Stinger

Stingers are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run in.

Description
They use a weapon similar to the Sting Ray to splat Inklings at extreme range and through walls. Stingers only spawn in special holes scattered throughout the map. Stingers always appear on a stack of cooking pots placed on top of a gas burner. To defeat them, Inklings must shoot away the pots until the Stinger lands on the burner. Its hard to throw off a stingers aim once it starts firing, so player should focus on this Salmonid.

Basic Information

 * A Salmonid sniper atop a stack of pots and pans.
 * Not known to move from the beach.
 * The Salmonid on top can't be harmed with ink-based attacks.

Attack Behaviour

 * Attacks from a distance with powerful jets of ink that can pass through walls and other obstacles.

Elimination

 * Use your ink to knock pots away one at a time until the Salmonid lands on the flame below.

Supporting Information

 * Boils ink in its pots to generate the pressure required for its long-range attacks.
 * The pots are stacked high on top of a gas burner to allow the Stinger to effectively sight and attack enemies from a distance.
 * The Salmonid on top wears protective equipment to absorb the shock from the jet of ink.

Tips & Strategies

 * Weapons that have fast attack speeds like the Tri-Slosher and Splattershot lower Stingers especially quickly. By contrast, slower weapons such as rollers or the Jet Squelcher are left vulnerable for long periods of time while lowering Stingers.
