Giant Tornado

The Giant Tornado is a Known Occurrence in Salmon Run Next Wave.

Description

During this event, a gigantic tornado will appear. Anything in the sea will be sucked up by the tornado and flung toward land. Boxes of Golden Eggs will fall somewhere on dry land, and Lesser Salmonids will similarly be dropped off at random locations. While this event will only take place at low tide, the egg basket normally located by the shore will be obstructed by a boulder, forcing players to carry Golden Eggs all the way to the egg basket's usual location, usually by relaying them. To compensate for the practical difficulty of delivering the Golden Eggs in this situation, each Golden Egg delivered will count as two eggs for the purposes of the quota. No Snatchers spawn, so delivering and throwing golden eggs them is easier.

Salmonid Field Guide

The following text is quoted from the Salmonid Field Guide.

What Happens

• The ground will dry up, and a gigantic tornado will whirl to life by the shore.
• Anything in the sea, including Salmonids, will be sucked up by the tornado and flung toward land.

How to Get Golden Eggs

• Boxes packed full of Golden Eggs will fall somewhere on dry land.
• Break open the boxes to release a large number of Golden Eggs.

Advice from Mr. Grizz

• Since the eggs may land far away from the basket, coordinate with your coworkers and use the Egg Throw.
• Dodge any Salmonids that come flying toward you, or splat them as you transport the eggs.

Supplementary Information

• There's no way to predict when a giant tornado might appear. It will fling all kinds of things out from the ocean, which usually results in a great number of Salmonid casualties.
• Flying debris will be present, and accidents are bound to happen. If you become unable to use the egg basket on dry land, a single egg delivered to the basket will be counted as two.

Tips

• Ideally, one player should stay with the box and toss eggs uphill, while the other two chain-throw the eggs the rest of the way to the basket. The final player should pitch in where necessary - clearing the box or chain-throwing, depending on which teammates are lagging behind, and keeping the salmonids away from their teammates.
• Players with heavy weapons should stay in the middle to relay the eggs and have defenders, while the highest firepower ones should gather the eggs from the box. The lightest player, or the one with the weakest weapon, should instead focus on bringing the eggs to the basket.
• Squid Roll towards the basket when picking up an egg to give the egg more distance, giving your teammates more leeway to pick it up. This also damages encroaching salmonids with the explosion from the toss, and the swim back to pick up another egg provides enough time to recharge the ink used for the throw, making it easy to get into a rhythm.
