Squid Beakon

The Squid Beakon is a Sub Weapon in Splatoon.

Description
After being placed by an Inkling, other Inklings on the same team will be able to Super Jump to the placed Beakon. When an Inkling from an opposing team shoots the other team's Beakon, or when the Beakon has been used once, it will be destroyed and no longer available for use. Up to three Beakons can be placed down by one person at any one time. If the user attempts to place another Beakon after three have already been placed, the new Beakon will be placed but the earliest active Beakon will be destroyed.

Tips

 * Try to place the Beakons in advantageous places that enemies cannot easily reach.
 * If done correctly, Beakons can be used as bait, which is especially effective in the more competitive atmosphere of Ranked Battles. When an enemy comes to destroy it, the player can ambush them.
 * Spray some Ink around the Beakon so an arriving ally can hide immediately after landing.
 * If a good spot for a Beakon is found, place a new one as soon as it is used.
 * Like Sprinklers, Beakons can be used as light shields in a pinch, taking some damage in place of the user.
 * Even when not used as shields, the attention drawn by an unguarded Beakon can be used to one's advantage for an ambush or escape.

Countering

 * When facing a team with Squid Beakons, can be used to predict where enemies will Super Jump to or to destroy the Beakons before they can be used.
 * A Beakon may be bait - it would be wise to keep an eye on one's surroundings when destroying it.

Trivia

 * There are no Splatlings or Sloshers with the Squid Beakon as their Sub Weapon.
 * The name is a play on words between a beacon and a squid's beak.
 * The Squid Beakon resembles an airport surveillance radar in appearance.
