Walleye Warehouse

Walleye Warehouse is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon.

Layout
Walleye Warehouse is a close-quarters stage, featuring a plethora of obstacles such as crates, boxes, and conveyor belts. Beginning from each team's respawn point on opposite sides of the symmetrical arena, narrow areas lead into the central battlefield. Multiple small, hidden pathways are also present on both sides of the stage.

Notable Locations

 * Central Battlefield – The Central Battlefield is a large, open area with towers of stacked crates serving as vantage points for players. Most of the fighting takes place here.
 * Side Passages – There are four side passages in this stage: 2 high elevation, and 2 low elevation. They are all accessed on the left or right sides of the arena and lead to small pockets on the side of the central battlefield. The side passages also serve as a relatively quick path to the enemies' base.

Hazards
It is possible to fall through the fencing that lines the map. If one falls through they will go out-of-bounds and respawn back at their respective base.

Splat Zones
The Splat Zone in this map is located in the central battlefield, with half on one side, half on the other. The stacked crates are at the center of the zone. In order to gain control of the zone, a team will have to take control of both sides and defend the opposing side from enemy ink in order to keep the zone.

Tower Control
The Tower is positioned in the center stack of crates at the beginning of the match.

Development
Walleye Warehouse underwent a series of changes between its development period and release. The pre-release version included many differences, such as:
 * The crates near teams' bases were fully inkable.
 * The ramps used to access different levels of teams' bases were fully inkable.
 * There were large crates hanging from moving hooks in the Central Battlefield.
 * The current stack of boxes in the Central Battlefield was not present.
 * The Side Passages were not present.
 * Stairs were used to access teams' Spawn Points.

Tips

 * Given the shape of the area around the spawn points, it is possible to pin an entire team into their spawn area with enough firepower. While this is very uncommon, should it actually happen, it can lead to an overwhelming victory.
 * In Splat Zones, it can be very easy to get flanked while the Splat Zone is under your teams control so checking the areas to the side of the Splat Zone can ensure that you won't get attacked by surprise later in the game.

Trivia

 * Walleye Warehouse was one of the two playable stages during the Splatoon Global Testfire, alongside Saltspray Rig.
 * Callie and Marie once held a part-time job here prior to hosting Inkopolis News.
 * The map's name is a reference to the real-life Walleye. This is most likely due to how a real life Walleye is an Olive/Brownish color, and can be described as somewhat rectangular; almost like a box.
