Cohock Charge

View from a cannon during a Cohock Charge

Cohock Charge is a Known Occurrence in Salmon Run.

Description

The only Lesser Salmonid that spawns during this event is the Cohock. Ink Cannons appear to help the players defeat the horde. This event can only occur during low tide. When a cannon is colored with the player team's ink, that indicates that a player is using it. The cannons consume 10% of the player's ink tank per shot, allowing for ten shots per ink tank. Ink cannot be recovered whilst using a cannon.

Supplementary Information

• Apparently there are special rooms in the Salmonid barracks set aside for large numbers of Cohocks to gather and practice.

Tips

• Even with the help of Ink Cannons, it is still difficult to kill bosses due to large numbers of Cohocks surrounding them.
• Players in a cannon should be aware of bosses like Maws or Steel Eels sneaking up on them.
  • Players can see a Maws' green indicator periodically, but most of the time it is difficult to leave the Ink Cannon before it's too late.
  • Players should also be aware of Flyfish missiles.
  • Players in cannons can react to missiles because of the sound of the missiles being launched.
  • Steel Eels don't make any sound if you have not seen them, so it is common for players in cannons to be splatted by surprise by them.
• Having only one player in a cannon at a time is usually more beneficial than having two or three players occupied by this task.
• On maps like Marooner's Bay or Spawning Grounds, there are Ink Cannons that are elevated and further away, which are best for killing Salmonid. These cannons are also known as Top Cannons.
  • The Top Cannon on Marooner's Bay has a difficult angle on Salmonid closer to the basket, so it is best for another crewmate to go in a different cannon temporarily.
• Try to avoid hitting Scrappers whilst in an Ink Cannon, since they will then face towards the Ink Cannon and away from the basket.
• Players on Ark Polaris should rotate between cannons since said cannons are very close to the basket and cannot hit bosses easily.
• Cannon missiles can destroy Flyfish baskets.
  • Crewmates not in cannons should position themselves so Flyfish are facing the cannons for an easy splat.
• Cannons can easily kill Stingers from far away. However, players may need to rotate cannons to reach them.
• Cannon missiles can instantly destroy Steelheads about to launch a bomb by shooting them anywhere on their body while the bomb is inflating.
• Players who have the Grizzco Slosher or a Charger shouldn't go in cannons since their shots can pierce through Cohocks.
  • Unlike other Chargers, the shots of Bamboozlers cannot pierce through Salmonid, so it is best for them to be in a cannon.
