'''Bluefin Depot''' is a multiplayer [[stage]] in {{S}} and {{S3}}. It is an abandoned coal mine with railway track above it. A river splits the stage down the middle, with the spawn areas connecting the left and right paths. In ''Splatoon 3'', the abandoned coal mine has since been turned into a museum.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SplatoonNA/status/1729138368410259793 @SplatoonNA]</ref>

'''Bluefin Depot''' is a multiplayer [[stage]] in ''[[Splatoon]]''. It was made available on June 20th, 2015 at {{UTC|hour=02|minutes=00|year=2015|month=06|day=20}} <ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.facebook.com/SplatoonEN | title = Splatoon on Facebook | publisher = Splatoon | date = 2015-06-19 | accessdate= 2015-06-19 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/611821015480471553 | title = Splatoon JP on Twitter | publisher = Splatoon Japan | date = 2015-06-19 | accessdate= 2015-06-19 }}</ref>.

Bluefin Depot consists of 4 different levels, the two uppermost most of which can only be accessed by the enemy team by [[grate]] walkways. The lowest level is divided by a body of water and requires traversing the third level to switch parts.
Bluefin Depot is an abandoned coal mine consisting of four different levels, the two uppermost of which can only be accessed by the enemy team by [[grate]]d walkways. The lowest level is divided by a body of water and requires traversing the third level to switch sides. It consists of two platforms that are separated from each other by a small body of [[water]] that cannot be jumped over. The level allows players to travel between both sides of the stage. Each team's base is comprised of two levels. The [[spawn point]] is located on the top level; it can only be reached via a grated walkway in the middle. The bottom level is where players can get to the different sides of the stage and can only be reached by a grated walkway on the opposing team's right.


==Notable Locations==
==Ranked Battle terrain==
*'''Lower Level'''- The lowest level of Bluefin Depot is most likely where most of the fighting between the two teams will take place. It consists of two platforms that are separated from each other by a small body of water that cannot be jumped over.
In [[Ranked Battle]]s, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.
*'''Upper Level'''- The level just above the lowest level of Bluefin Depot is where all traveling between both sides of the level below is made. [[Chargers]] cannot snipe too much from here, mainly because of the iron bridge running over the middle of the map.
*'''Base'''- Each team's base is made up of a top level and a bottom level. The top level is where players respawn; it can only be reached via a grated walkway in the middle. The bottom level is where players can get to the different sides of the depot and can only be reached by a grated walkway on the opposing team's right.  


==Hazards==
[[Water]] can be found all around Bluefin Depot. Players can easily fall in if they're not paying attention, especially if they are on a grated walkway.
 
==Ranked Battle==
===[[Splat Zones]]===
===[[Splat Zones]]===
[[File:Map Bluefin Depot Splat Zones Overhead.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Overhead map of Bluefin Depot splat zones.]]
The Splat Zone in Bluefin Depot can be found on the side that is closest to the ocean. Two ramps leading towards the Splat Zone are located on the other side of the stage. Walls have also been added on both sides of the stage. Blocks have also been added to the bottom level of the bases and to the lower level to even the ramp located on each side.
The Splat Zone in Bluefin Depot can be found on the side that's closest to the ocean. Two ramps leading towards the Splat Zone are located on the other side of the map. Walls have also been added on both sides of the map to help the each team attack the other team, and for mobility. Blocks have also been added to the bottom level of the bases prevent sniping from each base and to the '''Lower Level''' to even the ramp located on each side.
 
In ''Splatoon 3'' the Splat Zone is located on a newly added platform in the center of the stage. Once the zone is claimed, the platform will move to the side closest to the opponents. The walls on each side now come up when the zone is on the opposite side and retract when the zone is on that side. The left side of each team's raised platform now expands further along with an inkable wall for opponents as another way to enter their side.


===[[Tower Control]]===
===[[Tower Control]]===
In Tower Control, the tower starts in the center above water. Once claimed, it will move to the right and up the walls. Then, it crosses over to the left side and continues up until it reaches the goal.
In Tower Control, the Tower starts in the center, above the water and can be accessed by an added bridge. Once claimed, it moves to the right and up the walls. Then, it crosses over to the left side and continues up until it reaches the goal. Inkable blocks are added to the uninkable block on the left of the spawn point.


==Tips==
In ''Splatoon 3'' the Tower starts on a newly added bridge in the center of the stage. When traveling, it goes left, then up towards the very left of the stage. It then goes forward to the goal. The ramps in the middle of the stage has been reversed to drop off to the right side and grates are also added to make accessing the tower from the center easier.
*The elevated train tracks that cross over the middle of the map are a great place to throw [[Sprinkler]]s to cover the '''Lower Level''' on either side of the map.
*The water separating each side of the '''Lower Level''' is narrow enough so that players on one side can snipe or throw [[bomb]]s at unsuspecting players across the way.
*The stairs leading down from each team's [[Checkpoint|spawn point]] are difficult to cover, making them a prime target for [[Inkstrike]]s or [[Sprinkler]]s.
*High walls keep players out of the '''Upper Level''' from below. Placing an [[Ink Mine]] at the top will keep out members of the opposing team. Throwing a [[bomb]] or [[Point Sensor]] up before ascending is therefore a good idea.
*On each side of the '''Lower Level''' in the center are two thin perpendicular walls that form a plus sign when viewed from above. Use them as cover when performing an [[Inkstrike]] and ink and swim up them to ambush foes who expect you to maneuver around them.


== [[Squid Sisters]] quotes ==
===[[Rainmaker]]===
The [[Rainmaker (weapon)|Rainmaker]] is located in the middle of the stage. The control points are directly in front of the spawn points on each side. In this mode, there have been a few changes to the map, most notably the middle where the weapon is located. There are pathways, as well as a platform where the Rainmaker sits and ramps that allow players to easily move between the two sides of the stage. A box and grated walkway leading up to this section are added on the left.


===English quotes===
In ''Splatoon 3'' the checkpoints are located on the low ground from the left of the Rainmaker starting position and on the high ground in the open area to the right after the elevator, replacing a block normally there. The pedestal is on the open area right next to spawn. The ramp leading up to it has been replaced by an uninkable staircase and another ramp is added next to the checkpoint on the high ground. The left side has the platform added in Splat Zones with the wall near it being shrunken, allowing another way to the checkpoint.

Bluefin Depot is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon and Splatoon 3. It is an abandoned coal mine with railway track above it. A river splits the stage down the middle, with the spawn areas connecting the left and right paths. In Splatoon 3, the abandoned coal mine has since been turned into a museum.[1]

Layout

Bluefin Depot is an abandoned coal mine consisting of four different levels, the two uppermost of which can only be accessed by the enemy team by grated walkways. The lowest level is divided by a body of water and requires traversing the third level to switch sides. It consists of two platforms that are separated from each other by a small body of water that cannot be jumped over. The level allows players to travel between both sides of the stage. Each team's base is comprised of two levels. The spawn point is located on the top level; it can only be reached via a grated walkway in the middle. The bottom level is where players can get to the different sides of the stage and can only be reached by a grated walkway on the opposing team's right.

Ranked Battle terrain

In Ranked Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.

Splat Zones

The Splat Zone in Bluefin Depot can be found on the side that is closest to the ocean. Two ramps leading towards the Splat Zone are located on the other side of the stage. Walls have also been added on both sides of the stage. Blocks have also been added to the bottom level of the bases and to the lower level to even the ramp located on each side.

In Splatoon 3 the Splat Zone is located on a newly added platform in the center of the stage. Once the zone is claimed, the platform will move to the side closest to the opponents. The walls on each side now come up when the zone is on the opposite side and retract when the zone is on that side. The left side of each team's raised platform now expands further along with an inkable wall for opponents as another way to enter their side.

Tower Control

In Tower Control, the Tower starts in the center, above the water and can be accessed by an added bridge. Once claimed, it moves to the right and up the walls. Then, it crosses over to the left side and continues up until it reaches the goal. Inkable blocks are added to the uninkable block on the left of the spawn point.

In Splatoon 3 the Tower starts on a newly added bridge in the center of the stage. When traveling, it goes left, then up towards the very left of the stage. It then goes forward to the goal. The ramps in the middle of the stage has been reversed to drop off to the right side and grates are also added to make accessing the tower from the center easier.

Rainmaker

The Rainmaker is located in the middle of the stage. The control points are directly in front of the spawn points on each side. In this mode, there have been a few changes to the map, most notably the middle where the weapon is located. There are pathways, as well as a platform where the Rainmaker sits and ramps that allow players to easily move between the two sides of the stage. A box and grated walkway leading up to this section are added on the left.

In Splatoon 3 the checkpoints are located on the low ground from the left of the Rainmaker starting position and on the high ground in the open area to the right after the elevator, replacing a block normally there. The pedestal is on the open area right next to spawn. The ramp leading up to it has been replaced by an uninkable staircase and another ramp is added next to the checkpoint on the high ground. The left side has the platform added in Splat Zones with the wall near it being shrunken, allowing another way to the checkpoint.

Clam Blitz

The Clam Basket is located on the first drop from spawn, closer to the edge of the area. The center of the stage is similar to in Tower Control and the areas on the left of the spawn area are added.

Trivia

  • Evening and night variants of this map exist in Octo Valley, in the missions Octoling Uprising and Undeniable Flying Object, respectively.
    • At the end of Undeniable Flying Object, after the Octostriker has been defeated and the music stops, some unusual sounds can be heard: an erratic clanking and a faint moan, which are slightly louder towards the edge of the UFO. These sounds could also be heard when using Recon to explore Bluefin Depot during a Splatfest. Given Callie's comments on the stage, they may be the result of paranormal happenings or simply the deterioration of old structures.
  • Bluefin Depot is one of two stages to have appeared in an Octo Valley mission yet not be available to play multiplayer battles on at launch, alongside Kelp Dome.
  • In the Octo Expansion, Cap'n Cuttlefish refers to Bluefin Depot in E02 Bust & Run Station.

Translation notes

  1. ↑ "The word "鮪" is rarely used in Cantonese, therefore people tend to mispronounce the word. In Cantonese, tuna is typically called 吞拿魚 (tan1 naa4 jyu2).
