Description

The spawner drone bears a strong resemblance to a cappuccino machine, continuing the theme of the spawn points in Splatoon 2. The symbol on the bottom resembles the spawn point from Splatoon and Splatoon 2. Each Inkling and Octoling spawns on the drone with a different animation depending on which weapon they are using.

Mechanics

The player is able to aim for a landing spot before being launched into battle by the drone. The player is able to aim upwards, as well. It is currently unknown if the player will be able to Super Jump back to their drone, or if they will also serve as a spawn point. You can see where your teammates are landing which are marked by squid shaped shadows (say that ten times fast).
