The Mothership

The Mothership is a Known Occurrence in Salmon Run.

Description
In this event, a Mothership will spawn. Chinooks carry crates of Lesser Salmonids from the Mothership to the battleground. The Mothership will try to take eggs from the egg basket.

What Happens

 * New troops are brought to the battleground from the Mothership.
 * A large number of Chinooks will bring containers of lesser Salmonids from the Mothership to join the fray.
 * Periodically, the Mothership will draw close to the egg basket and try to suck up and reclaim any Golden Eggs inside.

How to Get Golden Eggs

 * Shoot the containers carried by the Chinooks to make them explode.
 * If you manage to blow up the Chinooks as well, they will drop Golden Eggs.

Advice from Mr. Grizz

 * Split up to take out the Chinooks.
 * If the Mothership comes to take back the Golden Eggs, everyone should focus on pushing it back!

Supplementary Information

 * The Mothership is a vital cog in the Salmonid distribution chain.
 * Deploying the Mothership is said to be the last resort of the Salmonid army. When it is dispatched, all troops stationed nearby gather together to see it off.
