The Reef

The Reef is an online multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2. Located a few blocks from Inkopolis Square, it's a popular area to hang out when it's not being used for Turf War. The Reef is home to some of the most popular boutique shops in the city.

Layout
The Reef features many wide open areas, with separate high and low levels. This creates many flanking paths around many of its key areas.

Notable Locations

 * The Bridge - The bridge in the center of the map provides a great view of the battle field from all sides. It gives quick access to the opposite side of the map and is often fought over through out every match.

Splat Zones
In Splat Zones, the zone can be found below the bridge. Boxes have been added around the bridge to help teams attack players on the bridge and gain control of it and the zone.

Tower Control
The tower initially starts below the bridge. When advancing, the tower goes left to a checkpoint. The tower then goes around the tree and stops at another check point. After, the tower advances again toward the opposing team's base and stops at one last checkpoint before reaching the goal. Ramps and boxes have been added to give both teams access to the other team's base.

Rainmaker
Like the tower in Tower Control, the Rainmaker starts below the bridge in the center of The Reef. Each goal is located next to the car in each base. Several ramps have been added that give each team access to the other team's base.

Tips

 * Gaining control of the bridge usually gives the team in control a big advantage.
