flyfish that spawn near the grates can be splatted by a single bomb. Here is one example from CheWoomy

General Tips

  • Listen for the sounds of the tides changing so you don’t get splatted to the rise of the tide.
  • Luring can be a lot more difficult and unnecessary in most cases, so prioritising slaying can be helpful to avoid snowballing.
  • High Tide can be more hectic than other tides. You want to remain mobile and be constantly splatting bosses and turfing.
  • Specials are important on this wave type as it can snowball very quickly.

Avoid

  • Do not group up at the basket for long periods. If there are Flyfish on the field that small area will get overwhelmed quickly and can result in multiple teammates getting splatted.

Low Tide

Map Specific

  • Maximise the ink rails on Low Tide. You can travel around the map from one ink rail to another from left to right without ever having to land on the ground at any point because they are all so close together.
  • Long range weapons can splat Stingers quite easily by standing on the left/right side of the basket area.
  • You want to avoid stalling bosses on the grates, especially Slammin’ Lids.
  • As the basket area is quite small unlike low tide on other maps, splatting Flyfish and Big Shots is very important. If you go out to these bosses and can’t get the splat immediately, just do whatever damage you can safely and then go back to them on another cycle. Using the ink rails will help speed up this process.
  • Drizzlers can be annoying on this tide, especially if they jump behind the basket and are ignored. If they are around the basket area, try and splat them quickly and keep an eye on if they spawn from the left and right areas because if they send Drizzler torpedoes from each side at the same time it can cause chaos at the basket area.

General Tips

  • If you need relief or want the Stingers to target you so teammates can take them out safely, use the back of the map if required.
  • If static bosses spawn at the bottom of the map and they are difficult to reach and quota is struggling to be met, if you have Killer Wail, Inkjet, Crab Tank, Booyah Bomb or Triple Inkstrike you can easily splat these bosses from a distance and get back to basket to help with quota.
  • If going after static bosses, always plan an escape route so you won’t be trapped

Avoid

  • Avoid spending too much time at the far ends of the map. If you splat Stingers here and the eggs look risky it is often best to ignore them and get back to the basket area. If you get splatted here it takes a long time to get back.
  • Steelheads can be troublesome if they are allowed to throw bombs at the basket after approaching from the water. Long range weapons should not ignore Steelheads.
  • Do not stun Scrappers on narrow paths as it can be very difficult to splat them, be patient and let them come towards the basket area first.
  • Slammin’ Lids can be block narrow paths so if you are able to splat them early, be sure to do so.

Goldie Seeking

Map Specific

Strategy:

A + H high: Goldie is in I
A high + H low: Goldie is in B or C
A low + G high: Goldie is in F
A low + G low: Goldie is in D or E

Normal Tide

Figure A

Based on Figure A start by opening gusher A. If A is high and H is high then the Goldie is in gusher I.

Figure B

Based on Figure B if A is high and H is low then the Goldie is in gushers B or C.

Figure C

Based on Figure C if A is low and G is high then the Goldie is in gusher F.

Figure D

Based on Figure D if A is low and G is low then the Goldie is in gushers D or E.

High Tide

Figure E

Based on Figure E start by opening gusher A. If gusher A is high then the Goldie is in gushers B or C.

Figure F

Based on Figure F if gusher A is low and E is High then the Goldie is in gushers D or F.

General Tips

  • Goldie Seeking is a Hot & Cold Mini-game where High Gushers mean you are close to a Goldie and Low Gushers mean you are far.
  • Start searching for the Goldie immediately, when there’s any downtime. Not looking for the Goldie quickly enough is one of the main reasons quota fails happen during Goldie seeking. Long range weapons should prioritise searching for the Goldie as they can open gushers from afar which saves valuable time.
  • When searching for the Goldie, try and memorise the patterns that we have suggested below.
  • Rollers can be used in front of the Goldie to extract more eggs. Hold ZR and move your stick left and right slowly, especially strong with Dynamo and Flingza rollers. See: Roller Strategy by Marty
  • Common practice in Goldie Seeking is to open gushers alone so if you are in a squad the team should split up and after opening the first gusher the player should use “This Way!” if the gusher is high or “Booyah!” if the gusher is low so teammates on opposite sides can open their gushers. In Freelance this usually isn’t possible unless you are teamed with experienced players. So you will have to rely on yourself and some good luck.
  • To learn Goldie Seeking strategies in a more interactive way visit Gungee’s awesome Salmon Learn website (Splatoon 2 maps only at the moment).

Avoid

  • Do not open gushers when the Goldie has already been found.
  • If gushers around you are low that indicates the Goldie is further away so do not open more gushers in that area.
  • Do not ignore lessers.

Goldie Rush

Map Specific

  • A very tricky mode on this map. If you stay at the basket platform and lure the horde up there it is a tough strategy as you need all 4 players to be fully committed to it and be well positioned, unfortunately in Freelance this is rarely the case. The big issue with this is that the eggs often fall to the bottom and become difficult to run and when the horde comes from both directions, players can get splatted as they are unaware.
  • A simple strategy is for the player who is targeted to stay at the top of an ink rail so the horde stops below them and the rest of the team can shoot the horde and run the eggs. The target can also jump up and throw bombs below them to splat a good amount Chum. Keep repeating this while you are the target so you aren’t just clinging to the rail and not contributing anything. This may also save you from the Chum jumping up and splatting you.
  • The problem with the strategy above is the horde will always be at the same spot which makes egg running difficult. If you become the target, switch onto a different ink rail or lure the horde away so the others can run the eggs. If the targets alternate between ink rails, this is very helpful in running the eggs. See Hydro’s demonstration

General Tips

  • Be aggressive and keep shooting the incoming lines of Salmonids when you know you can. The moment the team stops their offensive pressure, the Chums and Goldies can easily overwhelm you and cause a team wipe very quickly. It’s very important to splat the Goldies especially if you have a high DPS weapon.
  • If you have aggro (Glowflies on you) and you’re noticing that you won’t be able to take out the enemies coming at you alone, Jump onto a nearby painted wall to buy time for yourself and your team to survive, and get eggs in. Especially useful in emergencies and if there is an abundance of eggs.
  • Rush Wave has fixed intervals similar to a normal shift when a new wave of Salmonids / Chums spawn, that depends on your Hazard Level – this is also the same interval that changes the glowflies on the targeted player! Learning these intervals will help you prevent getting surprised! Chart by Minaraii
  • Goldies spawn for every 20 NEW CHUMS Spawned – this is very important to know so if you and your co-workers don’t splat enough Chums, no new Goldies will spawn.
  • Roller type weapons should stay near the basket and keep rolling forward slowly to create a wall of defense for the team. This takes out all incoming chums and slows down/weakens Goldies for teammates to finish them off. If you have Dynamo, roll slowly to be ink efficient. Stop moving but continue to hold ZR to refill your ink.
  • Splat and Tenta Brella users should launch their shield as much as possible to create a similar defensive wall effect, though slightly more limited.
  • Chargers deal piercing damage so shooting in straight lines can deal good damage. Except for Snipewriter and Bamboozler
  • To maximise damage spread from Sloshers, arch your shots a little higher to deal damage using the full range of the sloshes.
  • IMPORTANT: Specials. Wave Breaker is very useful in filtering Chum and reviving teammates. Inkjet is the best special in this mode especially when you are down 1-3 teammates.It is wise to use Inkjet if you are being targeted so you can move the horde away from an area to allow teammates to run eggs safely while you shoot the horde. Booyah Bomb is very useful at allowing you to stay safe, revive teammates and clear an area. Use your Specials to help compensate for the lack of dps when teammates are down. Be careful when using Reef Slider with the Glowflies on you, it is highly probable you will be splatted. Crab Tank is very strong in turret mode and it is possible to roll some Chum but be careful you don’t get splatted when doing this. Killer Wail and Triple Inkstrike are not the best for this wave but if situations are dire then special usage is better than no special usage.

Avoid

  • If eggs fall to the far from basket it is often best to ignore them as teammates can get overwhelmed with one less player or the Glowflies could switch to you and get you splatted.
  • Wall clinging should only be used if the Glowflies are targeting you and there are many eggs which the team are struggling to run. It allows them time to run eggs safely and can buy some time to revive splatted teammates. Keep in mind that after wall clinging there is large pile up of Chums/Goldies now. Wall clinging for too long will cause Chums to jump up and splat you instantly.

Cohock Charge

Map Specific

  • Using the back cannon is very useful as it can reach all bosses that spawn. Teammates can keep an eye on spawns and if they are piling up, get in one of the other cannons to assist the back cannon user.
  • It is also quite easy to use the left and right cannons. Just be aware of Maws as they travel a very short distance to the cannons and you probably won’t see them so may need to rely on hearing them.

General Tips

  • Make sure at least one person is in a cannon at all times. If no one is in a cannon to shoot the incoming waves of Cohocks, the basket will get overwhelmed extremely quickly.
  • Prioritise Stingers, Flyfish and Big Shots. These bosses have a habit of targeting players in cannons and pinning them down, effectively disabling the use of the cannons altogether. Once the cannons are unusable, the wave is usually lost.
  • A cannon shot can OHKO a Flyfish if you shoot right above the pilot. Otherwise you don’t have to be perfectly accurate when dismantling a Flyfish. See this demonstration by Nick
  • Cannons can also OHKO Fish Sticks before they land. See this demonstration by Reyko
  • When luring bosses if you are inside a cannon or on the map try and damage/splat Cohocks while you wait. However be wary of stunning Scrappers and slowing down the luring too much. If the basket area is getting overwhelmed then ignore luring until it is relatively clear.
  • Egg runners should be aware of Maws and Drizzler torpedoes so cannon users are protected. If egg runners see mobile bosses spawn you can wait and let them come closer.
  • Often it can be difficult to see a Maws approaching while in cannons so it is important to listen out for the sound that Maws makes as it approaches, jump out of the cannon until you find out who it is targeting. As an egg runner if you see a Maws targeting a cannon user try and splat the Maws with a splat bomb throw and then revive the player after.
  • You may have to give up on cannons to help run eggs if your egg runners are overstaying at the spawns.

Avoid

  • If someone is already in cannons do not waste time by fighting over the cannons instead play your role as an egg runner. If you do take up a cannon do not constantly leave the cannon and let bosses and Cohocks pile up.
  • As an egg runner do not guard far eggs or spend too much time far away from the basket as this slows down lures and can cause problems meeting quota.
  • Cannon users should avoid splatting mobile bosses far from basket if possible.

Mothership

Map Specific

Normal Tide
  • This map is great for long range weapons as they can stand around the basket and shoot down coolers from most areas of the map.
  • There is a high concentration of coolers that land around the Pit area. 
High Tide
  • This map is small on High Tide so you must try and keep on top of cooler management so you aren’t overrun by Lessers.
Low Tide
  • When coolers spawn on the outer areas and you collect those eggs it is a short distance from this area to the basket so be sure to throw your eggs closer to basket.
  • Maximise the ink rails to travel to the basket when the Mothership is coming to the basket and going out to far eggs/coolers.

General Tips

  • Keep running eggs! In less experienced groups, if even a single player isn’t running eggs consistently, meeting the egg quota can become very difficult. It can become easy for players with longer range to get into a habit of doing nothing but shooting down coolers. This is only effective in very specific scenarios.
  • Split your team up to different parts of the map, to maximise the amount of coolers and eggs the team can handle. If one area isn’t covered by any player, coolers will start to pile up in that area which can cause issues.
  • Some blasters and the explosher can either clip the top of the Mothership or arch their shots on top of the Mothership for extra eggs when it is at basket.
  • When the Mothership is departing the basket, if your weapon has enough range, you can aim at the highest point in the centre to shoot a few more coolers.
  • Eggs come from splatting the Chinook and not the cooler itself, this can be useful when you are slightly late to a cooler.
  • Try to take out the nearby coolers first and leave the far coolers alone. This way, more coolers will spawn closer to basket => less timing running far eggs.
  • Specials: you can use Crab Tank turret mode to deal huge damage to the ship and cooler bunch at the end. Triple Inkstrike and Killer Wail are fair options, but make sure to use it before the Ship is repelled to get the cooler bunch.
  • Note: the Mothership will attach to basket in two passes: about 65 seconds left and 15 seconds left. Make sure you are near basket to help fend off the Ship.
  • Keep and eye out for Snatchers that could possibly help bring far eggs to the basket area.

Avoid

  • Do not ignore lessers and let them pile up.
  • If coolers are flying towards basket, don’t splat them far away.

Grillers

Map Specific

  • On most of the other maps you want to lure the Grillers to the basket area, however on this map it takes such a long time for them to reach the basket area. When they do come up it’s very difficult to splat them because of the Smallfry and being unable to get a good angle to shoot the tail.
  • So it may be easier to splat them at the platform between the left and right shores as they are much easier to shoot from above. Then throw the eggs up when possible. Try and use the throw 1 and pick up another egg straight after strategy. See Hydro’s demonstration
  • Even with this strategy it is not easy because if you keep stunning the Grillers in the same place it can be difficult to pick up those eggs because of the incoming Grillers and Smallfry. Unfortunately in Freelance especially you will have to do your best to try and get quota and manage the Grillers.
  • If the Grillers are targeting you and there are plenty of eggs to meet quota, try and lure the Grillers away from that area and allow your teammates to run the eggs
  • You may have to use specials on this mode because it can be difficult to meet quota so keep an eye on the quota and time left as much as possible.

General Tips

  • It is good to have one cleaner who focuses Smallfry. This typically applies to most Brellas, Rollers, and Sloshers. In large numbers, Smallfries can cause massive problems during Grillers, and can stop your team from getting stuns effectively. Weapons with low damage, or rollers should especially be taking on this role.
  • If there are powerful long range weapons like Splatling or charger their job is usually to focus stunning/shooting the Grillers. The other weapons can flex but be sure to help each other if smallfry are overwhelming.
  • When using Slosher it is possible to arch your shots over the Griller and deal damage to the tail if you aim correctly.
  • If a pile up is occurring or the quota is struggling to be met, specials should be used. Killer Wail is able to target two Grillers, stun them and deal a decent amount of damage or splat them if they are already weakened. Inkjet can be used here and it’s often a good idea to hover over the basket for extra elevation, safety and better angles. Triple Inkstrike and Booyah Bomb both do sufficient damage to Grillers enabling them to be stunned and weakened. Reef Slider can go through Grillers and cause a quick burst of damage but be mindful of where you start the Special and where you will end up as you might get splatted by either the Grillers or Smallfry. When using the turret mode of the Crab Tank, ensure the Grillers are not targeting you and that you are somewhere safe, ideally on top of the tower, so as to get maximum use out of the Special. Wave Breaker is very good for dealing with Smallfry but be mindful where you place it as the Grillers can destroy it.
  • Grillers can be lured away from basket to give players some time to collects eggs or clear Smallfry. This can also be used if players are getting splatted to give others time to revive them so they don’t get overwhelmed.
  • Always know where the Grillers are. Watch the red laser and who the Griller is targeting. This lets you know where the Griller plans to go, and allows you to avoid its path accordingly. If you lose track of where a Griller is, there’s a decent chance it’ll blindside you and take you out.
  • Keep stunning the Grillers! Don’t let up on the aggression towards the Griller tails and consistently shoot them. If a single Griller gets out of control on high tide, a team wipe or quota failure becomes extremely likely.

Avoid

  • Don’t be too erratic with your movement causing the Grillers to splat your teammates. It is possible to wall cling temporarily to buy some time in certain situations.
  • Do not ignore Smallfry especially if you have the strongest weapon for dealing with them.
  • When shooting the Grillers try to avoid body blocking each other’s shots by strafing or moving too much.
  • Don’t wall cling for too long as Smallfry can splat you and by doing so there is one less player contributing to splatting Smallfry/Grillers.

Fog

Map Specific

  • Goldie lures can be difficult during Normal and High Tides.  Goldies have to go up the ramps and across the grates to reach the basket which can take a long time. Prioritise splatting bosses and not getting overrun.
  • Goldie lures are fairly easy on Low Tide. As low tide is quite small the Goldies don’t have too far to travel to the basket area. Ideally you don’t want to splat them on the grates because it will be difficult to run the eggs.

Avoid

  • Do not splat Goldies far from the basket, lure them at all times unless there is a snowball.
  • If teammates are stalling bosses at the bottom and there is no opportunity to lure them help splatting the bosses and avoid being inactive or spamming “This Way!”.
  • Don’t all bunch together in one area as you may miss lures or risk a snowball from the opposite side. Long range or low DPS weapons can stay near the basket.

General Tips

  • Functions very much the same as regular Normal, High and Low Tides just with the addition of Goldies which should be lured to the basket. Try and identify them early and work on the lure while also being proactive with boss or lesser splats.
  • Goldies drop random amount of eggs when splatted that can range from just one, five or ten.
  • If you move close to the Goldie you can make it switch targets to you to help the luring process.
  • If the game is getting out of hand then don’t worry about luring Goldies and focus on quota and boss management instead.
  • As vision is impaired be on the lookout for Stingers, Flyfish and Drizzler torpedoes. Always check these spawn locations to confirm. Use “This Way” if you need help.

Avoid

  • Do not splat Goldies far from the basket, lure them at all times unless there is a snowball.
  • If teammates are stalling bosses far away and there is no opportunity to lure them help splatting the bosses and avoid being inactive or spamming “This Way!”.
  • Don’t all bunch together in one area as you may miss lures or risk a snowball from the opposite side. Long range or low DPS weapons can stay near the basket.

Mudmouth

Map Specific

  • Pretty simple on this map. Keep an eye on Snatcher directions so they can possibly help with bringing eggs closer to the basket while you splat other Mudmouths.
  • Use the high ground that this map offers to throw bombs into the Mudmouths from a good height which makes it easier to get them inside the Mudmouth.

General Tips

  • An easy mode to pass, just throw 3 Splat Bombs inside the Mudmouth’s mouth to splat the Mudmouth and receive up to 6 eggs from it. Green Mudmouths will spew Smallfry or Chum and gold Mudmouths will spew Cohocks. 
  • Important for powerful weapons to clear Cohocks: For example, the Dynamo can just stand in front of a Mudmouth and roll lessers with ease allowing teammates to throw bombs. 
  • Explosher can slosh into the base of the mouth and it will have the same effect as bombs. See this demonstration by Reyko
  • A charged attack with the Grizzco Splatana can damage Mudmouths. 
  • Crab Tank and Inkjet shots aimed inside the Mudmouth can also have the same effect as throwing bombs. Killer Wail, Triple Inkstrike and Booyah Bomb can splat Mudmouths.
  • Think of this wave as a race. You want Mudmouths to spawn near basket as many times as possible. So if you see a far Mudmouth spawn and your team is collecting eggs, go to the far Mudmouth and splat it safely. 

Avoid

  • As this is a relatively straight forward wave type you may be better served saving your Specials for other waves if it isn’t wave 3.
  • If Mudmouths spawn far away from basket but then after you splat one, more spawn near basket it may be best to leave those far eggs and splat the closer Mudmouths and deposit those eggs.

Tornado

Map Specific

  • At the time of writing this the possible “glitch” strategy is still working, so we will mention it. It works with one player throwing an egg right next to the foot of an ink rail and another player picking up that egg then throwing it in the water and it bounces from the water into the basket. See Marty’s demonstration
  • Although this looks fun and is a viable strategy we do not recommend this in Freelance as it’s highly unlikely that your teammates will coordinate this with you and you will be wasting a lot of time and possibly lose one of the easiest wave types
  • The other strategy is simple, and you can get the eggs into basket via 2 throws. First you throw eggs towards the ink rail at the right shore. Pick up those eggs and use that ink rail to throw the eggs into basket. When you get to the end of the rail and jump to throw your egg, aim a little higher so it goes into the basket and doesn’t land before it.
  • When lessers fall out of the sky for the second time and they fall near you, try and keep them away from the ink rail and eggs so they can be run easily.

General Tips

  • Another very simple mode; after popping the egg box it is easier if 3 teammates throw eggs into the middle area of the map and 1 person (can be high dps or mobile weapon) picks up and throws those eggs closer to the basket.
  • Lessers will drop down from the sky, usually on top of the 1 person in the middle (They drop in a wide area with the low tide basket as the center). That player should stay mobile while shooting the lessers so they don’t get splatted easily. 
  • At this point, 1-2 teammates that were throwing the eggs from the box should move into the middle and help with throwing eggs closer to the basket and splatting lessers.
  • A good mode to practice Squid Roll to pick up eggs quicker and provide a little extra distance because of the roll to throw the eggs a little further. 
  • Another tip is to “Always keep moving and think of ways to use your ink efficiently while balancing egg throws and lesser control.”
  • Lessers will drop down in three waves: once at the start of the wave around the first crate and then twice around the area where the low tide basket usually is.

Avoid

  • If you have a weapon that can deal with lessers easily then try not to only run eggs but also work on lesser control.
  • When lessers fall from the sky do not be static when firing your weapon, as you will most likely get splatted. Try and be mobile and shoot/run eggs.
