Callouts are concise phrases designed to broadcast as much information about the enemy as possible in as few syllables as possible. Splatoon squads should consider using them to improve team coordination.
Callouts use a common format of [number of enemies] at [location]. More detailed information may be called out: [weapon held by enemy] at [location] moving to [location]. If the enemy has taken damage: [weapon held by enemy] is weak. To say that the enemy is located where the player got splatted: On my X. Traded with [weapon held by enemy] is used to communicate that both the player and the enemy got splatted. Got [number of enemies] or Got [weapon held by enemy] are used to report any successful splats. [weapon held by enemy] got me is used to communicate that the player got splatted and the team is one down.
For example, a typical callout would be "Charger on their Snipe". This callout alerts the team that a Splat Charger or E-liter 3K player is at the most common sniping location.
Weapon Naming
The full weapon name could be used, but these abbreviations and alternate names make communication more efficient. Special Weapons should also be called out if they are being deployed.
