Crust Bucket



"Welcome to the Crust Bucket. I've got snacks and drinks that'll increase your experience and cash flow when you battle! Just give me a ticket, and I'll hook you up with an item. What'll it be?"

- Crusty Sean introducing the Crust Bucket

The Crust Bucket is a food truck owned and run by Crusty Sean in Splatoon 2. It is found in the center-right of Inkopolis Square.

Description
The Crust Bucket is a food truck owned by Crusty Sean, where the player can buy a food or drink that will give them bonuses for the next twenty battles. Each food and drink requires a different Crust Bucket ticket, which can be sourced in a variety of ways, such as bonuses from Salmon Run, collectables found in Octo Canyon's levels, and a vending machine in.

Foods from the Crust Bucket boost the amount of Cash or level experience earned from multiplayer matches, while drinks increase both the chances of rolling a certain ability on gear when it attains enough experience and the amount of said experience it gets per match.

Only one food or drink may be active at one time. Buying a food or drink while still having match bonuses left will override the old bonuses with new ones, which Crusty Sean warns the player about.

Appearance
The truck itself is yellow with a grey stripe on the bottom. The door and the side have the Crust Bucket logo. Next to the truck is a metal trash can and a chalkboard sign written in the Inkling language. The ventilation roof is open on the top, along with the server window, which Crusty Sean stands behind. In front of the window is a ledge which soda cans and water bottles are placed on. The truck itself is covered in various graffiti. On the window, a Squid Sisters sunshade is sprawled out like a map, possibly taped onto the truck.

Foods
Foods increase the amount of cash or level experience gained after every online battle (except Private Battles) for twenty matches. Despite being online, Salmon Run shifts do not gain any benefits from food or drink tickets and also do not count toward the 20 battles for the tickets.

Drinks


All drinks increase the number of gear experience points awarded after an online match by 50% for twenty matches. In addition, each drink increases the chance that gear's sub ability slots are filled with the corresponding ability at the end of a match. Having a drink active gives its associated ability a 30% chance of being rolled regardless of a gear's Brand. Drinks do not affect Murch's rerolling.
