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

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 Inklings and Octolings can buy food and drink that will give them bonuses for the next twenty battles. Each snack and drink requires a different Crust Bucket ticket, which can be sourced in a variety of ways, such as bonuses from Salmon Run, or as collectables found in Hero Mode's levels.

Ordering foods from the Crust Bucket will boost the amount of Cash or experience earned from multiplayer matches, while drinks will 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 round.

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.
